Ahhh, interesting point about Tempurpedic. Bummer that you can’t get a discount. You’re right – gotta love Costco, especially the return policy.

I chuckled when I read your last comment…if only you knew how many deals my husband and I have worked over the years on different purchases. Funny thing is that he considers himself the financially conservative one, having spent a long career in corporate banking, and he thinks he’s always driving a tough deal yet, more often than not, I have to be the voice of reason in most big negotiations. When we get into the negotiations, I feel like I’m the one who can walk away if the price isn’t right no matter how much I want it, but he gets antsy and just wants it all to be over and to get the deal done, at almost any price (this has happened with houses, cars and now beds)! I can’t even call him on it because he’s so sensitive about it, but it does make me a little crazy to see him leave money on the table. 😉

Hope your back pain gets resolved soon. Take good care.
