I did the unthinkable

Yesterday was a day for shopping.  I had a couple of hours to spend, so I went to Kohl's.  I found the cutest outfit for Elaina.  It was marked down 80 % to $11.20.  I was impressed.  She was excited.  I had her try it on, and she wouldn't take it off.  haha
I also found some shirts for myself and Emma.  Unfortunately, they are all the same style, just different sizes.  haha  I got Emma one in black and white, and myself two (one purple and black, the other brown and teal like in the picture).  They were marked down 80% to $7.20 each.  I was quite impressed. 

Then, the cashier made me an offer I couldn't refuse.  I signed up for a Kohl's credit card (don't worry.  I won't use it...  much!) and I got an extra 30% of the purchase.  I bought 4 shirts, 1 pair of leggings and a package of 6 head bands for $27!  I was so proud of myself and ashamed of myself at the same time.  I don't do very well on spending money on anything other than food and absolute crap.  haha  Then the cashier told me the worste news she could have.  I got the extra 30% off any purchase for the day I got my card.  I of course did the only thing any good woman would do.  I took Josh and Emma back up there to see if they could find any shirts.  Josh is starting to get a little nervous about starting High School next year, so I thought a couple of new shirts might help.  Come to find out, he really needs them!  Yeah, double win.  A psychological boost as well as a necessity!  Wow.  That doesn't happen often enough.  haha  He ended up getting 3 shirts (two with t-shirts underneath, so actually 5 shirts).  I spent about $28 on him.  Emma didn't find anything.  That's alright.  she doesn't need it as much as he does, but she did have fun looking.  haha
