So we ended up SOMEHOW with a couple extra bucks this month. So the kids get new summer clothes and Todd and I get 125 each to spend how we want!!!!! I'm so excited! Were going shopping saturday!

Okay guys, what are your fave stores to get the most bang for your buck?

Get 125 lottery tickets!

Depends what you want to spend it on.

Do you want to get a bunch of stuff you need?

Or one or two things you really want?

Are you buying summer clothes?

Old Navy and TJMaxx/Marshall's are usually good for getting a lot for your $$.

TJ/Marshall's are usually hit or miss. There's a shitty one near us but an awesome one (with HomeGoods attached) 20 minutes away.

Do you guys garden?

I can easily spend $125 at the Home Depot/Lowes.

two words.....

Me too but I'm only buying clothes....I'm in need due to my new um....size.

I wanna get a bunch of stuff cuz its not often that we get to shop. I was thinking TJ Maxx myself and Old navys right by there so maybe I'll hit it up. I dunno what it is but their clothes NEVER. fit me right, but maybe they will now.

I paid all of my debt off......bad move on my part. I spent ALL of my divorce money settling my debts which apparently ruins your credit anyway. Should claimed bankruptcy and kept the money.

I bet you could afford both if you picked up that hooker we saw oiling herself up in a bathing suit and sneakers on the corner.

If fit is an issue at Old Navy, they may have some cute summer dresses and get bottoms at TJ's.

Exactly, in Oakland, for $125 you could get 4 and share their crack with them!

she was rubbing that shit in!

in all seriousness though, spend it on YOURSELF and on something you normally wouldn't buy for whatever reason.

live, damn it...LIVE!

They have some cute dresses on the old navy commercials right now. Hopefully they're in stock.

She sure as hell was. Damn.

Same concept as when they wax produce, I guess.

Or maybe she was preppin' for a quick getaway.

^true. but, parents need a little love too. what's the point of working totally hard if you never get to treat yourself. maybe, spend half, save half? i'd buy books and music if it were me. hope you find something cool, Dani.

i dont know what shopping is like in the uk, but here $125 will get u new jeans a T shirt and sandles in some places... esp if there is a sale on

so go 4 it, enjoy a day of shopping, treat yourself to a nice lunch, and if u have change pink nail polish is hot

Ya, my kids college is actually taken care of in my divorce.....well Noah and Daisy's anyway.. But even if they didn't I would spend the 125 on myself.

Oh and psycho185 I'm in the US......and have plenty of pink nail polish.
