I freaking ROCK

So if there is one thing we are born to do in this world mine is shopping. I LOVE to buy things for my husband and by kids. Even more I love to save money. So when faced with 80deg weather and 3 little girls who are wearing high water pants because they have all grown 3 sizes this year what does a shopaholic mom do? she goes shopping of course!! Unfortunaly due to summer plans and trying to put money back we have very little. I talked my way into a 50$ limit at least ir's something though. So I did my research, my price comparison and all that. It did not seem like I was going to be able to buy to much for the girls maybe a pair of shorts each.
As I drove down the road it hit me well i saw the big grand opening sign.  one of my favorite thrift stores moved closer to me!!! $4 walmart sacks of clothes. This is what I needed! I got in they had bumped up thier prices to 5$. Apparently people have had a problem with this. I am not one of them! So Biggwrl and I start stacking and grabbing every pair of shorts, t-shirts, and tank tops they have in sizes 4-14 I could barley see over it. Then as we were taking off the hangers I noticed an Eagle statue that looked like it was made of grey cement hmmm. the guy pulled it out of the case yep Mt. St. Helens ash 1$ did you hear me 1$ . We also bought a new purse for bigGwrl 1$ Total cost at the Hanger thrift store 13$. two walmart sacks FULL of clothes. and a Mt. St. Helens ash statue. So I decide to hit my #1 favorite.. it used to be a Hanger but now its called Sacs on 72. This one the guy and I have a good friendship. I pass my goods (outgrown stuff) on to him he crams my bags to the brim. Oh and did I hit pay dirt here!! I got an eagles Cheerleader outfit for Eldest to play dress up with her sisters, I got sundresses, church dresses, overalls, shorts man did i get shorts, shorts and more shorts. I had such a huge pile it took us 5 min to take off all the hangers, I couldnt even SEE over this pile!!! Total cost at sacs on 72 15$ for 3 bags of summer clothes.
So the total for today?
We started with 50$ to buy summer clothes for my growing girls
Hanger Thrift Store 13
Sacs on 72 15
Subway 10$
our grand total for the day 38.00$
38.00$ for 5 bulging walmart sacks of clothes, 1 statue, 1 purse and 1 nice relaxing lunch with my sweet girl.
