My Love Affair with Target part II

So in our quest to become real adult people Dr. F and I really wanted a patio set that wasn't a hand-me-down 20 yr old folding card table and mismatched old lawn chairs. However, we also refused to pay a ridiculous amount of money they all seemed to cost; we decided to wait until the middle of summer when things start to go on sale. By coincidence at my aforementioned trip(s) to Target I repeatedly checked the lawn and garden section. By Saturday this table was on clearance down from $325 to $93. It was set up on our patio by 5:30 pm that day :) However, the set of four chairs was still $300. Granted, that was down from $599 but we weren't sold. So yesterday was Dr.F's day off and he went back to Target after checking out Home Depot and Lowes and found that in the course of 2 days the chairs were reduced to $145 for all of them! I got home from work to find these babies gracing our patio
And just like a real adult I brought the cushions in before the skies opened up. Hooray!

*side note: did you know that Lowes doesnt really have end of the season clearance sales because they just pack it all up and store things in the back to bring out next spring? BUT if you check in April at the start of the season, they do mark down last season's discontinued items.

I am so JEALOUS! Every time I see those chairs I drool over them! Y'all should have us over for a bbq sometime:)

P.S. My folks are getting a golden doodle from your (original) neck of the woods...which means we'll be going up there often between now a puppy day. We should rendez-vous:)
