If you never had to eat crow then you lived one boring life.
Macy's is having a Presidents day sale with some China sets (service for 8 ) marked down to $200. You can then use the Promo Code pres to get the price to $169.99 before tax with free shipping. If you're able to get a gift card that Dan just posted you could potentially bring the price down another 14%. Not a bad price for a new china set shipped to your door. Not sure what the return policy is for breakage.Macy's Links:http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/charter-club-dinnerware-grand-buffet-platinum-40-piece-set?ID=758517&CategoryID=53630&RVI=PDP_2http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/mikasa-parchment-40-piece-set?ID=381845&CategoryID=53630&LinkType=PDPZ1http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/mikasa-platinum-crown-40-piece-set?ID=381847&CategoryID=53630&LinkType=PDPZ1
"I want to go to china for pesach" is what i was thinking
apparently Mikasa usually has the parchment set for $150 with free shipping. So its not that great of a deal on that set.
