Attention Shoppers!!!

So it's the day after Christmas and my babies got me a gift card for the "big girl store" where I shop...Lane Bryant.

Cool!

I've been needing some new clothes so I decided to go use my gift. After all, it's the day after Christmas so there should be SALES GALORE!

NOT!!!

I go to the store and find two really cute tops that I like...each priced at $49.95 (everything is so expensive in that store). But I'm thinking that it'll be okay because just this morning I received the following text from Lane Bryant, so surely I'd get a deal. Here's what it said:

"Up to 60% off store wide!"

Well at 60% off, I could afford the two tops...never at full price though.

So I take my tops to the register...the lady rings them up...and you can guess what came next...

She says, "Just so you know, these are not on sale."

Of course not. That would be too much like right.

So I ask her to put them on hold so that I can come home and check my email to see if there are any coupon offers.

I get home, and...well...you can guess what comes next...there weren't any.

So there ya have it.

I desperately need some new clothes, but not at full price. And even though I had the gift card that my babies gave me, I'm not just going to frivolously spend their money just because it's not MY money. What sense would that make?

So...no clothes for me today. Just have to wait & see when the next coupon offer comes & then hope that the tops are still there in my size when I go back.

Let the DIALOGUE begin: Did you do any after Christmas day shopping today? If so, did you get any deals, or leave empty handed as did I?

Take to me!

Til next time...
