No Whining Allowed

As I mentioned in my “About Capri Kel” column, I love a good deal. Sometimes I think I love something even MORE if it was a bargain. As a matter of fact we were discussing this very thing at our Bible study on Thursday morning. We not only love our fabulous bargains, we feel compelled to share the details of our hunt and capture. Hula Laurie had on a HOT new jacket that received MANY compliments. She looked great and it was our job to tell her. Her comment as she walked by was “Thanks! $7.00 on clearance at Kohls” We all nodded and aahhed with great admiration and respect. I love that.

I think I also mentioned that I like to shop at TJ Maxx, Marshall’s and Homegoods, the trifecta of good shopping. Imagine my shock and disbelief when making an after Christmas purchase at the TJ Maxx in Westland (I think we have been going there since I could drive! Some 30 years, oh my , that sounds bad) and the helpful cashier gave me the shocking announcement that they were closing in 15 days! Now this is probably the location I frequent the most, as it is semi on the way home from BSF (the Bible study) and I sometimes just pop in for a “Chai Run” (see a couple posts down) and a quick look-see. The following Wed. after BSF  I went in search of a bargain and found these sleep pants on clearance for $10.00 and everything in the store was an additional 20% off.

We Capri’s are especially fond of this brand ( you can hardly see the logo) “Life is Good”.  Cute stuff and it generally reflects our life attitude. I have recently converted from Nighties to P.J.’s and I am trying to MATCH my tops with bottoms (something that never bothered me, but Capri L assures me  is major important, that little quirk carries over to every area of her life too; sheets, clothes & shoes, home goods, undies & on & ON)  Love the daisies (don’t you think dasies are the FRIENDLIEST flower) & love the purchase. I am actually wearing them now.

Went back the next week (as if I didn’t SCOUR the place last week) just to see what was still there. Not too much , but I did score ANOTHER pair! And this week everything was store wide 40% off!!! And perhaps the best part was I already had a navy fleece top with 3 little , you guessed it, SNOWFLAKES, on the chest. How’s that for matching Mrs. Schmenkman!
