shopping on-line

There is a true art to shopping on-line. If you are smart about it you can save hundreds of dollars. I know this is a fact because I just did it!
Pottery Barn is having a huge sale on duvet covers and bed linens. I was a little bothered by the sale because the duvet cover and shams I ordered last week have already had a price decrease ... and they haven't arrived yet. Fortunately I called Pottery Barn and they instantly refunded the difference (and just so you know, as long as you call within 30 days of your order then you will get a refund).
I spent a lot of time on the PB website and found some amazing deals. The Pic-Stitch Quilt and Shams (which are pictured above) are on sale but the ones in the Sandalwood color are 50% lower than the sale price. I am not sure why but what a great bargain!
Once I had filled my shopping cart with four duvet covers, three quilts and a ton of pillow shams I opened up a new browser window, went to ebay and bought a 15% off coupon for $2.99. (All you need to do is make sure the coupon is valid on sale items.) Within a few minutes the code for the coupon was emailed to me and it reduced my ENTIRE ORDER by 15%. Amazing. 
The three items pictured above almost complete my bedding needs. I still need to purchase my favorite sheets in the entire world (and they are a deal too) and I need to figure out the bedding for the two twin sized trundels, which is four more beds. Ugh!
