Ahhh Shopping...kind of!

Seriously. Mommy claimed she did not get up today and intend to go to the store. We got into the car shortly before 1 pm this afternoon kind of aimless. She drove around for a bit, dropped some letters off at the post office, and then we magically ended up at a store, DownEast Home. After finding a couple of items at a steal (ones she wasn't necessarily looking for or needing), we of course had to wander in to Kohls. We didn't stay long (although we did make a purchase, again another STEAL but not one we NEEDED) because Mommy got a text that Target had their toys on clearance. We were at Target yesterday. We got a couple shirts for cheap, but now we needed eggs (which funny enough, we still need) and she come out with LOOT. AGAIN NOT ANY WE NEEDED. But come on. Look at this picture.



2 monogrammed mini backpacks
2 monogrammed rolling backpack suitcase thingys
1 full winter coat
2 large dolls
2 Tiana Disney Dolls
1 LeapFrog counting cake
1 set of Tiana twin sheets
2 leotards
2 TeaCup Piglets (yeah I didn't know either but they are cute)
1 Cinderella press night light
and 1 stuffed Kangaroo (not pictured)

Retail total according to price tags: $408
Here's where Daddy gulps and says, "Mommy better have a plan because she's not exactly nice when she goes over budget."

And here's where Mommy says:
Actual price paid at the registers: $91. The most I paid for one item was $13, and that was for the COAT (4 in 1 by the way....)

That's right. 22%, baby! It was a good day. Probably $95 dollars that could have gone towards retirement but now I don't need a coat next winter and we possibly have presents for birthdays.

Plus, those monogrammed thingys. Yeah one actually says Sienna (notice 2 n's but we'll let it slide for a $4.50 backpack) and the other says Cora but in cursive so it really looks like Cara and that one was only $2.99. The big black one has the initials CMR on them...yeah Cara's. And the other one says Arianna which means we'll be ironing on some flowers. :)

Mommy is kind of giddy. But she needs to go change for the gym. So we're going to log off....
