lol that is hilarious! But what a great deal! lol I really really want a foodsaver(sealer) I put on the registry.. I'm hoping I can wait. I'm ssoo tempted to just buy it. haha
I bought a couple small things I couldnt wait for. But that is a great deal!
haha sweet, thanks for making me feel better, guys! I gelt guilty having a $400 comforter on there anyway! :)
Shoot, if anything it will motivate people to hurry up and shop for you for fear everything will get snatched up off your registry! Plus, they won't know it was you who bought it! :)
My husband had put a power tool on the registry that he mentioned would have been useful for some work that he was doing in our basement (insulating the walls). His birthday was coming up, so I bought it off the registry for him.
There are some things that we seriously need (like pot holders and a veggie peeler) that are currently on our registry. I don't know if I can wait 8 more months for those things, so I might go ahead and buy them. But I will probably get them from Home Goods or somewhere cheap and then just take the other items off the registry. Although a $5 veggie peeler is on a totally different level than a $400 comforter.
I think you did the right thing by buying the comforter. Are you going to use it right away or wait until after the wedding?
if it's that much on sale there's a good chance it might be gone soon, so if you're attached to it, i think it was smart to go ahead and get it. i have a million things i'd like to have right now, like everything in the kitchen needed for cooking and baking, but i really don't want to spend the money so i'm just improvising or borrowing stuff for now.
I think that's a smart move. For me, setting up a registry made me want things on it so much more quickly! I bought a few things off the registry before they could be gifted to me. Like artbee says, store stock can change so chances are if you want it, it's best you got it yourself.
LOL I love it - a deals a deal right!
I bought a toaster with the incentive money we got after registering - it made me soooo happy I really needed a new one
the comforter is on sale about 50% of the time for around $200 (the price when we registered for it), but yesterday was a mega sale, so I went for it!
Jacqui - we're gonna save it :)
That's too funny. Maybe that will motivate other folks to buy things from the registry, too. I didn't buy anything until after the wedding, but we bought most of the stuff that was left over.
With something that is 'such a deal' like that, a $400 item for $150? Definitely go for it. I think the lower priced items, I'd leave alone but the higher ticket items like that... or an expensive KitchenAid mixer, go ahead and buy it.

No one is going to know YOU bought it unless you start telling people. Even then - you can always use a new blanket on the bed!
Is it down? I am SO in love with my down comforter... I have no idea how much it was, but I use it EVERY night. It's so WARM!
you caught me! we registered early bc my family is crazy and was hounding me about it! now i can see when our items are about to be discontinued. so far i've run over to crate and barrel and got our fondue plates (on sale, which was nice) and a frame which was part of a set!
We bought a few things after the shower - before the wedding (some luggage, some basics). We didn't before the shower, but I would have if the deal was right : )
At the rate we are going, we are going to have bought most of this ourselves before the wedding! Since Waterford has been in a receivership and is not making any new crystal stemware, my mom went out and bought a full set of 12 of the water, wine, and flutes (we are just going to register for the iced tea).
I have found that ruelala.com has Henckles knives on there and I bought a $750 set for $200 with no tax so that was completed. Every time I see my mom she buys something new off of the registry. I find it to be funny, but I think this is totally normal.
Watch out--it can be reallllly addicting! If you look around, a lot of things on your registry can be found for much less.
I ruined our registry by buying all of our dishes, bedding, pots & pans, and everything else kitchen.
You've got to love a good deal :)

I agree you have to love a good deal- too bad someone can't remove something off the registry if THEY find it cheaper someplace else.
We haven't I'm hoping most it will be purchased, even with good deals right now, we're on such a tight budget we'd rather wait.
Every time I check to see what has been purchased, I am tempted to buy something. I am pretty sure I will eventually cave.
I'm such a dork. I just bought the sugar bowl and creamer that goes with my casual dishes from Pottery Barn. Its not available for purchase online, so I think its unlikely someone would have bought it, so I just caved when I was at the mall the other day. My FI egged me on though, so we called it an early wedding gift to ourselves =)
I'm tempted to do this too, worry not. I registered for a featherbed insert and I know no one is going to buy it, so I'd like to get it on sale too. Ha.
I know this is super old, but I wanted to search if anyone else was doing this besides me! Macy's is having a KILLER one day sale today, and my china is only $50. I *might* just have to buy one set, so at least I get one placesetting!
Oh, and I too bought our $350 King Comforter set off our registry when it went down to $99 six months ago. Glad I did as it's out of stock now!
Yup totally going to do this. We're at bed bath and beyond and I registered for these memory foam rugs for the bathroom. ours is tiny, and I want the big one. So I'll probably end up picking up a few things here and there with %20 off coupons they do!
We registered for an item that I REALLY wanted, and then it went out of stock and after a month, it was still out of stock. I checked at some other stores that carried it and they also no longer had it. I finally found a store that did, so I went ahead and bought it.
I also bought some of the towels we registered for because they weren't available in-store and I wanted to make sure we liked the color/texture in person before stocking both bathrooms with them.
No shame in finding a good deal. I actually did the same with some throw pillows I wanted...they were 75% off!
I purchased our sheets off of our registry, we needed another set for our new bed so I went ahead and bought them. I also bought our cake cutting set because it said it was being discontinued and my FMIL already bought the matching toasting flutes. I have been very tempted to purchase other stuff.
I am glad to hear other people did this! When I was buying a gift for a bridal shower, I really wanted our microplane grater because of the color. They were discontinuing it. I'm also considering buying our pillow shams. They're getting harder to find. If you find a good deal, I say go for it!

Hi Ladies!!
So, Macy's is having a killer sale today, plus I had a rewards bonus card, so I just bought our comforter (originally $400) for $150! I know this is probably wrong considering my shower isn't for 2 months, but I couldn't pass it up.
Am I the only one who has bought things off her registry pre-shower? haha
