Our Macy’s Haul

Bird and I went to Macy’s last night to buy a few things that were left on our registry and to take advantage of a 20% off deal for anything on the “home level” of the store.

Here’s what we bought:

• Le Creuset Cookware – Original price: $245.99.  After coupon: $203.99  (We got the one on the top left)

• Wusthof Steak Knives – Original price: $79.99.  After coupon:  $63.99

• Pillow 1 – Original price: $34.  On sale for $16.99.  After coupon:  $13.59
• Pillow 2 – Original price: $34.  On sale for $16.99.  After coupon:  $13.59
• Pillow 3 – Original price: $34.  On sale for $16.99.  After coupon:  $13.59
• Pillow 4 – Original price: $60.  On sale for $29.99.  After coupon:  $23.99

And that’s all we got!  We did a pretty good job of limiting ourselves because actually, there wasn’t all that much more that we wanted/needed.

Our total with tax came to: $356.95.  We saved $83.20 with our 20% off coupon and we saved $164.24 overall.  We used a gift card for the whole purchase and we still have a couple hundred bucks on gift cards to spend, but I think we are done with home stuff at Macy’s and will spend the rest of the gift cards on clothes and/or presents for others.

The funniest part of the night was shopping for pillows.  Neither of us has ever shopped for pillows before in our lives so we didn’t really know what we were looking for.  We basically decided to go middle of the road, nothing too cheap, nothing too spendy.  We just read the labels that said good for stomach sleepers (Bird) or good for side sleepers (me) and trusted the manufacturers.  I don’t know about Bird, but I slept pretty well on my new pillow last night!

There were only 2 sets of Wusthof steak knives available at Macy’s.  One was this presentation set pictured above and one was a set of 6 that came in a wood block.  We ended up opting for the presentation set because we didn’t want another knife block cluttering up our counters and this way we could store it in a cupboard or drawer.  However, upon arriving home, we noticed that the knife block we already have has 6 slots for steak knives.  So we are going to return this set we just bought and buy the set of 6 that comes with a block and just incorporate them into our current block.
