**ETA: I ended up NOT getting the tires yesterday. PepBoys deal was a crock of royal crap. They failed to tell WEG on the phone when he called that in order to get the 4th tire free, you have to buy the $200 alignment and road hazard plan. Which ends up meaning that you have to pay $70 dollars more to get the "free" tire than if you just bought 4. Because one tire is $130 so it doesn't really compute- especially when I don't need an alignment and could care less about the road hazard plan- especially if it's going to cost me $200. WEG knows we can find cheaper tires somewhere that includes everything. So, beware- PepBoys is a rip-off!!I have to get new tires this afternoon. Not just 2 new tires...nope, all 4....for an SUV. Um, yes, I have the worst luck with timing. Like I don't have enough to pay for over the next few months with everything that is going on. Now I have to have new tires, as well. Thank goodness PepBoys is offering a mail-in rebate for one free tire when you purchase 3. So, I guess it could be worse.
However, this means I will not be buying any unneccessary items for a while. Just the basics- groceries and gas- in addition to the millions of present I have to buy for various birthdays and events. I guess I will be having to put a stop to my current Hanky Panky buying addiction. I now have enough to last me through the week, so I guess it's as good a time as ever to curb that spending trap!
At least now my car will not shake when I hit 60 mph and I will not be afraid of a blow-out on the interstate due to thread-bare tires.
Don't you just HATE buying tires??? Ugh, it's the PITS!!
ReplyDeleteI forgot to tell you...we got our delicious sushi at Yamatos of all places (behind Harbison mall). They were HUGE pieces, and very good! And I'm a total sushi snob. The sushi chef's name was Britt. At first we were like, um, you are not Japanese - how can you make us good sushi?? haha! :) And then he explained he was half Japanese, and his grandmother taught him. He said he had been making sushi since he was 15 years old. We were impressed! Yummmo.:)
Buying tires is the worst. I feel your pain.
ReplyDeleteBuying tires is the worst! It's so dang expensive! I love the title of this post!
ReplyDeleteUgh!!! Tires can be so expensive and such a drag to buy but what can we do right??? Isn't crazy how the month of May drains our bank accounts so quickly with all the celebrations. Thank goodness they're almost over. :))
ReplyDeleteAs if it isn't bad enough to have to get two tires -- but four?! I have low profile tires and spent $600.00 on two -- so I'm sure the SUV tires aren't that much better! At least you'll be safe now, which is way more important!
ReplyDeleteBuying tires are the worse. They sure do put a big dent in your pocketbook. Hope that you had a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the same boat as you! I have to get four new tires ASAP since we are going out of town this weekend..what poor timing!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to have a big car expense and I am dreading it!
ReplyDeleteOh boo! Good for your car but boring for you.
ReplyDeleteTires = One of my LEAST favorite purchases, but most definitely needed for safety | aka life or death!! ;-) xoxo
