Little Shopping Spree

For me, it's not often I get to 'let loose' and shop. Today was one of those rare occasions. All three kids needed spring/summer clothes. They typically get two years out of their summer clothes, but last year was year two. So, needless to say, I needed a fair bit for three kids.

I decided to do the majority of the shopping at Carter's. I have really started to like their store since M was born and they had some decent sales. On top of that I had a $40 gift card for there. I was able to pretty much get all the basics for S and M. I had picked up some clothes at the consignment sale for K so I didn't need as much for her. I was even able to get all three coordinating Easter outfits for pictures. All I think I still need are some summer dresses for K and some sandals for S.

I spent $280. I made $170 at the consignment sale which is what I used for today. Then I had the $40 GC. So that is $70 out of pocket. AND then they had a special stamping bonus...so for todays purchase I received $50 to spend on a future trip. It's kind of crummy that I have to spend this $50 within the next 2 weeks, but I figure I will go back and buy a few summer dresses and finish up K's wardrobe.

It's funny how a little shopping spree for the kids was so enjoyable. Not a thing bought for me...I'm such a mom :0P

And as a little aside...there was a 'Now Hiring" sign and my sister J took an application. I could totally dig my sister working there and taking advantage of that employee discount :)
