Rug on Carpet = Awesome

Story:

Me, while casually looking at IKEA's website: Hey check this rug out. I'm thinking bedroom.

Jeff: I love it

Me: We both love it??? We have to buy it.

Jeff: But it's at IKEA

Me: Well we're going to Seattle bc of Ben's wedding next weekend anyway.

Jeff: Good point

10 days later:

So we get to IKEA 2 amazing things happen: we find a new shortcut and we save 60 bucks. When we found the rug in the rug section, the tag said is was $450, 50 bucks cheaper than what the website said. Score! So we hightailed it to the register, only to have it ring up as $500. So we asked a sales lady and she looked it up and it was $500 in the computer, but she said if we got a manager to verify, then they would honor it. So then we hightailed it back (bypassing the furniture warehouse through the newly told-about shortcut), flagged down another sales lady (who was really nice and awesome) and WHAM! $60 OFF!!!

So we are now the new owner of an awesome IKEA rug. And it lives in the bedroom, even though the bedroom already has carpet. But that's how much we like it. And now Jeff is determined to not put furniture on top of the rug so it "doesn't get those furniture indents"So, us being nerds, we added it to the apartment app (jeffquery.com/apt) and figured out a way. I took it to the next nerd level by actually using a screenshot from the IKEA site.
