Mom wanted to go shopping today. She received a $10 off $10 or more coupon for Kohls. She found a necklace to give as a gift that was originally $20 marked down to $13 then used her $10 off making it $3.No photo to go with this.
Next we went to Catherine's store. Mom had another coupon for $15 off a $25 purchase. She would not get something for herself and made me pick out something for myself. I hate being put in that situation. I
like to buy for others not others buying for me especially new stuff!! So I shop around the store looking for the best deal and something practical. I find a jacket that's practical and can be worn days on end unlike a shirt or pants. Yeah it's 1X and I wear about a medium but it's comfy. Catherine's is a store for plus sized women. It's $46.00 see photo above. Then they had a 50% off sale making it $23.00 still not enough to use the $15 off $25 coupon. So we look around for something cheap and found a pair of earrings. They were normally $12.00 marked down to $8.99 then marked down again to $3.99. So the total is now $26.99 minus $15 coupon made it $11.99 for $58 worth of stuff!!I still cringe that a jacket and earrings were bought for $12 but what can you do when mom's paying and using coupons, sales and markdowns? She still did really good on new items!
My head was spinning shopping in these stores and seeing prices that were ridiculous! So after mom got done with her shopping spree I wanted to head to the thrift store so I could feel better, lol. No actually I needed to get the kids some more Winter clothes not that it is getting colder out. People are crazy to buy kids clothes new when they outgrow them sooo fast and when you have boys they are so rough on their clothes with stains and tears! I mend and hem the clothes until there is no more life left in them.
