A blogworthy purchase according to Mari & Cheri!

Today I met up with Bekah's class at the mall to watch the movie "Earth" (that is another post coming). How convenient that the theatre is at the mall, AND I didn't have to ride the bus there with the kiddo's but could meet them there (can I get a woot woot from people that hate riding the big yellow monster with a bunch of excited kids!!!) So after I escort the kids to the bus I meander over to Kohl's (yes I know we're mad at Kohl's right now because of who they choose as spokes people for your girls, but hey the clearance racks call my name!!). Checking out the sales, I find a plan pair of Capri's I can wear to church and work (which just so happen to be the same place). Then lately I have been checking out the purse clearance because I want a bigger purse so I can fit my personal size Bible in it (very spiritual aren't I?!) Any woo I am a BARGAIN shopper. I will not ever pay alot of money for anything and I LOVE getting a good deal. So I was checking out the purses to see if any of them were the right color (I never buy weird colors that are for a certain time of year, it has to be an all year color). Does it have a zipper? I like zippers in purses, not snaps. Handle, handle is important. I don't like holding my purse in my hand it has be fling over the shoulder with a good size strap, not to little, not to long. Also no plastic inside, must be cloth and there needs to be a place for my cell phone! Not to much to ask right?! Well looky, looky what I found:

So here is where Mari & Cheri come in. I am again meandering mindlessly through the store and all of a sudden I hear "Hey Kim". It was Mari and I knew that one of the sisters had to be near by and sure enough Cheri was there too. They both said this purse was blogworthy, so there you have it. Oh yeah why is it blogworthy? It was regularly $55.00 and I got it for $5.50. Cheri thought it was as good a deal as she got, but I told her I thought her deal of the $7.50 carpet was a bit better! So what do you think? You can't see it well but there is also a shoulder strap, and it's leather! I am very happy with my purchase!!!!

Gotta Love a GREAT deal!!!!

Jeremiah has needed a new coat for awhile. He had a growing spurt, and then just the other day he showed me a huge rip under the arm on one side. Well if you know me I have to get a GREAT deal on clothes. My kids know to ask if it's on sale, because otherwise they know I won't get it. I usually just shop the clearance racks!

Well today I hit the Mother Lode!!!! I had called Kohls to see if boys coats were on sale, and the were for 65% off, but I thought I'd better try JC Penney first.

I walked in and heard the sales lady talking on the phone saying that she only had on Columbia left. So I walked on over to see what they had. Most of the coats were the big puffy ones that Jeremiah would not like, and then I saw the Columbia! It was a size 14/16, which is what I wanted for him. That way he can grow into it. They were having final clearance today so you got 40% off the pink clearance price.

Guess how much I got it for, guess!!!! What'd you guess??? How about $11.00!!!! Yes that's right $11.00!!! YEAH for me!!!!

I also got Bekah some knit pants and shirts. The pants were $2.18 and the shirts $1.78. I got Jeremiah a pair of jeans for $4.18, and then because I was feeling so generous I got myself a couple of shirts for $5.00. Grand Total $45.00 give or take some cents!!!

Oh I was excited!!!!!

Just thought I'd share my excitement!!!!!
