My mom likes to get a deal! She is not content 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 current Heating, Ventilation, and A/C system in her house, she did a lot of comparison shopping. She inspected online for deals and coupons, called dealers to see what specials they had, and 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, Ventilation, and A/C business to have a representative come to the house. I felt disappointing for him in a way, because I knew mom was armed with her list of deals and she would want as numerous of them as she could get. They reviewed all the possibilities and when they finished with the recommendations, the deal making began. Mom pulled out her list of offers and was surprised to learn that our Heating, Ventilation, and A/C business could price match what she had found. They even said that they would be glad to file for the rebates for her. She was speechless, and that doesn’t happen often. She was prepared for a battle that never even happened. She knew that she had been given a unbelievable deal right off the bat and was somewhat deflated at the fact that she couldn’t use her arsenal of tricks. In any case, she has a current system now and is saving even more currency on her yearly bills. She entirely hit the jackpot on this one.
