I simply have no self-control. Although, now that I think about it, that's not entirely true. I wanted to buy more, and no breeches were added to the pile, so I suppose it could be said that I at least showed a modicum of restraint.  They know how to work me. On Monday, this sales ad hit my email's inbox. Apparently, there's this thing called SmartPerks for shoppers who have a SmartPak on AutoShip. I haven't needed a SmartPak in quite some time, so I have been blissfully unaware of this extra 10% savings when a SmartPak item is ordered.  Uh ... yeah ... sign me up! Now that Izzy is getting Quiessence every morning, I have become eligible for special perks. And guess what? Just days after receiving Izzy's convenient Quiessence wells, I got an offer for a double perk - 20% off SmartPak tack and apparel. I didn't make it past 5:15 a.m.
So I rounded out my collection of Piper T-shirts by getting the blue one, and then I ordered a second set of each color for non-barn wear. That makes eight t-shirts in two weeks. Lordy. However ... they were super cheap, I needed some new summer riding shirts, and I needed some easy pack/easy wear shirts for our upcoming trip to Portugal. Oh, and I got another 5% off from my USEF membership. How could I pass up a deal like that? I use to be a SmartPak purchaser years ago but their fear-mongering tactics and unscientific claims on supplements have really put a bad taste in my mouth so I buy from other retailers. However, I do like their feedback and rating systems and its smart they are having their own products designed.

The real question is, why did you not buy more? ;) Comments are closed.
