Monday, my husband called me at work and told me that he wasn't feeling well, and asked me to stop and pick up some cold medicine on the way home. I immediately knew that I was going to stop by Family Dollar. Now I REALLY had a reason to go. LOL! So I went to Family Dollar, and somehow Movin On Kenya found her way into my arms (truth be told, she landed there before the cold medicine did). I was quite content with my purchase, until Tuesday when I read this post on the BDC - Dolls for Sale blog. Why be content with having 1 doll for $20, when I could be even more content with having 2 dolls for $26?
I called Family Dollar on Wednesday and asked if I could bring my doll back in order to take advantage of Thursday's sale. The person that I spoke with said that I could bring it back that day, and then come back on Thursday and get the deal. I told her that my concern with that was that someone might purchase my doll before I got a chance to come back for her. "Mmmmm hmmmmmm" was all that she said. Well, I wasn't going to do that.
So bright and early on Thursday morning, I packed up my Kenya doll with receipt and headed to Family Dollar. I asked if I could return my doll and get the Buy One Get One for 70% Off deal. The cashier told me "No, I'm not going to do that today." So I headed back to my car and sat there for a minute, contemplating whether or not I wanted to go back in and get 2 more dolls. I quickly decided that no, that particular store would never see another dime of my money (a bit dramatic, I know). I drove to the next nearest Family Dollar, asked the same thing, and they told me yes. So I was able to return my doll, buy her right back, along with another Kenya - Beverly Hills.
So which doll should I open first?
Congratulations on getting them. I purchased the one above in the leopard attire and "Fireside Chattin" dressed in red and white attire. This was the best deal of all especially since I wanted a couple of them.
ReplyDeleteThank you Georgia Girl, and congratulations on your purchases!
DeleteCongratulations on getting them. That first store would not see another penny of my money either. I would like those two also ;-D
ReplyDeleteThanks D7ana! I had a hard time choosing between these two and the one with the guitar..
DeleteCongratulations on getting 2 for $26. I'm sorry the original store was noncompliant with the return but happy the other store was.
ReplyDeleteSince I have deboxed Movin On, I vote for Beverly Hills being deboxed first.
I went to 3 Family Dollar stores yesterday. I purchased 2 for $26, too at the first store. I will update my blog with the two I purchased soon.

DeleteMy local stores didn't have the sale :O( But I'm glad some were able to take advantage of the sale
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dollz4Moi! Maybe the stores near you will have a big sale before Christmas.
DeleteGlad that you were able to get the sale.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Male Doll World!
DeleteCongrats! The Moving On doll looks just like a young lady I know.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Vanessa!
DeleteOpen the Moving On one, I want to see that magnificent afro!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, I want to see her afro too! They are still both in the box, but I think that I will open one for Christmas.
