Since I now accept my size, and don't anticipate any more weight loss, we discussed it, and decided that I needed a new pair of jeans. We were also driven by the three coupons I've been hoarding since March, of a total of $125.00 off. The two $50.00 ones, that came last March were on regularly priced stuff, but the $25.00 of was on anything in the store. The two big ones are up at the end of next week, so that was a consideration. So off we went, and when the dust settled, I had four pairs of pants and four summer T-shirts, and still have one $50.00 left. But, the exciting part was that I discovered that I've gone down yet another size in trousers! This was one reason for buying more than I had anticipated. The other reason was the prices I got. A couple of the trousers were 40% off the sale price, and a couple of the T-shits were buy one, get one. so I got a pair of designer jeans for $35.90, that had an original price of $109.90, and they look go-o-o-d. More incentive to maintain the gains I've achieved.
I also had a 50% off one item Micheal's coupon. I haven't shopped in Michael's in ages, but we did today. We even found a couple of things I didn't know I needed, until we saw the sale price.
So all together a good day, until you realize that I have $0.07 in my checking account, and had to use plastic money. The final bonus was at Starbucks where I used free food points to buy us a small treat.
One of the things I went to Micheal's for was a mixed media sketch book, that I had seen in a flyer. I've been making my ATC's with watercolour paper out of my watercolour sketch book, and it's just too light weight. When I saw the other on sale for buy one, get one at 50% off, it seemed like a good idea. I also picked up a pair of good shears for 50% off, with my coupon. Tomorrow is my ATC luncheon, and the timing was right, as well.
Now off to wash my new clothes, so we can shorten them to fit.
