Today was a busy errand-filled day.
Aldi – Bought oats for the rats.
Savers – Donated the jeans I no longer wear.
Kohl’s – Went to look for a new bra, but couldn’t find any I liked. I did buy three new long-sleeved shirts which were on sale for only $4.80 each. I made sure to get some colors I don’t otherwise own too.
Payless – Went looking for white sandals and actually found some I like. They were on sale for $25 (normally $30) and I had a 20% off coupon so they were only $20. I checked their return policy which is 90 days. That gives me time to wear them around the house and determine if they really are comfortable. I have this problem where most sandals tend to cause irritation on the back of my foot and rub the skin raw, but I am not giving up finding a good pair since I have a bunch of cute summer outfits that only look nice with white shoes.
Lenscrafters – I wanted to look at frames but their selection was kinda crappy so we walked through the mall to Visionworks. They have a huge selection, but I still didn’t see anything I was truly interested in. My head/face is so small that the kids frames fit best, but the downside to that is the actual glass is smaller which tends to drive me nuts. Is it any wonder why I still wear my super old ugly big round glasses around the house? I think not. I hate shopping for glasses, so I’m procrastinating on it even though I want new ones.
Bank – Had to cash the $5 rebate check that the bank app refused to scan.
Meijer – Picked up some corned beef and cabbage so I can make it in the crockpot on Monday (which we will actually be eating on Tuesday). They also had a nice deal on the Reese’s peanut butter eggs – buy five get five free. They came out to $0.39 each which is cheaper than buying them in a six pack for $3 at Target.
Vitamin Shoppe – I bought a huge bottle of magnesium even though I still have some since they sent me a 20% off coupon. I won’t need to buy anymore of that for like a year now!
Michael’s – I wanted to get some St. Patrick’s Day decorations but they didn’t have any. They barely even had Easter decor which was surprising. Interestingly enough, they had a whole display of jewelry organizers and I’ve been wanting to buy a jewelry tree for awhile. The problem was I couldn’t find any I liked. I was contemplating ordering a $20 one from Amazon but wasn’t entirely sold on it so I was so happy to find one at Michael’s. It was $10 and with my 40% off coupon it was $6 total. It’s nothing fancy, but I like it. It’s on top of the dresser now, but the mirror behind it was making it hard to take a decent photo. I plan on rotating what I keep on there based on the season and what I want to remember to wear.
Dollar Tree – I figured maybe they’d have some St. Patrick’s Day decor, and they did, but it all sucked. I ended up getting a fleece blanket for the rats and some household items.
Target – I wanted to get this cute fabric cube and some face soap that was on sale, plus we got some groceries.
We were so pooped after all that running around that we treated ourselves to lunch at Noodles & Company since we had a BOGO coupon.
