Sunday Shopping Bliss!

I know it's Tuesday already and here I am blogging about Sunday, a WHOLE TWO DAYS AGO!!! I know, I know. I'm behind. But I have a good excuse, I promise. I was going to post this yesterday, but as you know I received my very first award from Joy so that definitely got pushed to #1 blogging material over this. So now Tuesday, here you go... All about our Sunday Shopping Bliss!

So Sunday morning while we're having breakfast, I get a call from my big sis. Her sweet self is calling to remind me about those $25 too-bucks from LimitedToo she had given me over a month ago. They expire today so be sure to use them.

Arghhhhhh! What?!?!?

Yes, those (2) $25 too-bucks I gave you. You told me you'd use them, or else I would have kept them to use them myself. So go use them. Bye!

Again, ugggghhhhhh! Do you not KNOW I cannot be spending any $$$ right now???

So of course, hubby being the nosy hubby that he is asked what my big sis wanted. So I explained how she gave me those coupons. Basically, I pick up $50 worth of merchandise and only pay $25. Since I had 2 I could pick up $100 and only pay $50... Pretty awesome deal! Plus, my girlies LOOOOOVE Limited Too, but it's just too expensive sometimes! So I told him how I was just gonna let them expire 'cause I knew I shouldn't be spending $$$ right now... and guess what he said?!?!?

You should go.

What?!?!

Really, you should go. Take the girls, let them pick something up. As long as you dont get more than $50 worth that you have to pay for. ( ha! have you ever been to l2? Pick up 1 shirt and socks and there goes your fifty, lol)





So anyways, Hubby had basically given us the green light to go Shopping. Woo Hoo !!!... Malls, get ready! Here we come!

So my choices were amongst 3 malls.
1) The closest one to me (easiest although I don't really like to go to that one)
2) My favorite which has lots of the stores I like, but a little bit farther.
or
3) The Classy Mall, in the rich part of town, with all those fancy shops & boutiques (aka, for the rich, aka, not really for me)...

So from experience I have learned that when you're looking for a good sale, go to the Rich People Mall. Yup! That's where you get the best deals. Doesn't sounds right, huh? But it is.
See, at the regular mall, when they put something on Clearance it'll fly off the rack at the 1st markdown. After all, everybody's looking for a sale. They might be shorts on that rack and it's now winter, but they'll still go. Why? Well, just go up a size and use them for next summer. (for the kiddos of course! You don't want to grow a size, lol.) Makes sense!

But for whatever reason, at the rich people mall, they tend to stay away from the Clearance Racks. So they eventually get marked down many, many times. When I've been there, the racks are full!!! And I.AM.IN.HEAVEN.! ! !

Well, my intuition payed off. We hit the L2 at the expensive, outdoor mall and they had a huge Clearance rack that already had markdowns, PLUS they had a sign for 'take an additional 50% off lowest ticketed price' . Now that's what I'm talking about!

Woohooo!!! Jack Pot!!!!

Are you curious to see what we got ???? Well check this out

My economics teacher would be so proud!!! What a way to make the $$$ stretch, don'tchathink? I wonder when they'll have these type of sales for MY type of stores?!?!? lol
