That said, I recently purchased a Restoration Hardware sofa and days later, was alerted to their Friends & Family sale. On a big ticket item, that 20% back can mean hundreds of dollars returned to you! In my case, the only effort required was a quick phone call to customer support. I gave them my order number and in under a minute I was credited back hundreds of dollars. Most retailers have some kind of 30-day policy in place whereby items may be returned, exchanged for store credit, or adjusted if the price drops, etc.
I was able to use that refund from RH to buy a much-needed console to put behind the new sofa and could then reasonably justify the buy.
Nutshell: keep track of what you buy and when it goes on sale, especially now during the pre-holiday period and after!
Price adjustments make it possible to indulge in other much-"needed" goodies. Save on, friends!
