I'm the first to admit that I don't enjoy shopping like I used to. (Jeff probably would say this is false.) He lies. I guess it's most accurate to say I enjoy an occasional shopping day, like when Katherine is in town. Yay for Katherine in town! We spent a few hours at Kohl's yesterday, digging through the clearance racks. At the end of our time Katherine came home with a bag of cuteness and I had one sweater to wear with my uniform black pants on Sundays. Yippee...
I told Katherine in the car, "When will I ever learn these basic rules of shopping?"
Lesson #1: The amount of items you find is in direct opposition to the amount on your coupon. Let me explain. You have a coupon for 10% off your entire order (which is practically nothing), you will find an overflowing basket of things you must have. You have a coupon for 30% off, you find practically nothing, except one sweater to wear with your uniform black pants on Sunday. Heavy sigh...
Lesson #2: Never, and I mean NEVER, hold up a pair of pants and say, "These things look huge!" for they will most assuredly fit you perfectly. Every. single. time.
Lesson #3: Don't allow yourself to shop with an adorable, petite, small-boned college student. She will look fantastic in everything while you spend your time going back and forth from the dressing room getting her smaller sizes.
Don't shop the hard way. Learn from my mistakes. And, if you see me on Sunday, yes I will be wearing my new sweater - originally $54.00, on sale at 50% off and with my 30% off coupon, final cost of $18.90. Kinda takes the sting off finding only one item. And, yes, I'll be wearing my "old" black pants.
