I got an
amazing deal last night. I never have a
“nice” coat since I rarely use one here.
I make do with old sweaters and stuff my mom gives me, plus a hoodie. I got a stain on my 3yo hoodie which was
starting to look worn anyway, so last night I was at the mall and stepped into
Avenue to see if they had any deals. I
found a nice quilted coat in khaki, reg. $60, marked down to $18. I got it!
Then I got up this morning and it was 31 degrees so I cut the tags off and
wore it. Not the greatest picture but
here you go:
And why was
I at the mall, you ask? Isn’t that Mecca
for the shopaholic looking to load up on overpriced merchandise? Maybe not.
Apparently the mall carousel is free on Tuesdays. Yesterday Ayla asked if I would keep the baby
after work so she could take Drake. I
asked if I could take him and go with them, she said sure. So when I got home we went, he rode the
carousel 4 times, and we went to the indoor playground they have there so he
could play for a little while. I took
Zane into Avenue with me while Ayla took Drake to the playground. I was thirsty so I sprung for 2 sodas (my
first one in months), 75 cents apiece.
So the entire outing cost $1.50, plus gas to get there. The coat doesn’t count because I had already
decided to buy one when I found the right deal.
Here are the kids, enjoying the outing:
Yeah, that was money well spent.
