Timing, all timing

Had to work Scrubs into this blog somehow. Hmmm, medical student watching a medical comedy, how rare, eh?

We've bought a few things from Circuit City over the years, and using their rewards card, we've accumulated some points that can be traded in for some discount coupons. Considering that the company has been in trouble trying to compete with Best Buy and shrinking margins, I decided to turn in my points for all the coupons I could get. I figured I'll hang on to the coupons for when CC will have their predictable sale that'll follow the release of the newest Scrubs DVD set. I shot for around September/October timeframe. $20 for new set, $20 for back sets, which normally sell for $35-40. CC can't go out of business by then, can it?

Well, this weekend the coupons have arrived, and unfortunately, their expiration date was all too soon: July 9th. OK, the immediate disappointment turned into Obama-like hope that maybe during the summer months' slow sales, there will be some sort of an across-the-board price cut that'll include Scrubs. Realistically, though, I dreaded that I'll have to take what I'll get in the nearest two months.

Looked at CC's flyer for today, and surprise, surprise: all Scrubs collections on sale. Couldn't have asked for a better timing. Yay!
