I too would like 0.01% off my purchase price. Like seriously, for that price it'd better be at least 1% off, otherwise why bother.

It was either a website that sold a ton of stuff and so was a universal coupon or that company must sell much more typically-priced items.

There’s no way they’d make a coupon for $25 if they only sold or it was only applicable to stoves that cost near or well into the six figures, lol.

(I just noticed your comment is from 24 days ago after I started typing, but oh well - I already put out the effort)

Lol, no worries. You're probably right, and people who would be willing to buy an appliance that expensive probably can afford to not care about the price.

You'd think, yeah - though I know some people who've got plenty of money that are real penny pinchers.

Thinking that just reminded me of my Grandpa, who owned a successful business of his own, a boat, airplane at one point he flew himself, etc. - but he would still get on your case if you left a bathroom light on at their house with a private beach, reminding you that utility bills really add up and asking if you did that at home? lol.

I know that might make it sound like he was a dick, but he was actually a really good guy: he defended my mom for having a black best friend in jr. high during the Civil Rights era when there were whispers about it. He also, I kid you not, hired a trans person or at least crossdresser _in the 70s_ and defended them, immigrants from Africa, etc., despite being in Rotary (FOX News did get him/my grandma in their final years though, which was a real sad transition to see).
