I thought it would be fun to start this thread! This serendipity event just happened to me this past Tuesday, on August 3. It’s a long story so bear with me. Back in April of this year, I was at TJ Maxx. This TJ Maxx was located in the A section of town. I saw these beautiful Roberto Coin earrings! A quick google search revealed that they normally sell for $2950 (see below) plus tax
and TJ Maxx was selling them for $899.00 (white ticket) but they were on sale for $790.00 plus tax (red ticket). So I thought, ok, that is a good deal! So I bought them. And folks, I LOVED those earrings! I would always admire them and pet them but I never got the chance to wear them because we were going out of town a lot and I had placed my jewelry in the bank. Regardless, I loved those earrings! Well, guess what happened? We had a major home Reno project coming up and I had already bought too much stuff and I was like, you know what, I am going to return those earrings. I didn’t want to but I wanted to save every single penny we had for the Reno. Tbt price tag was still on the RC earrings and I never wore them and I had the receipt and it was within the return policy time frame. So, I will never forget the day, it was on a cloudy, gloomy day. Sunday, May 23, I purposely went to a TJ Maxx at location B to return the earrings. Now location B is in the well to do area of my city. And I went there to return the earrings at that particular location on purpose. I wanted to make sure that those earrings will be sold so that I will not be tempted to buy them again! Well, after I returned the earrings, I would go to that TJ Maxx at that location every now and then to just poke around and guess what? The earrings were not there, which meant they had been sold. Good! That is what I wanted! But this story is not over! Ever since I returned those earrings, I felt bad. I kept telling myself, you should have kept those earrings. They were gorgeous earrings and you will never find earrings at that price again. Ya’ll, up until Monday, august 2, I was still feeling this way! And mind you, I have other RC earrings along with Gucci plus custom made earrings so I kept telling myself, get over it. Come on now! You have other diamond earrings to wear! Snap out of it! Well, the story is not over! After May 23, I would go to other TJ Maxx stores and look at their jewelry department. I would go to the TJ Maxx at location C of town because this TJ Maxx is in the bougie part of town and I wanted to see if they had any designer items in their jewelry department, similar to the RC earrings. See i told you I was not over those earrings! I was even tempted to buy the earrings full price through a jewelry store! That’s how much I loved those earrings. On Tuesday, August 3, i went to a gym class in the morning. I needed to buy some leggings because I ran out so I thought, well, after my gym class, I will go to the tj maxx that is close to the gym (location C) to buy leggings. Now y’all, I don’t like going out in public after I go to the gym. I like to go straight home and shower but for some reason, on Tuesday, august 3, I went to the TJ Maxx at location C. Again, this TJ Maxx is located at the most bougie part of the city but I knew TJ Maxx had a major clearance event going on so I thought I would find a good deal on leggings. Well, I was at that TJ Maxx just this past Tuesday and for some unknown reason, I landed in the jewelry department when I should have been in the active wear department and what do you think I saw?! You guessed it! The RC earrings! After 9 weeks, they reappeared at this TJ Maxx! Plus, they were marked down to $499!! Omg! The sales associate told me those earrings were just marked down to $499 on Monday, august 3! As you can imagine, I snatched them up, paid for them, removed the price tag, put them on my ears, and they have never been off since Tuesday, August 3. Some things are just meant to be!
