An honest look at family finances
18 Nov
I just bought shoes against my will. Grrr… I knew this would happen. This is why I don’t allow myself to shop for clothes. Here I am giving myself permission to spend $20 a month on clothes and instead I’ve now spent $82. It’s money I would have spent on something else, probably on the kids, so I guess it’s not a big deal, yet. But see… this is why I stay away from clothes in the first place. And then my wardrobe ends up looking like I shop at Goodwill, while blindfolded. (Just kidding. It isn’t that bad.)
It started innocently enough. My husband was watching football and I was sitting next to him on my laptop. I was bored and Stumbling site after site. Then I found this site that has all the Amazon markdown stuff laid out so nicely. Might as well see what they have for 90% off, right? I mean, Christmas is coming. Oddly enough I didn’t browse anything that would make good gifts. Only stuff for myself.
Ok, but here they are… my new shoes. I got the “desert” colored ones. They are half off. In my defense they really are a good deal and I was afraid if I waited til next month my size would be sold out. I was kinda nervous about buying shoes online. A picture might be worth a thousand words… but it doesn’t tell you if those shoes look nice with your favorite jeans. You know what I’m sayin’? So I went to the store to try on similar ones, just too see if the size was right and if I really do like that style. And guess what? They had the exact shoe at the store. Same color and everything. So that was cool. And they were $60 in person. So I came straight home and ordered them.
But that’s it for a while! Nothing new until January at least. Pinky swear.
