The home theater installation bill came in the mail today and I was dreading opening it. I knew that my husband had given the okay to do some upgrades from our original plans. The original estimate was about two hundred dollars more than what I considered to be reasonable but now I was expecting it to be about five to six hundred dollars more than the first estimate.

I opened the bill to find that they had given us a twenty percent discount and the price was one hundred dollars less than our estimated price. My husband had referred four other people to this company while they were working on our house, so they give you five percent off for each client you send their way.

The other people had signed up with them to do some home audio installation in their homes. I was so glad to see that because my husband went around bragging about his home theater, other people decided to use the same company for their home audio installation needs.

We could have afforded more upgrades, if I had known about their referral program; instead I have been sick about getting the bill for the home theater installation.
