The office supply store was advertising a big sale on all of their in stock office supplies for the weekend. I knew that our office was really in need of some office supplies, so I planned on attending and stocking up. The office supply store was very close to the hardware store where I needed to pick up some paint anyway so I mapped out my errands for Saturday and just had to wait for the weekend to arrive.

On Friday night, I just happened to be driving by the office supply store and it looked like they were having a big sale then too. I stopped and when I went in, there were people everywhere. I guess that they had advertised just the Saturday sale in the newspaper and not the Friday sale.

The Friday sale was for thirty percent off of office supplies and the sale that was set for the next day was for thirty five percent. All of these smart customers knew that everything would be gone quickly on Saturday morning so paying an extra five percent was really not that big of deal to them to get what they wanted. I was so glad that I just happened to be driving by and stopped; now it was one less thing to do in the morning.
