True Confessions of a Cheap Shopaholic!

So I went shopping today..... I know, I know-everyone who knows me is soooo shocked about that! I had a $10 off coupon at JCPenney burning a whole on my desk-it's the coupon for $10 off a $10 purchase or more. Well of course I went with the plan of spending only $10-hey I figure free money!!! So as I look around-I spot this cute glitter tree (Mr. Smith might not be too happy). Original price $19.99.......on sale for 60% off so we are down to $7.99. Need to find something to take me to the $10 mark....... So I find this ornament (more glitter) for $5.99 on sale 60% off $2.40........


Do you feel the suspense in the air? After my coupon and tax of course......my total (it's a bank breaker) came to 41 cents!!!!!!!!!!! My receipt stated that I saved $25.60!!!!! Yeah sometimes I think I am a ROCK STAR!!!!
Moral of this story is.....
1. My children know that's how I shop, on sale and with a coupon.
2. Basically the stores should just give me stuff for free.
3. If you want to shop with me, just be forewarned that I will always find the cheaper bargain and you will pay full price(those of you who have shopped with me will know who I am talking about).
4. I will get in trouble for this post because Mr. Smith has no clue what I did today and now I just posted it. STINK!!!
