Secondly, I have to give a shout out to all my subscribers, when I started this blog 10 days ago I never would have thought that I would EVER EVER EVER in a million years have any followers, often times I don't think that I'm that interesting, but anyways, I want to thank you all so much for joining me in my blogging journey, as I share my hopes, dreams, joys, and sorrows with you. It means a lot to me, and I appreciate the following.
OK so I went to the mall today, got myself a double chocolaty chip frappachino from Starbucks. Now anyone who knows me personally can tell you what a Starbucks addict I am, at first when I moved back to New Brunswick I thought I was doomed because they don't have many of my fave places to stop for my treats, I don't treat myself often so when I do it's nice to be able to treat myself to things I've treated myself to for YEARS. Anyways, I was overjoyed to find out that the local mall( the biggest one in town and we only have 3) had a chapters, and EVERYONE knows what that means, you got it Starbucks! So I stopped in there today to treat myself to a nice double chocolaty chip frappachino, on the slim side, with skim milk sans whipped cream(that stuff is disgusting, I used to like it and eat it by the spoonful until I realized how many calories half a cup held), and it was grand! Oh so delish! Anyways, after about a year living here they brought in MORE of my fave places to go, winners, Montana's, East-side Mario's, even Panago. They are bringing in Costco even. Now if only they would bring in my most fave place ever 7-11 I'd be in happiness heaven! A red-lobster and olive garden that isn't 3 hours away would be nice too!
So back to the point of my post, you know the reason for frugal Thursdays! I bought shoes, I know you're probably thinking what the heck, how is that frugal, but they were 50% off, so the sticker price was $34.50 and after tax that would have worked out to $38.99, I ended up paying a grand total of $19.49 that is a total savings of $19.50. So I guess my point is, when you see a sale on good quality clothes, which I'm sure we ALL will be seeing here in the next little while as the seasons are changing or it could be a store going out of business (in my case it was), its ok to throw your money down and spend a bit more then you normally would on clothes, shoes, or accessories, because you never know when another sale is going to hit you. I'm the type of person who never spends money on myself because I can never justify it, but I also can never pass up the opportunity to buy a cute pair of shoes!
Oh and here is a couple of pics of me and what I look like in them:
