That's right - back to the red and white. Did I go back to try to get even more money out of them? That's what it started out to be. Cory and I found an even lower price and we were going back to match it. Right when we were about to go, I had a heart to heart with myself. I questioned my priorities, and realized that I have rather foolishly been spending money on myself ever since I got here. Money that was better spent on other things. Things like food... weekly entertainment... a GIRLFRIEND... What was I thinking?
So I went back, this time not with a heavy foot prepared for stomping like the last time, but with a heavy box. A 70 pound box. That was 3' x 2'... remember that box? That's right - I went to return my speakers.
It wasn't a tough decision, really. Not once I set everything out in front of me and re-evaluated my priorities. I thought to myself - what would make me happier - a kickin' sound system, or the look on Beth's face the next time I bought her something. It was a no brainer, and I got my money back.
Let this be a lesson to you all - never buy something so expensive on a whim. Go home, stew it over. You'll realize that the money is (probably) better spent elsewhere. At least, that's the lesson I learned today.
So I didn't beat Futureshop. But then again, Futureshop didn't beat me either.
Besides, I may be making a trip back sometime... maybe with some christmas money in hand.
Until next time.......
