Last night, I was shocked in conversation to find out that this guy was buying 5 different light fixtures, all $80 +, just to take home for his wife to choose one.
Wow. I can’t even fathom having an extra $320 that I could afford to tie up until I made the trip back to return the extra.
He’d have spent less money on gas if he’d just taken her up there some other time….and he’s still got to come back to return the extras. What purpose did that really serve?
Oh that’s right, it served to remind me that some people can waste money while others struggle to pay to see. [No I wasn’t at alllll bothered by that….*eyeroll]

We’ve done that with tile samples before. paint as well (though we keep the quarts we purchase).
Lower priced items like that are ok, but the fixtures…. though, if they wanted to see how they would look in their bathroom….

Well yeah but even if you buy 10 really expensive tiles, you’ve spent like 30 bucks total.
This guy spent an extra $320+ instead of just bringing his wife to pick out a light…
