Kitchen Sink Sorrows
We are looking at replacing our kitchen sink and faucet. Our neighbor works at Ferguson, which is a plumbing supply store, so he can get us a deal. We went to their showroom last night, and the second we walked in, I realized that we just walked into kitchen and bathrooms for your dream home....not your HUD home.
I of course, picked out a very lovely kitchen sink. Not the fabulous one right next to it. But pretty basic, two sides, one smaller than they other and a bit shallower, it was nice. The lovely lady helping us flipped thru the BOOK to inform us that I just picked out a ceramic sink at the cost of $1400.00
I'm sorry did she say $1400.00?? No, sorry she said $1485.00, that didn't include the $500 faucet I liked. I don't pay that in my mortgage. AND from the action my sink get's, there is no way in HELL I would put a $1400 sink in my tiny tiny kitchen. We only paid $2000 for ALL of our kitchen appliances, that includes my washer and dryer.
Of course I needed to act like that was nothing. Because obviously, me in my faded capri's from Wal-Mart, wind blown hair, drooling 8 month old in my arms, and the out of control 4 year old in his worn out shorts, and my husband in his warehouse dirtied shirt, can afford that. We are actually hiding our wealth. My PRADA items were at the dry cleaners and my maid forget to get them.
SO my random thought for the day is, if you walk into a store and they have no prices on the items, you are in the wrong place, unless you are worth more than 2 nations put together....RUN
