OK, I have to brag...

So, today I was sent home after a half-day because I'm considered contagious.  The IEP meeting was done, I did some work on my laptop in the library, didn't have to see any kids (and give them my cooties) and I left around 11.  So, what's a girl supposed to do?  I was feeling okay.  Didn't have to be in bed or anything.  Why, shopping, of course!

OK, I am SUCH a bargain hunter.  I pride myself on my good-deal finds.  My Grandmom always said I was her personal shopper, and I could turn one dollar into ten.  It's so true.  I go straight for the clearance racks... I don't know if I've ever paid full price for anything!

So, I ventured to Old Navy, just to browse.  As I pull up, I notice my favorite "30% off clearance" signs out front.  Woohoo!!!  So, I hit up the maternity racks and the baby racks.  I was even more excited to see that all the baby/toddler clearance was an extra 50% off!!! 

Ok, so I spent $29.03 and got 15 items, ranging from $.23 to $6.99:
  • 6 t-shirts/tank tops/onesies for Sydney & Taylor
  • Maternity khaki pants
  • Maternity l/s shirt
  • 2 pairs of leggings for the kids
  • 2 bathing suits for Taylor
  • A pea coat for Sydney
  • 2 pairs of shorts for the kids
Nine of the items were under $1.  Each item averaged at $1.94 each.  WOW!!!  So, if you have any kids, I would not walk, but run to your nearest Old Navy and check out the sales.  Amazing!!
