Bed of Roses

So I came upon our first awesome steal of what I hope is many while we're buying things for the new house. I went to meet my Mom and a friend to help them move something that they bought at a Home Decor place. After looking around the place, they asked if I wanted to run over to Bed, Bath, and Beyond with them before I went back home. I'm very glad that I did.

In addition to my Mom buying us an awesome Woodwick Candle, she also spotted something on the clearance rack -- that being the above King size Bedding set. I told her that we didn't really need a new bedding set, since ours was only about 1.5 years old, but I let her go ahead and check the clearance price anyway. Fully expecting to see at least 150 bucks, we were all a little blown away by what we saw:

Yes, that says "Was: 24.99....Now: 12.98". I was a little worried, because it was supposedly a Display model, and was listed "as is". But hell, it was 13 bucks, so even if I got it home and it had a big hole in it, it wouldn't be that big of a deal. My mom's friend Sue actually ended up buying it for me to thank me for coming and helping them with the artwork, so it was really a win/win for me. We all held our breath as we went to the check out, but sure enough, the clerk simply punched in the 12.98 price tag, and we were on our way (after the alarm went off because she forgot to remove the zipper lock on the bag. I was worried we were gonna lose it there.)

So I get it home, unpack it, and it looks perfect, aside from being wrinkly due to being bundled into a plastic wrapper for who knows how long. From the way it was packaged and folded, I really don't even think this was a floor model. Anyway, being the interested and savvy googler that I am, I typed in the full name of the bedding set to try and find out why it was so cheap. The first hit I got was for the Bed, Bath, and Beyond website. It looks like somebody messed up, just a little bit:
