My midgets went back to school this week. A-fucking-men!! But unlike most of their friends, my kids went back to school with, gasp, old tennis shoes! Major fail on my part, but in my defense, we hit some financial bumps earlier in the month that we are rebounding from. That may or may not be related to that "shopaholic" label I just referred to.
So anyway, let's forget about that bump and continue with my kick ass deal, k?
I took the midgets to Payless. Back to school means a huge buy one, get one half off sale. On everything. I also scored a 20% off my entire purchase coupon.
Each child found a pair of shoes that suits (and fits) them perfectly. Since I had that extra coupon, I though I would get myself a pair of shoes. I resisted the urge to buy yet another pair of boots. Not only would the husband kill me, but none of them had heels. Seriously, where can a girl get a gorgeous pair of sleek black boots with a heel? Sheesh!
While I was looking, my girl found herself a pair of boots. Must be hereditary. The pair she found were the exact ones she wanted last year but could never find in her size. I sent a text to the husband about a budget. Once I had a number, I did the math and we went ahead and grabbed the last pair of those lovely boots in her size. I also grabbed myself some pretty pink tennis shoes and a few extras for my boy.
Let me break down everything in that picture.....
What we could have paid, rounded to the nearest dollar to make the math simple for me...
Boy shoes $14
Girl shoes $15
My shoes $21
Girl boots $37
Umbrella $10
Sunglasses $6
Total $103
That's really not all that bad, but I expected to pay closer to $75 with the discounts factored in.
What I actually paid.....
$50
I was nothing short of stupid excited when I saw that 5 and the 0. Somehow those $37 boots rang up as $14. Maybe it was a glitch, but I surely wasn't going to say a word.
What's the best deal you ever got on something?

I love finding deals! That's some awesome savings!
That is a hell of a deal. I think I need you as my personal shopper. My math generally errors in the other direction and I am standing at the cash register thinking "WTF, we don't need to eat much this month."
That really is a great deal! I never do that well with shoes. I get really giddy about the whole 10% off for card holders at Old Navy on Tuesdays...that's about as well as I do deal-wise!
So the detes about that post I saw on Facebook! YAY for Back to School savings!
Wow, that really is a great deal!
You go with your bad self!
