Macy’s Super Sale + 20% Off = Alternative Down

I just returned from Macy’s where they had a HUGE HUGE sale, and I was one happy benefactor — someone gave me a 20% off coupon while I stood in line, which brought the price down even more!

Today was the first time I shopped for “alternative down”, and while there was another lady there who was poo-pooing the alternative down and saying IT MUST BE 100% DOWN! – I was trying each and every alternative down pillow that I could lay my head on. My husband grabbed the first pillow he found, *eye roll* he never takes his pillows seriously. I’m much more choosy, and seeing as I needed to replace four pillows, I was able to mix it up a little bit and get one of each.

I also found a down alternative comforter, and it was about 60% off the full price by the time the sale and the coupon took effect. The pillows were a steal too. The lady who needed the down pillow paid $116 for one pillow, while I paid nearly twice that for a queen sized comforter and five pillows. Maybe six. I lost count.

We’ll see how it goes tonight. Will I be like the princess and the pea and toss and turn all night long? I have no idea.
