Bargain shopper, for the win!
I had gift cards and coupons galore, cluttering my purse. So today, I decided to buy things. I couldn’t spend much, if any, money because my next paycheck may not be for a while. Here are the things I purchased:
- Hoover Windtunnel Vacuum - $0.00 with gift cards and 25% off coupon
- Can opener - $2.63 with gift cards and 25% off coupon
- Brown dress pants - $29.83 with gift card
- Black dress pants - $0.00 with in-store credit
- Black flat shoes - $8.05 with $10 off filled punch card
- Valentino’s supper later tonight - $0.00 with gift card
I then sold some of my old clothes to Plato’s Closet to make up for the *actual* money I spent. I also got my ring cleaned and inspected, but I can get that done twice a year for free. I bought a couple gift cards for my sisters’-in-law birthdays, but those don’t count in my bargain list. Neither does the dirt for Haji the Turtle. Things I was hoping to find deals on or buy with gift cards: new purse, bangles, brown necklace. Another day. After I have income again.
I cannot wait to try out the new vacuum.

“I cannot wait to try out the new vacuum.” Sorry, but that’s sad. That being said, Linds said the same thing when we bought our Dust Buster. I guess it’s just an old married lady thing to say.

I’m jealous of your gift card shopping! That’s one of my favorite things: guilt-free shopping. LOVE IT. That’s why more times than not I will purchase a gift card for someone instead of an actual gift. I assume everyone shares my feelings on shopping.

Crazy married people.

If we had a puppy, you’d have PLENTY of chances to use the vacuum.

Isn’t it sad how excited we get about vacuums now? Mike and I got one from my mom for christmas and we were thrilled.

Also, I think Younkers is having a sale on purses and jewelry if you have a gift card for there…
