Yesterday after work I had one hour until my nail appointment, so I dashed off to JC Penney to return a pair of slippers that I bought for DH. You might think that after nearly 20 years of marriage, I would know his shoe size.
You would be wrong.
I was off by a full size.
Anyway, while walking to the aisle to find the proper size pair of slippers, I was distracted by a handbag display with a big 70% off sign.
Oh, my, should I slip an aspirin under my tongue because of the heart palpitations?
Handbags are now where shoes used to be in my hierarchy of life's accessories. In other words, I am pretty fond of handbags. At the moment I like black handbags because since I gave up dresses and skirts for my working attire I wear black pants almost every day.
Look at his bag...
It's larger than my usual, but I love the design.
Look at the price............
was $45, now $19.99.............AND I get another 40% off that price!!
I guess all the red tag items were an additional 40% off. I didn't have much time to look because I had to hurry to the checkout so I could get to the library to return all those books I got during the week of Christmas.
Nonetheless, I did manage to grab a few items: another black handbag and some purple polka-dot lounging jammies.
I got it all for just $37.oo AND the best part..........I had a $35.00 gift certificate! Where's that aspirin?
It was a good day.
Now I am going to sit down and see what Martha has to offer for February.
Cute cover, don't you think?

Wow!! You got great bargains! I too, love black purses. My mom and I were in Penneys before Christmas and were surprised how it has changed to look more like Macy's. : )
ReplyDeleteI got that Martha issue today too.
Thanks for always leaving me comments. I find it hard to know what to talk about sometimes as life is hard for us with our parents being ill, etc.
Glad you made it back to blogger land. I thought maybe you went back to the Casino! I called my bargain shopper DIL tonight, Penneys now has, if you use your credit card in the next 3 days you get an additional 15% off, even on sale items marked down by 70%. I might have to go look for some bargains.!

Wow, Zoey, you scored big time! I'd be having heart palpitations too. As for the size thing, I never buy my husband the size he really wears. He'd be insulted if I thought he was an x-l. He'd rather return them for the correct size and save his ego. Poor baby!
ReplyDeleteYou are the girl I should go shopping with Zoey..you get the good bargains!! But maybe it's because I detest shopping so I'm never where the good bargains are!! Love the purses and the polka dotted loungers!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter gave me a subscription to Martha Stewart Living, Zoey... the February issue has arrived and I thought the cover was cute, too.
ReplyDeleteLooks like your 2009 bargain hunting is going well!
