Thanks, J.C.

No, this is not about THAT J.C.

I got a $15 off Birthday coupon from J.C. Penney the other day. Gee, I wonder what I should buy with it?

Wait a minute! On the back of the coupon are certain "exclusions" that J.C. wants me to know about.

Let's see, I can use this coupon for ANYTHING, except jewelry, cosmetics, fragrances, cookware, cutlery, gadgets, floor care, furniture, mattresses, personal care appliances, small appliances, electronics, Clarks, Columbia, Easy Spirit, Hunter Douglas, Levi's, Nike, catalog/internet and outlet stores, salon products, services, or gift cards.

Hmmm. I guess I won't be using it to buy that bejeweled-electric-scented-copper bottom- Nike bedroom set with built-in knife sharpener and carving set I've been wanting. Dang it. Maybe next year!
