Chances

So I went to Zellers last Thursday and it was their last day of the BOGO 1/2 price for Ben 10 toys. Their price for the specific item I'm looking for is $20 (Cad MSRP). Chapters have the same item for $15. I guess this is the US MSRP. However, it is only available online and is currently OOS. So I thought it's good to get 2 for like $15 each. The next day, Chapters have the item available. They have a $5-off online coupon plus free shipping for purchases $25 and up.

Part 2

There is this short that I wanted to give to my wife. AE has it on sale for $20 plus additional 30%-off (clearance sale), plus additional 20%-off for purchasing it via their iPod app. To get free shipping I added a cheap but nice looking tshirt for my son, which I don't really need to buy but it is $4.50 and without it the shipping is $7. The next day AE has a free shipping promo.

Conclusion

When I think if it, my decisions are not that bad at all. However, and yes, good things come to those who wait. But how does one play the waiting game? At some point, as someone says, you have to pull the trigger.
