Non-knitting Content (aka Shopping Deals)
I mostly write about knitting here, but I’ll change it up a bit because I want to talk about the great deals I got today.
I shop at the Gap Outlet from time to time and usually get some pretty good deals. Target is another place I like to get clothing on clearance. Today I went to both and managed to only spend $10, but I got 2 pairs of pants, 4 tank tops, and a skirt. The pants and tank tops were purchased at the Gap Outlet and the skirt from Target.
I’m not big on these sort of tank tops, but the were 25 cents each, how could I pass that up? They’re great for wearing to bed or around the house and good for layering in the winter, too. The pants are great for weekend/non-work wearing. They’re cargo type pants, which I rarely buy, but they fit great and only $1.99 each, so I bought 2 pairs. The skirt fits great, I can wear it to work, AND it only comes to my knees! I know it sounds silly, but it’s so hard for me to find skirts that only come to my knees. When they’re longer, they tend to make me look like I’m even shorter than I already am.
I went to The Village Discount Outlet hoping to find some things, but came up empty. Things were either too big or too small, but that’s the way thrift shopping usually goes for me. No worries. I have enough nice stuff to wear to work and though it’d be nice to have more for variety, I’m not going to break the bank for it! I think I’m going to be going through my clothes soon and getting rid of things that I either don’t wear or don’t like the way they fit (I don’t like tight clothing at all). I am finally going to give up a lot of my shoes, too. Mostly the shoes that I can’t really wear (anything that’s not flat or a low heel).
Anyhow, I just wanted to share the good deals I got today because it made my day a little better. It’s been quite a while since I bought clothes, especially at such a great deal :o)
One response so far




Why can’t I find great deals like that? Awesome!
