Another spree

Made another purchase from VS. last one prior was on the 22nd or so. Anyway, i think this is it. 3 pants and a sweater.

I also got my ray-ban glasses yesterday. $140 bucks worth of plastic and a screw is loose and the blue doesn't look so hot on me. i'm thinking of returning it.

Black Friday

I've been shopping at walmart a lot the last 6 or so months. i barely shop at target. i'll say 2x. the first cuz i was coming from work and needed to buy hot cocoa but didn't want to drive further down to walmart. The 2nd time was because i was so sick and needed the theraflu badly.

I saw the black friday ad for target and decided i'll go get the $3 toaster and return the one at walmart. I also planned on getting the $3 hand mixer. When i got there around a little close to 7am, the $3 deals were gone. One of the target sales associate mentioned people took 6 of them at time and they later found them in the aisles so they're bound to come back on the shelves. i walked out after 7:30 with just a pantene conditioner in hand.
I came home, looked online and decided to go to walmart after seeing their deals.walmart had a similar deal as target $3 deal but for $2.97 (the rival chopper, slow cooker and hand mixer). Target actually had the chopper, toaster and chopper for $3.
Anyway,i got to walmart and found the hamilton beach slow cooker for 14.88, savings of $1.12. It was a 5 quart cooker but maybe they were out of the $9.97 5qt one they'd advertised for. Their rival toaster was $6.36, down from $6.54. I actually purchased it for $6.54 a week ago and the difference was insignifcant so i didn't see the need to buy it and return with my other receipt. I walked out of walmart with nothing in hand. To me, walmart deals were no deals.

In the end, i walked out of target with a $3 mixer and a $8.99 hamilton beach slow cooker. Total was $12.97, tax included. Last month, i was looking for a slow and the best i found at walgreens was $14.99 but i had to pay $19.99 and send in for a $5 rebate which is something i tend to forget to do so i gave up. From where i stand, i got what i wanted for a really good price.

Bless me Father for i've sinned....

I just spent $115 at victoria's secret online store after spending more money at their store in the mall today. Awful. I feel like an alcoholic or drug addict that's relapsed. Technically, i should feel like one cuz i'm used to be a shopaholic. I spent so much money at Victoria's secret last year, it's a SIN! I mean from the bra tops to the dresses to the pants. So last year, i had them unsubscribed me from their catalogs, i stopped their emails and cut off all contact with them.
But, i purchased today because i need pants. I like their pants. They're colorful, different, not like regular pants. I actually went there to shop for underpants but then i remembered i needed work pants to wear to the clinic. Then i saw a bra and then a top, and then an oversized top. Honestly, if i didn't purchased that on-sale $25 oversized top, i'd have purchased one at saks for $84. So here's to saving! Yes, i'm justifying but the fact of the matter is, this is all my summer shopping. Heck, i can't fit into some of the summer clothes i purchased last year and i never wore them, some i only wore twice. I've soo many clothes and i've a bunch in a bin i need to donate. i really don't need any more clothes. All the closets here, my huge walk-in, dresser and whatever i have, closet outside, my shoe closet (yes, i've a closet that's just stacked with shoes.)

So, here's a blog reminder to self that this is my summer shopping. I think i've spent 200 bucks if i add the 5in heels i got on amazon (may i say those are so hawt!!). Here's to saving.
