Went with my dad to pick up a window a/c unit.He's been having trouble with the central.Better safe than sorry,he don't need to be sitting in a hot house at his age.The no tax thing was a huge bonus.

It's only 5% off :huh: . I stayed home and played with the kids.

BrianS 08-14-2005 01:23 PM

bought a bedset...

$10 is $10

and a Bruschi jersey that I wouldnt have been taxed on anyway.

oh and a sherriff from salty.

fishsmith 08-14-2005 08:10 PM

a car battery, a whopping $2.75 savings.
No one would care if all stores announced 5% off day, but the feeling of getting back at Taxachusetts makes it worth it.

I'm only saying I wouldnt run out if all these stores ran a "5% off, this weekend only" sale. I price shop for months on large ticket items. But I'm glad the weekend WORKED FOR YOU. :)
