Yesterday, I had a Feel Good Day (FGD). Nothing earth shaking happened, and yet nothing un-shook the earth. So why not? We all deserve a few of these FGD once in a while.
Thursdays - my off day from work. It started as usual - going to the bank, markets, bakery etc. Then I remembered I had received a 20% off BD coupon from Macy's and a $25 gift certificate from my Macy charge card. There is nothing more sinful than letting a good coupon go to waste. You know what they say - the more you buy, the more you save. That's my life time motto.
Anyway, shopping I went. After about an hour, I emerged with a purple cashmere sweater. I probably have at least 5-6 of them in different colors/patents. I used to pay around $60 for each of them. Yesterday, it was listed at $130, but on sale for about $108. After 20% discount, it was $86 plus tax. After the $25 gift certificate, I ended up paying around $70. What a deal! What a steal! If you are still with me on the math, you know I paid more on this sweater than before. Hey, but I FELT GOOD, and that's what matters! I used up the coupon and the certificate. Nothing was wasted. See how frugal I was!
It doesn't take much to get someone in a shopping spree! The more you save, the more you spent. It is a vicious cycle. Ha! Ha!
ReplyDeleteOooo you got an MJ sweater?!?! So jealous! I wore my MJ shirt today :) Niiice!!! Yup, I go shopping tomr morning (try to buy something at GUESS)!! :D :D :D
ReplyDeleteJen, MJ sweaters do not go for $130, more like $310! It was just a regular Macy brand sweater. But I love it.

ReplyDeleteFelt better just reading about your FGD ...
ReplyDeletePuzzled, I heard your dgt went to study abroad. You don't have empty nest yet, oui? Anytime you want a FDG, I can write something up for you. I am always good for a laugh. Is that a good thing? Not sure.
