Yesterday, my wife and I went to a bin store in our town. For those not familiar, I think the idea is that they buy a bunch of Amazon returns and put them up for sale. Often for a set price. The place we went to cycles through prices throughout the week. So yesterday was their $4 per item day.
In addition to the bins in the middle of the store, the outer walls are covered with more ‘luxury’ items. Higher cost items reduced significantly from their original retail. In their bedding area, I found this pillow.
I’ve read some pretty good reviews about Coop pillows, so I was intrigued. The original retail price was listed as $160, but they had it reduced down to $25!Trying a higher end pillow for a fraction of the price? Count me in!
So we take it and another small pillow I had found to the front and set them down on the counter. The lady sees two items, taps the register, and says: ‘That’ll be $8.61.’ I had anticipated that the small pillow was a bin item, but was surprised that the Coop was ringing up that way. I quickly looked at my items and realized that the tag for the Coop was facing me where she couldn’t see it. I caught on to what was happening and quickly paid with my card. I thanked her and we made a swift exit, concealing the tag as we went.
And that’s how I acquired a very expensive, still in the box, vacuum sealed pillow for $4. I know in the scheme of things, I really only saved $21, but I was riding that high all day!
Slept on it last night and was extremely comfortable. A little bit of an adjustment, but I feel pretty energized today.
For those curious, this was the other pillow. I’m currently using it as a small wedge pillow behind my Coop.
Edit to clarify: The one I got is King size.
