Never be Afraid to Ask the Ridiculous!

Recently I saw a pair of metallic stilettos in a silver and pale gold combination at Williams the Shoeman. I thought they were gorgeous and they were on sale at just $39.99! As I had already spent my clothing allowance for the month, I decided to put them on lay-by with $10.00, knowing that I didn't really need them straight away.

The following week, as I walked past the store, I saw the same style on the half price table! They were down to $19.99! If only I waited an extra week!

Anyway, as I love saving as much as I can when shopping, I asked the sales assistant if it were possible to cancel a lay-by and told her the reason why. She said it was, and gave me my $10.00 back. Still knowing that I didn't need the shoes straight away, and swallowing my pride even more, I asked her whether I could put the same pair back on lay-by. She confirmed that I could! Wow! What a bargain!
