Jeffrey and I just happened to walk into Sears yesterday, and I found a blouse I liked on the clearance rack. I'm really trying to get rid of stuff (and not spend money), so I wasn't really planning to buy it - but I really liked it. So I figured I better grab it now while I'm in the store, because I really don't get there very often. I could always return it later...
Then, as we were walking to the cash register, I noticed some signs for the Shop Your Way Rewards program. Oh yeah - we're at Sears! So, when we checked out I had the cashier check my account to see how many points I had. Turns out I had $7.99 in points - which is exactly the cost of my blouse ($7.99 marked down from $80 - who spends $80 on a blouse?)
So, I used those points to buy the blouse, and it cost me exactly $0. That's my kind of deal!
It wasn't until I searched my email later that night that I found this:
So that's why I got a free blouse! I just happened to be in Sears, happened to find a blouse I really liked on the clearance rack, and happened to remember to check my Shop Your Way Rewards account - on a day when these points were valid.
Normally I like to plan my shopping a bit better, but a free blouse is a free blouse!
