I've bought almost all my Christmas gifts online, for a huge discount, and even gotten a few things for myself- even though I HATE spending money on stuff and things. I would love to believe I love it, but it really does hurt my soul.
This week, Smartpak was having a HUGE sale. Jackie texted me that they had FITS breeches for $80 and I literally sped home to order some.
Didnt care. NEEDED.
For $80 I couldn't even say no. NO question. I've been obsessed with FITS forever, because FITS. Theyre usually like eleventy billion dollars. I'm a broke bitch and could not justify EVER spending more than $40 on breeches, ever. HA.
I also had a $10 coupon from Smartpak ( LOVE them and their customer service btw).
100% JUSTIFIED.
Once I had them in the cart though, & shipping was tacked on, I couldnt do it. (Normally shipping is free for orders over $75 BUT with my coupon, it was $70. DAMMIT COUPON!!!).
I battled inwardly for many minutes.
UGH, I couldnt do it. I actually NEED breeches, but I simply could not make myself click the button.
WHY OH WHY?? SALE. COUPON. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME??
My mother has done too good a job teaching me about finances. Its a real tragedy I couldnt be irresponsible for 3 seconds and just get it over with.
So what did I do? Bought Levi a jacket.
Because he obviously needs more.

It was 79% off okay?
Dont judge me!!
SEVENTY NINE PERCENT OFF.
That means it was $8. Worth it.
Levi will look very dapper in his new Navy and Green Jacket.
THE MOST DAPPER.
I just internally freaked out a little when you said FITS for $80. I'm glad I didn't know about that sale! I think I would have done the same though - loaded up the shopping cart...and then not hit the button. CURSES YOU FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE CONSIENCE. This is why I can't have nice things.
ReplyDeleteGoddamn FITS. Goddamn responsibilities more...at least Levi will look amazing.
ReplyDeleteI've had to close my eyes, put my fingers in my ears, and single jingle bells to the tune of "I want to take care of adult responsibilities" to avoid buying anything. So many fantastic deals out there on stuff I cannot have.
ReplyDeleteaww... i wish i had some of your self control ....
ReplyDeleteHe is so handsome in his new coat!!! At least somebody got something hehe. :D I hate spending money too. It sucks!
ReplyDeleteLevi is so cute in all his jackets! Can you send some self control my way please?!
ReplyDeleteThere is never anything wrong with buying another dog blanket. NEVER.
ReplyDeleteAt last count, my dog has 3 coats and 4 pairs of flannel pajamas. I have 2 pairs of breeches - 1 pair I bought 10 years ago. They're TuffRiders, so not exactly expensive to begin with. The 2nd pair I bought used on EBay. I think we share the same budgeting strategies!
