K and I have been looking for the perfect gray summer suit for me to wear for our wedding for the past couple months and have been getting nowhere. First, we were too early in the season, and no store had gray suits. Then when we tried later, all the gray suits we could find had a thread pattern that K did not find appealing at all. I didn't mind half of them, but this is her day. So I will wear the suit she likes the most. A week ago K finally goes to Men's Warehouse, the store I had told her was our best bet all the long. We hadn't made it there though because my shopping tolerance is about 2 hours and we'd always stop at some other store first and then I'd be too tired to go to Men's Warehouse. But we finally made it a week ago and lo and behold, K immediately finds "the perfect suit" I was ecstatic. Then I noticed the price... $600. And it was the only suit I saw that had no sale tag on it. I was very bummed to say the least. I almost gave up, but K said that to have faith that it would all work out. And as we walked out of the store, no suit in hand and with my thoughts of my money vanishing before my eyes, I tried to remind myself that this was a once in a lifetime event and that "all working out" meant that I get the suit and make K very happy, no matter what the cost.
So I go home and scour my email for any coupon codes in my MW emails that I subscribe to, and I found a 20% off coupon for Memorial Day purchases made online only. So I was a little happy, but I still felt like spending $480 on one suit was a lot. Most my suits were $250 or less... But $480 wasn't THAT bad. So I was happy. So I just waited until today. And I kept faithfully checking my email for an even BETTER coupon. And what do you know? a couple days ago MW announced a buy one get one sale on designer suits! So I did the math and re-read the terms of my 20% of coupon. And nothing said that the coupon only applied to one item or did not apply to on sale items. Now I was getting excited... I thought to myself, "2 suits for the price of 80% of one! what a deal!!!!" I couldn't wait to buy my suit now. I just had to pick another suit. So I decided to maximize my discount and get 2 equally priced suits. And today I bought them both. I am so happy. I get two awesome suits and K gets the suit she really wanted me to get. What an awesome ending. It really did all work out and I am glad that K had the faith and foresight to know that no matter what happened it would all work out!
So without further ado, here are the two suits I bought! ...for the price of 80% of one :)
