sorry target, i win...

SO, wesley has been begging for a cowboy hat for some time now.  i kept putting it off wondering if the phase would pass.  seems that it hasn't.  today i finally gave in and said we could get one.  while wandering around target, i couldn't find anything.  i tried the toy section, the mens apparel, little boys area and finally i made my way to accessories. lo and behold, a cowboy hat.  for women mind you, but a hat none the less.  wesley's excitement grew and i checked the price.  $12.99.  ouch.  that's an awful lot of money for a something that will most likely get destroyed sooner rather than later.  i went to take it back and i noticed the price on the shelf read $3.24.  what?  i looked at what it said "tan cowboy hat".  yes, that's what i had.  the skew number matched and i thought "fantastic, i'll get it if it's for three bucks."  

i went to check out and of course it rang up at $12.99.  after explaining about the sign and even showing the manager, lucky me got it for the whopping three bucks and change.  NICE.  i love when stores make mistakes.
