Shoplifting?? ME??!

Today we went to Kohl's. I love Kohl's. I really do. Until we got ours here Gainesville last year, the only time we had been there was when we picked up or dropped off Hollis in Macon, GA. After our first time there, we made it a habit to stop every other time we could just to see what they were giving away. Yes, giving away. Everytime I go in there, I find something that's been marked down so much that it starts talking to me "... you know you want me... I am such a good deal that it'd be a sin to walk away from me... that's right, put me in your buggy and take me home..." Seriously. Now don't get me wrong, I know they have some pricey items, but I don't know if I've ever gotten anything at regular price there. I go for the deals.

Today my main goal was to find Abbey some footed sleepers (insert my disappointment with Walmart here). She's outgrown all but one of hers and that won't last but another few weeks at the most. While there, of course we'd peruse the other sections for great deals. Their clearance items were already marked down like 70% off regular price and for today only they were taking an additional 25% off. Um, can you say DEAL? I just had to share a few of the items we stole from them today.

• The CD boombox: originally $39.99 - it was marked down to $11.99 and we paid $8.99. Such a good deal that we got two of them!
• The Carter's shoes for Seth: originally $29.99 - marked down to $8.99 and we paid $6.74. For Carter's brand!
• The Skechers for Seth: originally $44.99 - marked down to $8.99 and we paid $6.74.
• As if those weren't awesome enough deals... here's the best of all. The Skechers workboots for Allen: originally $100.00 - marked down to $20.00 and we paid $15.00!!! For waterproof workboots - we could hardly believe it!

I did find a couple of sleepers for Abbey and got some other oh-so-cute summer separates for her and Seth. We also replaced/upgraded our George Foreman grill for a better model - one with removable trays... so much easier to clean than the one we had. Overall we paid 43% of what our total bill would have been without the sales. That almost falls under the category of shoplifting in my book!
