Did you buy the $30 Groupon for the Gettysburg Outlets?
I did. Then after I bought my groupon, I had second thoughts. My younger sister had other activities and could not go along.
I wanted to go on Dec.4, so that I could join the Cash 4 Clothes. My hunters were going to hunt that day, so it seemed the perfect time for me to shop. My 7 year old daughter and I went and had a nice Mother-Daughter time.
Usually when I shop, I have an agenda. This day I did also, but determined I wasn't going to hurry, scurry, through the stores. We did have to keep moving, but I tried to let Adrianna look at some things without saying "Hurry up!" so much. We also drove through part of the Gettysburg Battlefield and talked a little about the War.
It would have been fun to have had time to go to Boyd's Bear Barn too. But I wanted to come home to a tidy house instead. We have plans to go later. Maybe during Christmas vacation.
I took 10+ items to donate to the Salvation Army and recieved $10. That brought my total spending money up to $40, which included my $30 Groupon (that I had paid $15 for) also. When I have money like that to spend, I usually search pretty hard to try and get the most for it.
I had a couple things in mind-dress pants for my two boys or Christmas gifts for my mother and mother-in-law. My 14 year old is at that funny size of 29x30. Sometimes, you can find it and sometimes you can't. That was not very successful.
I checked out the Legg's store for pantyhose and the price was not much different than I can get at WalMart.
One of the first stores we went into was The Christmas Tree Hill. It is a nice store and outside the door was some clearance items-50% off. So after looking at all my other options, we came back to this store and spent my $40.
So my total at the Christmas Tree Hill was $44.39. On the way home, I realized what a good bargain I had got and was very glad I went. Even though, I missed an oportunity to help my sister-in-law with babysitting while she took her husband to the ER with appendicitus. Sorry, Janette!
Let me explain my bargain. I paid $15 and got $40 through Groupon and Cash 4 Clothes. Out of pocket spending at the store was $4.39. So in reality, I paid $7.50 (+ tax) for each of my $40 bird baths!
What do you think of my bargain? I would love to hear what you got with your Groupon!
