A funny little story..

Todd and I woke up this morning and drove to Brigham City, and thought, "We haven't been to the DI in a while. Let's stop by and see what they have." As we were wandering through the store I had found a wooden snowman that I can paint and put together for .75 (it still had Walmart's price tag on it for $3.00) Great buy for me. We went over to the glass cases where all the special items are. There were snow globes, music boxes, spoons, Barbie's, and books, all of which are collectibles (Ya, right). Todd and I noticed a little leather book for $150.00 That's right- something was really priced over $20. This book was signed and even had a photo of the author. It was dated 1914. The nice gentlemen did a great job selling this, because Todd and I both left with vision's of money (paying off our house, student loans, getting a new car, anything and everything we ever wanted.) When we got home I put the kids down for a nap while Todd looked up the book on the Internet. He didn't say too much but when he did it didn't sound good. "$8.00." He looked again. This time a different site. "$10.00," nothing that was going to pay off our home. We felt betrayed. The lovely little helper (with the bright orange bike helmet (what were we thinking?)) told us that they looked up the book and it was priced at $250.00. Needless to say, it was overpriced. Long story made short, we got our money back and no longer have the book.

Remember this: Things at the DI can be over price like any other store.
