I acquired a lot of important stuff today!!
I had a few things in mind that I wanted to get today and I ended up getting all of them and then some! Best part is, I used coupons on EVERYTHING I bought today.
First lets start with the bag. As you may have read in this earlier post , I have my sacred pink Jansport with me when I go to NYC. My Jansport is very very old and has served me well. The thing is . . . I carry so much stuff that its getting overwhelming to walk that far with all that heavy stuff.
So I wanted something that gave me the convenience of a back pack, but something I could also push along if I needed to, and I had some birthday money left over so . . .
ROLLING BACK PACK!!
It took me forever to pick out this color as they had so many choices over at eBags (15% off AND free shipping!) but I finally settled on this one. I’m still in the Jansport family and I will still keep my pink one but its time to move on!
I also was able to get a pair of chocolate brown BEARPAW shoes from Famous Footwear. I was dead set on UGGS for a while and I was ready to spend the money on them, but after talking to a lot of people that had them, I was surprised to find out that UGGS don’t have very good traction. Traction and warmth is really what I’m looking for and these had both. Plus they were regularly $90 marked down to $60 and I had a $10 off coupon from the Entertainment Book ! $50 for me!!
We ventured over to Kohl’s next because I have a 30% off coupon and we ended up finding nice pillows on sale for $5 plus the 30% off! I also got some earplugs for us to help us sleep but I have them in now and I’m nervous that I wont be able to hear my alarm go off!! I guess they work . . . what?
Stop and Shop was next for some random ingredients I needed to pick up. Every once in a while I have a great food shop where everything is on sale. I got a bunch of Larabars I havent tried for $1 each and I also got a TON of reduced produce that still has life to it!
Pomegranates, orange peppers, vine ripened tomatoes and bananas all for under $1.50 each.
*sigh*
I have shoppers overload right now. Im going to enjoy it though because its not often I get to buy things like this for myself anymore. With all the coupons and sales I saved $38 from everything I purchased.
TODAYS MORAL: Plan your shopping trip while your at home so you can see what deals and coupons places have! I made sure I knew where the best price was for everything and took advantage of the coupons I had.
Time to finish the rest of the list . . . then an early bed time for a 5am wake up call!!
Do you sometimes have days where you have a great shop and some that totally suck? When I have those days I put everything back and go another day.
