I’m a bargain hunter. I like a good deal no matter what it
is that I buy. So when we went to look at a new mattress and box spring for my
daughter’s room we started at one of the major mattress stores. I’m always hesitant when I go to buy a big
purchase item like this, because the salesmen are always so pushy. We started at Mega Mattress, which is a store
that is local to the Saratoga area.
They carry all the major brands so it’s really a one stop shop and since
it was Memorial Weekend we were able to get what I thought was a pretty good
deal.

Mike the salesman wasn’t pushy but gave us a lot of
information and options. The deal came
in when he told us about buying a floor sample.
A lot of people might be turned off by buying a floor sample, but as Mike
pointed out, people lay on these mattresses for about 30 seconds; and besides
we could get a plastic protector so she will never actually be lying on the
mattress. The protector will also ensure
that the mattress lasts longer.

The final deal worked out this way:
She wanted a full size bed.
After trying out several she decided on a Trump BeautyRest The best thing about this bed is that not
only does it have individually wrapped coils but it also has a layer of memory
foam. This bed retails for $1080 but
since we were taking the floor sample (because they are changing out mattresses
in the store) we were able to get it for half price, $540. We decided to pick it up ourselves since we
live so close and that saved us the $60 delivery fee. So that actually paid for the plastic sheet
protector. We added in a new bed frame
for $70 making our total after tax $721. Not bad for a luxury bed.

Memorial Day weekend is traditionally the weekend where you
can find great deals on mattresses and furniture. But everything has a good time to buy.

Gym membership: Think
it’s too late to get in shape? Not so,
this time of year might be a great time to get a good deal on a gym membership
while everyone else is working out outdoors you can keep cool in the gym and
maybe save some money at the same time.

Dishware: Since June
is known as “wedding month” it’s also a good month to get good deals on
dishware that would make a nice wedding gift.
