In case you didn't know, there is tax-free shopping (school supplies and clothing) in Virginia this weekend. Hmm. That reminds me. I should probably go stock up on running gear ...
(Cue the sunshine and butterflies ...)
Sorry about that. Back to my point, I am all about a deal and was not going to pass up what is essentially a 5% discount. So, early yesterday morning, I loaded the girls into the car and headed to Target. I knew I could get all of Dizzle's school supplies there (even the four pre-cut tennis balls. Seriously, they are on the list.) And I figured that I would take her to pick out an outfit for the first day.
Right. So, about that. When we got to the Girls' department, all I could see was CLEARANCE. And before I knew it, I was picking up things left and right. I couldn't control myself. The deals were so amazing that we ended up going to a different Target later in the afternoon to see if we had missed anything.
Two trips and $80.52 later, Dizzle and Doodle had brand new wardrobes ...
Crazy, right?
In the end, we bought 22 pieces for $80.52. That is $3.66 a piece. And really, the deals were better than that. I bought each of the girls a sweater (at $10 each), so that they could wear the outfits year-round. Which means, we got 20 of those 22 pieces for $60.52.
And thanks my habit of purchasing items a size up when they go on sale, the girls have plenty of leggings and tees to layer the pieces when it gets colder.
Not to shabby for a year's worth of clothing ...
