I think this group is going to help me stay on track and use up what I have. In every other area of my life, I'm frugal....just have a passion for fabric, quilting, etc.
I went to the podiatrist yesterday (maybe gout) and they took a look at my tennis shoes and the Doctor told me to go get measured today and get a new pair of shoes today! I did and the shoes fit wonderfully.......the nice lady took my "old" shoes and said she'd recycle them to the homeless group. So, they will be used. BUT, I almost vomited when she told me the new shoes were $150.00! ! ! ! Do you know how much fabric that could buy? Especially if you can find clearance for $5.00/yard? ! ! ! ! Oh my..........
So, today I learned to spend $$$ on other things you need. But in keeping with my thrifty ways, I told her I usually buy my shoes at Shoes on a Shoestring (outlet store)......so she said she'd give me a list of the "correct" shoes for me and offered to have me come by and she'd verify they are correct fit. But, after my bout with the foot problems....I am definitely willing to spend good money on my feet! ! ! !
Everyone, have a great week...if you are in snowy weather.....stay inside and warm.....if not......enjoy your weather!
