When I decide to buy something I always do my research before jumping in and making a purchase. Tonight's find, decorative pillows. I knew what I was looking for, but having never really put much thought into buying things for my house, I needed to do some research. I'm on a budget and really can't (won't) spend more than a few dollars on a luxury like a pillow. With that being said, I also don't want to buy something cheap that is going to fall apart because that would be wasting money. Basically, I want to be cheap without looking cheap.
I looked at big department stores, linen stores, ebay, and Amazon. Department stores $20-50, linen stores, ebay and Amazon as low as $15. I was ready to resign myself to this price and give up on my quest until I had more stamina to look further, and then IKEA came to mind. There is one near my parents' house, so it isn't an out of the way trip to go when I visit my parents.
Bingo, $3.99 for a 20x20 pillow at IKEA. Patience pays off. When I am hunting for a bargain online I always have a specific idea in mind and I have time to spend researching it. With 6 kids, I don't get a lot of time to look for these types of deals. Now that I know where to get them, I am excited to go get them in the near future.
