Jordans + Red Sox win = $400
One of the goodies about getting married is that you get to purchase new furniture for your house...mostly the wife's choice...but occassionally..if you are real lucky, you get to pick a few as well. I got married this Jan (2007)...and coincidentally we purchased from Jordan's when the monster deal was running... If the Red Sox win the world series, we get the furniture for free. After their previous win in 2004, I did not have much of faith, but since we both managed to like some furniture there, we went ahead and purchased $2000+ worth of furniture. And at the time of purchase, we were told about the deal...and that off the $2000, we were eligible for $398.00 worth of refund.
After waiting for about 6+ months, the Red Sox win the world series for the 2nd time in 5 years....Yipee !!!
Now that is almost $400 bucks of free money.
