I have decided to avoid Linens N Things, and possibly even stop going there all together. Bed Bath & Beyond is basically the same exact store, except always nicer and slightly cleaner so why go to both? They sell the same things for the same price… Yet, knowing all this, I went into LNT even though I had intended to only deposit a check at the bank. Instead I end up spending around an hour searching through their clearance bins for new sheets (that I do not need). What I ended up getting were expensive sheets and pillow shams (that I don’t need) and a pretty nice rug (that I don’t need). On top of that I opened a credit account (that I definitely do not need) just to save 20% on items (I do not need) when I could have just gone home, found a 20% coupon, and bought them with that.
So what am I doing tomorrow? Returning the sheets and shams to LNT, the rug I am very tempted to keep, and then seeing if I can go ahead and pay off my credit card so I can cancel it as soon as possible. Then I’m sitting down and making a list of what I actually need for when I move into my apartment. On top of that I think I am going to (finally) take my mom’s advice and start collecting coupons.
Lesson Learned: Impulse buying is the devil. I do not need any more credit cards. Coupons are my friend.
