Grrrrr

Has This Ever Happened To You?
You are excited to wear that newly purchased article of clothing! Even more exciting, it was exactly what you were looking for. Best of all, it was ON SALE for a ridiculous amount (after all THIS is the THE time of year for BARGAINS at retail stores!)
You hurriedly dress for your day and put on that new purchase....only to find the SECURITY TAG still in place. Grrrrr!
It is too early to run by the mall and ask to have it removed and you know, for certain, that the INK will quite possibly take over your life if you try to remove the tag yourself, if not it will surely ruin the new item, which is not replaceable...remember..it was ON SALE at a ridiculous price...so it was THE LAST and ONLY ONE available.
You change your outfit and go with plan B while wondering....WHY DID THE ALARM NOT GO OFF WHEN I LEFT THE STORE?
AND....
I HOPE I CAN FIND MY RECEIPT TO PROVE I PURCHASED THIS ITEM when I return to the store for the Tag Removal.
This has happened to me on numerous occasions and the alarms NEVER go off when I leave the stores. Generally, I hover over my purchases and check for the removal of Security Tags. This one just slipped by me...and the clerk.
At some point today, I will be stopping by the mall for the removal of the Security Tag....not something I actually have time for, but it is a MUST DO on my TO DO list.
Have you ever had this happen to you?
Does this frustrate you?
PS-This is seriously a Bargain Hunters dream time of year to shop. Right before all the retail stores end their fiscal years and prepare for inventory. It is always a great time to shop...this year is even better with the slump in sales at Christmas time. The Clearance items are not even picked over. Happy Shopping!
And whateveryou do....Please....Check to make sure the Security Tags are off!

Bargain Alert

Bargains And
Back To School Shoes
THREE pairs of shoes for under $20
YES! And the are totally CUTE!
At Target!!!!
$4.24 Per Pair!
Megan and I hit the Back To School Shoes Jackpot
today. Target had so many great shoes on CLEARANCE,
most likely to make room for all the Back To School
Merchandise they will put out when 4th of July is over.
Megan is at the stage of growth where I do not want to spend
a lot of money on her shoes. She will be grown out of these
by Christmas if she continues her pattern of growing like a weed.
The shoes are adorable and great quality...and very important....
SHE tried them all on and LIKES ALL of them!!!!
July 4th week is notorious for being great for Clearance Sales
and Great Bargains.
My other Bargain find is Swimming Suit Clearance Sales.
Macy's has them on Clearance with and extra percent off.
I got a new swimming suit for $30 that would have been $98
at regular price.
I am also finding great bargains for Katherine's Back To School
Clothes. She is heading to Middle School so a "New Look" is in order.
It is easy to stick to my "Never Pay Retail" Motto with so many
Clearance Sales to consider.
