Once to Have Luck of the Irish...but Twice???

   Just when I thought I would never in a million years beat my last "deal of the century penny sale"...it happened yet once again.  Am I a magnet for good deals? Do I have the eagle eye to scope them out?  Or is it just being at the right time and right place.  Well, if I'm casting my vote, I'll shoot for all three and sprinkle in a little luck!!! 
   So onto the "door buster of deals".  My gal pal and I were shopping at Elder-Beermans and she said she was looking for a new spring jacket...okay on we go to the coat department.  And there on a rack with a "halo" floating around it is a good looking black Nine West winter coat, it's about knee length with a big puffy collar, it actually looked like a "down" jacket but after closer inspection it wasn't.  Hey not a problem in my camp!!!
   The retail price on the coat was $225.00 and it was marked down to $167.99.  But I'm not stopping there because it was on the $14.99 rack...seriously???  Can this be right?  Well maybe I should try it on, and yes it fits like a glove but can it really be only $14.99?
   After the sales gal scans it and it comes up $14.99, she let's me know that this is a "door buster item" and I'm thinking that this is whatever is beyond a door buster special!!!  But all I can do is agree, get out my credit card, tell her it's a no-brainer, I'll take it and tell my friend, "this has to be blogged!!!".  I scratch my head and wonder how I got so lucky to find this coat and no one else did.  It was late afternoon and I'm sure at least 200 people had walked past this coat already and no one saw it or wanted it but me...very interesting!!!  This is actually the part of the blog to point out that if you believe in karma, destiny or fate, well it all rocked out in my favor and the direction it took was all about me.!!!
   So this one is going to be short and sweet...my tale has been told, shared and savoured.   When you knock it out of the ball park, well that is about as good as it gets, at least for the moment anyway!  How can I ever beat these two incredible, epic and iconic bargains?  I'm gonna have the time of my life trying too!!!  Now if I could just get over my addiction to flip flops!!!
