Wise shopper

Even during tight economic times, it is difficult to not fall for the next great deal and dig at the mall. When you see those screaming red SALE letters you can't help but fall prey to the trap. Still came home with bags of new goodies who know if you really need and will ever wear.

Yesterday, with our new hair straight from the parlor, we rummage trough the shelves of Stein Mart on US 1 in search for anything on sale. I don't really need anything but Maricel wants to look at the jewelries so I went to the home section and found a nice set of Asian inspired candles. I thought of my sister and her house, those candles just found a home. I felt a pang of hunger so I suggested we find a place to eat. Maricel mentioned a place that according to her serves a healthy meal, so I said that's the place. She drove to Boston Market. We each ordered ¼ roasted chicken and 2 overcooked side dishes. I kept coming back to the water station to wash away the salt. If that is healthy to her we sure have different concepts of what healthy is but that is not important, we had fun.

We had more shopping after at Ross and TJMax for more bargain hunting. It takes a great measure of restraint to keep oneself from the temptation of falling into the trap of shopping just because it is on sale. It only makes me wiser each day.
