Wedding discount

When the memory of relatives doing the chicken dance fades, when the top tier of your wedding cake is safely stashed in its frozen coffin, and when all three of your new toasters have been unwrapped, it's time to think about the unthinkable. Buying more stuff.

You probably have everything you need and more than you wanted to start your new married life, but remember that many department stores offer 10% of any un-purchased items left on your wedding registry. Macy's gives you a year to take advantage of the sale. Bloomingdales gives 6 months. Crate and Barrel gives you 6 months but requires you to do it all at once.

Maybe you really DO need that 11th and 12th dinner plate setting...
