Bargain-hunting

I love shopping for Maggie, and I love getting good deals, so today was a near-perfect day! After my Thursday morning small group Bible study/book club, my friend Kim and I hit the mall to redeem our Gymbucks. I took a little bit of my Christmas money so that I didn't have to feel guilty about buying Maggie more clothes. I'm so excited at my deals ... check out what I got:

• ivory turtleneck: original price - $12.50; sale price with Gymbucks -$4.11
• fuschia turtleneck: original price - $12.50; sale price with GB-$4.11

Total original price: $203.25
My total: $52.88

SAVED: $150.37

Strasburg is also having a sale -- half off clearance and Christmas items. My "find" of the day was a gorgeous chocolate brown velvet jumper with light blue smocking across the breast and a light blue blouse underneath with brown piping. Regular price: $149.99. Price I paid: $38.65. Can you believe I saved $111 on one dress? (Granted, I never would have bought the dress at that original price. But still ...)

What a fun day!
