its not what you know...

its WHO you know... isnt that what they say??

this has been proven twice this weekend, Jase and I went shopping for vinal for our floors, found a nice slate look one at a ticketed price of $70 per metre, our mate who is putting the floor covering down for us came with us, he is also good mates with the salesman, we were needing 13 metres of said vinal which came to $1000, Jase asked about the cash sale price, this is usually 10% discount, but the salesman takes out his calculator, runs a few sums and says 13metres, how about $500 guys?!!! I could barely contain my excitement at such a huge saving! half price! gotta love it!

later that arvo we were awaiting a plumber as we've been getting a few quotes on replacing an existing toilet, we were looking at between $300 and $400, so the plumber turns up and turns out he's a mate of my dads, $120 to install the new toilet! woot!!

in between these 2 instances Jase went to purchase some new brake pads for his car, first place was $320, 2nd place said $260, 3rd place he went to price them... $96!

ohh i do love a bargain!
