If it's not a good deal, it's not worth my money.
I LOVE to shop. I've always considered it a hobby of mine. But when I shop, I go to Clarence....or at least that's what I tell my husband. Ok, I may be losing you. Clarence, means clearance. It's just a silly way to let hubby know, this woman's shopping! So, what are my MUSTS when it comes to shopping? What are the deals I go for?
“No hubby, I did not buy another gray stripped shirt!”
My husband always thinks I come home with ANOTHER piece of gray clothing or shirts with strips. No hubby, I did not buy another gray stripped shirt! I have to admit, that used to be what caught my eye. Not so much anymore. But shirts, that my friend is the piece of clothing I love to buy more than anything. I can find ten shirts for the same price as one item my husband will spend the money on. All you need is a good pair of jeans, some black leggings, and you have ten new awesome outfits just waiting to be worn! Am I right ladies?
Yes, I do change my look a lot. I like new things! And sadly, I do have a habit of keeping the old things, too. That's when my husband likes to tell everyone I am hoarding. He just doesn't get it, does he? But, to my defense, when it comes time for a closet clean out, I have a good 5-7 trash bags full of clothes that are screaming someone else's name. Of course after my sister and friends ravage through, I always give them away without taking a penny. SO, maybe my hoarding is for a good cause. What do you have to say about that one, hubby?!
So where do you get those ten shirts?
If you have never stepped foot into a Marshall's or TJ Max, you've never lived! If I am in need of some good winter sweaters, or work out clothes that I wear to be lazy in and NEVER to work out in, you will find me pushing a buggy with two kids on IPADs or phones down the isles of Marshall's or T.J. Max! We all know it takes a while to go through those places. And to beat it all, you may find yourself a brand new pair of shoes while your there. Not to mention theres always some home decor you can't live without. And, if the kids are real good, you can bribe them with the 4.99 toy. I mean you are shopping for clothes that your hubby says you don't need, it's only fair.
I also love the occasional Target deals and Old Navy for the summer shorts and black swim bottoms...because one good black bottom and a few good swim tops ordered online makes for an awesome amount of swim suits!
Online shopping has also became a new hobby. Next time you have the few extra dollars to spend and time to wait on them to come in, check out shein.com.
And remember, it's always good to shop with a friend.
If you're like me, shopping alone can be stressful. Having a friend there to always talk you out of the worse deals and talk you into buying that one thing you just can't live without, always helps. Also, if you're a mom like me and you have other mom friends that take their kids along with them, do the ole 'switcharoo.' Which basically means, switch the buggies for a while. Kids always do better with other moms. It helps BIG time with those anxiety attacks. And most importantly. the threat of, "If you don't stop that, we are leaving right now,' will be slim to none. Because, let's face it, you really don't want to leave.
