We got up bright and early this morning to head to the city where the mall and kohl's is. We met my sister at Kohl's at 10:00 so we could get the early bird special. My DD found a couple of shirts and a pair of jeans and some panties. My sister found some work clothes. I found a few shirts that were marked way down. All in all we spent $173 and my sister paid for it. She then asked if we wanted to go to lunch. Since we had planned to go to the Olive Garden she decided to come with us. She ended up stealing the check and paying for the meal. Thanks sis!
When we left my sister we went to the mall. We ended up spending $316. I guess I didn't overestimate as much as I thought. But I am glad that I took that amount out of the budget. My other sister had given me $200 toward clothes so my OOP is $116. Not bad.
One of the places we went to was the shoe store. When DD tried on the shoes, they only bring one out for you to try on. We didn't think about it and when we got home we only had one shoe. So we will have to make the trip to the mall again tomorrow to get the other shoe. They are holding it for us. I will be sure to take the back way in though. And I can just let DD run into the mall. I won't have to park that way. I can't believe I didn't think about that. Now I have to spend extra gas to get there and back. Bummer.
We went to the grocery store last night. I was hoping to get out of there for $100. I took a list and we stuck very closely to it. There was only 4 items that we got that weren't on the list. But I spent $176. I guess we were out of more than I realized. Hopefully next payday I won't have to spend that much again.
