AWESOME DEAL!

Ok some of yall know that I was supper excited a few days ago when I happened across a BIG DEAL shopping spree at Michaels. I NEVER get good deals, and since being here in Canada I’ve been a little bummed at how EVERYTHING is a few dollars more than it is in the US. Money equivalent ya know. So when I saw what kind of a great deal I was getting at Michaels, I jumped on it.

What happened was that I went to Michaels to get some stuff for a project, and then ended taking a look in the clearance Halloween bens. Halloween is NOT as big of a deal here as it is in US. I kind of had a lame Halloween so the thought of finding something that could be useful for next year, really made me happy. I started to dig and then the manager came by and talks loud enough for me to hear saying to the casher girls to “give the lady who’s looking through the Halloween clearance items, give her ANOTHER 50% off” (!!) you don’t have to tell me twice! that really got a gity-up in my step and I went back thru all that Halloween stuff 2 more times. And I feel like I got SUCH a GREAT deal!! I want yall to take a look at these next 2 pictures, and know that I got ALL of that stuff for ONLY $72.17!

I have NEVER walked out of Michaels with 4 BIG bags of stuff and have it come out to be so low to what I know it would normally cost. I was very curious on how much money I actually saved (I know Byron’s going start giving me a talk about how if I didn’t buy anything, I would have saved like – $10,000 over the next 2 years or something like that – but shut up! This is my party, don’t rain on it!) so I sat down with my receipt to tally it all up and while I only know what most of the items were being charged when they were already “clearance” priced already, and working off what I knew some of the items cost at full regular price, I know that I saved $185.33!! so if I was able to know what everyone thing was originally priced, I’m guessing I saved b/w $200-$300! I just feel really good about it and I’m looking forward to next Halloween!

a bag of assorted spider/skull/bat rings (reg $4.99) now $0.99
