My mom enjoys to get a deal! She is not satisfied if she doesn’t get at least 10 percent off of whatever purchase she is making.
- She thinks that paying full price ranks right up there with a Cardinal Sin.
For this reason, when it came time to install a new Heating & A/C system in her house, she did a lot of comparison shopping. She checked online for deals & coupons, called dealers to see what specials they had, & even contacted some of the manufactures to see if they had any rebate offers she could use. After compiling a list, she felt she was ready to make a deal. She called our local Heating & A/C supplier to have a representative come to the house. I felt bad for him in a way, because I knew mom was armed with her list of deals & she would want as several of them as she could get. They reviewed all the chances & when they finished with the recommendations, the deal making began. Mom pulled out her list of offers & was surprised to learn that our Heating & A/C supplier could price match what she had found. They even said that they would be cheerful to file for the rebates for her. She was speechless, & that doesn’t happen often. She was prepared for a battle that never even happened. She knew that she had been given a great deal right off the bat & was somewhat deflated at the fact that she couldn’t use her arsenal of tricks. In any case, she has a new system now & is saving even more currency on her energy costs. She undoubtedly hit the jackpot on this one.
