Can I tell you how much I love bargain shopping… but at the same time, how much I hate it? Let me tell you a random story that happened today:

So I’m bored, hanging out with my roommates all day, and I decide to jump online and look for bargain furniture. Not because I need it or anything, but just for fun.

Well I realize it’s been really hard to survive without a t.v. in my bedroom, so I search for some tv deals online. I find an ad for a tv, dvd player, VCR, and a tv stand…all for $40!!!!!! This guy was having a huge moving out sale and wanted to get rid of all his furniture. SCORE!!!

Ok I usually don’t buy furniture at the spur of the moment but COME ON! $40!!! Can’t pass that by. I drove over to the seller’s house with my roommate, Drea. The t.v. was waaay bigger in person than when I saw it online. It was nice and the tv stand even had racks for dvds. So immediately Drea, the nice young seller, and I all grabbed the tv (which weighed a ton) and tried to fit it in my Drea’s hyundai elantra. Next thing you know, it pours down like crazy on us. So I see Drea’s comfy thick blanket and we throw it on top of the tv to prevent it from getting soaked. We’re running around like crazy, trying to fit the damn tv into the backseat. It felt like we were playing tetris, moving things around trying to see what fit where. 

Next thing we know, a big gust of wind blows away the tv stand and it rolls away and hits a gutter, causing a few of the dvd holders to slip into the gutter. It was a nightmare! 

So then the rain disappeared and we were still struggling with the tv but we let out a breath of relief because the rain had stopped and we were soaked. All of a sudden, the rain decides to come back! Sheesh.

After finally fitting everything in the car, we drove home, laughed the whole thing off, and grabbed some Pinkberry. It was just a really funny sitcom-like experience that I just had to tell everyone. It worked out well because the tv and stand are beautiful. See:
