I'm having a girlie moment. I went shopping yesterday with no expectations. I had a gift certificate for $50 off a purchase of $150 or more, and I thought "I need some pajama pants to lounge around the house in." So I went.

I got a lot of stuff, and when I was in line, a lady gave me another coupon for $25 off $100... So I did 2 transactions and got all the best deals I could! Clearance items were 40% off the lowest price and I had a coupon for $5 off a shirt and she used it on that... I got the shirt for $4.99!

So here's the run down... ( I can go into more detail later if anybody wants me to... )

3 pants (black jeans, light blue cropped jeans, and NICE burgandy pants)
4 shirts
2 bras
3 pajama pants

The total? Just under $200! That means each item averaged $16. Not bad in my book. I mean, the NICE Burgandy pants were $49.50 and the nice shirt to match was $39.50 regular price.

Post your best deals and fun shopping stories!

I went shopping yesterday too! I needed some retail therapy after being laid off.
I bought three pairs of shoes...some pink platform sandals...some black maryjanes and a pair of sensible, navy blue interview shoes. Also, I got a little pink purse to go with the pink shoes <--- it looks like this

AND...I bought a striped black and pink poncho and another pink eyelet shirt.

I LOVE SHOPPING!

You go, Vina.

Cute! You needed that, huh? Didn't it make you feel soooo much better?

I have an awesome pair of high-heeled black mary-janes, too, and they're one of my favorite pairs of shoes! Cute 'n sexy at the same time! And I love pink!

I totally needed it. Don't MaryJanes ROCK? The ones I bought were flats, but still cute. I've got a pair of high-heeled ones too

Yep!

And if I had $800 to buy a pair of Manolos, I would have these already:



And I LOVE these Christian Louboutin ones:
