Bargain Hunting September 21st

Tweet

The day started out on the gloomier side today. The sky was overcast and it was a bit dreary. So what better way to beat of the gloom than to shop! As I am a bargain hunter I start out at one end of a store and check out everything in between, grabbing what good buys there are to be had. Well, at Kmart, I found a decent looking top for $5.99. I thought it was too good to be true, but the sign did say $5.99. I picked out a blue top that had little dark blue flowers on it and tossed it into the cart. I meandered through the shoe aisle in hopes to find a decent pair of sneakers for myself and a pair of shoes for my hubby. Nothing there. Off too the rest of the store. At the end of my journey was the Halloween stuff. Right next to it stood a display of Christmas Trees! What the heck! Isn't it enough that they put the decorations and other trinkets out? I ran for the checkout. Luck was on my side when I pulled into a checkout that had only one person in front of me who only had a few items. My turn came and the top rang up at $8.99. I told the cashier that the sign said $5.99. "Price Check Womens Clothing!" The clerk came over and said it was a percentage off sale and that the top was probably put there by mistake. I stood my ground and said that the button up tops were a percentage off not the one I chose. She tossed her hands up in the air and said, I'm not going to argue over this, give it to her for $5.99. I guess someone was having a bad day. Not me! Now off to Payless to check out the sneakers. Oh yea, a pair of sneakers for $6 and they were comfortable too! I bought hubby a pair of crocs because his hikers were causing his heels to blister. His cost $19.99, not a bargain, but if they will be comfortable for him it is worth the money. Walmart was next. I found a vaccuum that I wanted to buy for $44.95. It is a Bissel bagless vac. Many of my clients have this vaccuum and it really works well. My old one will go to my son and his wife. Aldi was the last stop. I only needed 3 items, but knew if I took a cart that would soon multiply into a cartful. So, I brought a bag in with me and filled it with what I thought I needed. I found cookies buy one get one free. Since the grandkids are going to be over tomorrow, I bought them a treat. Bananas were .37 cents a lb. Grabbed some cd's so I can record some of my cd's to bring in the car with me (don't want to ruin the good ones), that cost me $4.99 for a 25 pack. After I put the vaccuum together and give the floors a good going over, I am off to spend the afternoon laying in the sun in my lazy chair. The construction is still going on so it will be noisy, but still, relaxing day.
