me=cheapskate

Yup...I'm a cheapskate! And proud of it! My sis and I went shopping today, we had some coupons for Kohls, 10 bucks off of a 10 buck purchase and they were burning a hole in our pockets! They were handing them out with purchases a few weeks ago and I got another in a email from them! So I ended up with some fun goodies today...first I grabbed some drinking glasses since ours seem to be breaking. They're cute, AND were on sale for 4.99.
Next while browsing the shoes I spied these Skechers the stripes don't look quite so bright in real life. I think it's been about a year since I bought a new pair shoes!!! These will be such a change from the white clodhopper athletic tennies I always wear. They are as light as a feather...of course they were on sale!
and lastly I spied some speakers for my Ipod on the clearance cart....priced at ONLY 5.99!!! I just saw them at BB&B for 29.99!!! Now how's that for a sweet deal?!?


Whew, that was not the end of my bargains for the day...no indeedy. I'm organizing my photos in albums, with regular 12x12 page protectors and page protectors where I can just plop the photos in. Works nice since I don't have to scrap every dang photo! Well, Hobby Lobby had albums on sale and I found some great ones, they are 12x12 with 100 pages in them at half off! w00t w00t! Only 15 bucks each! I'm set for a while!
Ahhhh, gotta love being a cheapskate!

OK, I know I still need to do the tag from when you tagged me, but I did this other tag I needed to do and I tagged you :0)
Anyway, nothing wrong with being a cheapskate for some things I always say :0)

hey I was at Kohl' today too, how come I didn't see you? Oh yeah we're about 4 or 5 states away lol. They do have great deals. I got these awesome photo albums there my last visit that were 50% off plus I had a coupon for an additional 30% good deal! I prefer the term frugal to cheepskate or as my daughter likes to say "we po'" lol
