Shopping trip

Yesterday I had a mini shopping trip. I have gift cards left over from my birthday and now is the best time to use them because everyone is having really good sales. I love shopping with gift cards. I get my shopping fix, but I don't spend any money. I do find that I'm a lot more picky about what I buy with gift cards than I am when I spend "real money". I weigh every choice because I want to get the most bang from my free bucks. Isn't that weird? You would think it would be the opposite, but it isn't.

I bought the most expensive pair of sunglasses that I've ever owned yesterday. They were $60 and I got them for $30. I know $30 may not be a lot to some people for sunglasses, but for me, that's a lot. I got a cool, pink case with them, too, for free! They are awesome to drive in because they cover my whole eye. Yes, I may look a little like Jackie O...or a fly...but I really like them. I may be the only person in the world who hasn't lost a pair of sunglasses. Well, that's not exactly true. Once I dropped a pair down a port-o-let while I was at a golf outing, but I don't count that because I know where they went and I was drunk. Anyway, I'm so worried about losing these because they are so expensive.

I also got an $89 silk blouse for $24. I never buy high-end, high-quality stuff. I am a budget girl all the way. Truth be told, $24 is high for me to pay for a blouse. Anyway, it's cool and it makes me feel like a rich bitch--even though I paid for it with a gift card.

I also got the cutest pair of shoes at Payless for $7. Yes, $7. I'm tellin' ya, there are some awesome sales going on now. Go forth and shop.
