When in Doubt....Go Shopping!!!

Hello Kids,
I have decided that my first official blog is going to be about shopping. I LOVE to shop! I shop all the time; when I'm happy, when I'm sad, rain or shine I will shop.
I have a certain type of shopping though that I like to do I call it bargain shopping. I love to go out and see what kind of deals I can get. What I like to do is set a money amount for myself, then I see how much cute stuff like clothes, shoes, and accessories I can get with that amount. It can be kind of hard sometimes because there are so many things that I want but that I don't always want to pay a lot for, so I set rules for myself. Rule #1: Hit clearance first. Rule #2: Never pay more than $10 on a piece of clothing. Rules 3 & 4 go with #2 but I put them down as their own rules. So Rule #3: Never pay more than $2 on sandals, $10 on flats, $20 on heels and boots. Rule #4: Never pay more than $5 on jewelry and $15 on purses. And last but not least, Rule #5: Use coupons if you have to, there is no shame in the coupon game.
Next time you go shopping try some of these rules. If doesn't even have to be shopping for clothes, you can use these rules for any kind of shopping. I guarantee without a doubt, you will save money and still get really cute things. Even if you only use 2 or 3 of these rules it will still get you what you want at a low price. This is a challenge to you self. At the end of the day when you have accomplishedthat challenge, you have every right to be proud of yourself. And with that you should reward yourself again..............and why shouldn't you..........you have the money :)
