    Default I am the world's worst shopper

    I went to kohls yesterday to spend my $10 bonus card. I took 13 items into the dressing and only came out with 2. Then I wandered through the store just looking and ended up in the purse section. I was looking at all the ones on sale and kept thinking "I can make that" or "I can make one a little bigger than this and it will hold my iPad". I've been known to take pictures of purses and go home and make my own. Anyway, after all their supposedly discounts, really who's going to pay regular price for their stuff when it's always on sale, I came out with a pair of capris and a pair of shorts. I spent app $20 and they said I saved a little over $62. And that's after using my $10 cash card they sent me. Really! Hubby was surprised.

    I am not sure why you think you are the worst shopper. Sounds like you did well! I do not have the patience!

    I agree with you, when you get such good deals it's hard to bring yourself to pay regular prices. Seems like the numbers don't mean a thing.

    My favorite thing to buy at Kohls is their linen spray. It comes in three scents and runs about $10, except when it's on sale (often) and with the $10 cash card. I use it when I iron fabric.

    I shopped at Lane Bryant online last week. Before all the discounts and such my cart total was 379.00. Then I added in my coupon and sale prices my total was 165.00. I ended up with a new pair of jeans, 5 tops, 3 bras and 2 pairs of capris. Then I went
    to Goodwill and found a pair of sandals for 2 bucks!

    Anytime my friend!! My husband will shove both of us in the door of the Goodwill and say enjoy ladies!!
    Then he will demand that we hit Joann's or Hancock's also. So have your Visa card ready.

    Then it will be off to a nice lunch or dinner.

    I only buy what we need or what I want. Just the way I am.

    I have to do the grocery stores but I absolutely hate shopping in any and all Dept. stores-always have. I'd rather go to the dentist. But I can spend a whole day out shopping 2nd hand shops or the Rehab Resource stores -Church and yard sales. The only store my DH had a hard time getting me out of was Menard's.
