Yesterday as I was getting my grocery list ready, I remembered that I had $50 in birthday money to spend! That made my shopping trip all the more enticing. My first stop was St. Vincent de Paul, my favorite thrift store. I find it easy to shop there because they organize their clothing by size. I wondered how far I could make my birthday $ stretch at a place like this.
I found a pair of Columbia cargo-type shorts, a pair of Old Navy khaki pants, and a pair of Cato brown dress slacks (tags still on) for a total of $9.50.
With the rest of the money, I decided to buy shoes. I have been so good at not buying shoes and purses the last few years, so I decided to buy myself some cool footwear even though I don't actually NEED shoes right now. That's what fun money is for, right? I found gray and blue New Balance tennis shoes on sale for $29.95 and a pair of nice flip flops (with a real sole and thick straps) for $12.95. That brought my grand total to $52.40...pretty close to $50!
Shopping with deals in mind helps your money buy MORE FUN!
How do you like to spend your birthday money?
