For $120 It Oughta Be A Whole Damn Blanket

I want to say one thing in particular in this post. If someone is charging $120 for something that appears to be a blanket, it ought to be the whole damn blanket. That’s my opinion, but that’s what I wanted to say.

You see, we decided to buy my wife a new blanket this weekend. We went around to a couple of different places and finally my wife found something that she loved. As it turned out, what she found was just a blanket cover. At first, I was enthused. We had other blankets, my wife just wasn’t keen on the pattern. This would cure that and wouldn’t be too expensive. Right?

Wrong. That was the moment she told me it was $120.

$120 was at the high end of the blankets we were looking at. Some of them had been as cheap as $60, and this one didn’t even have any stuffing in it. It was just a cover and a zipper. You still needed a whole blanket to shove inside. You still needed a blanket in addition to the blanket cover for it to work, and it was $120.

Personally, I don’t think that a request for a blanket cover to include a blanket if someone is charging $120 is unreasonable. I think that makes perfect sense.

However, I didn’t have a choice in the matter. My wife loved that blanket cover so I had to buy it. I just kind of feel like I got scammed.
