I decided the other day that I am going to have to break down and get some new shoes. I hate shoe shopping because I can never find anything I actually like. I do tend to do better at Payless so I have been looking for a good Payless Shoes coupon to use to buy my shoes. Of course that also means I have to find ones I like first. I think I found a pair that I really like, but I’m not sure yet, I still have some time, I think, before the big snow hits us here in Michigan. At the same time you just never know when we are going to get that snow storm.

Now, I am the type to go into a store and try on things, go back home, find online coupon codes and then buy an item online using those code. Yes I will do anything to save money, the best part is when you can use a discount code and the site offers free shipping. I do that a lot too and it’s always great to stock up on things you know your going to need, recently I bought 3 moisturizers because I go though a lot, they only cost me in the end $2 each. In these times every thing you can do to save a few dollars is always helpful. In fact I probably will do much of my Christmas shopping online.

Remember the days when you could start your Christmas shopping in September and have the store keep it until December. Yes the wonderful days of lay-away! I miss them, but there is still one store that has it and they actually carry kids toys and more, yes I am talking about the Kmart Lay-Away. I loved using lay away at my local store, but then they got rid of it and I have decided that the drive to Kmart will be worth it as I can get something and pay for it over time. If I don’t do it that way I won’t have the money to get it.

I am debating on putting the toy we are getting my nephew on layaway. It’s the smart cycle and i think he would love having this to play with and get all of his energy out. He lives in a trailer park where there is nothing to play with, so he could use something like this. The reason I want to put it on layaway is that there is a group of us paying for it and we could each take turns paying on it. that way we are not all scraping for money close to Christmas and are not able to get anything for anyone else.

Of course you don’t have to use layaway for just Christmas we use it for birthdays and more, well everyone else’s birthday we did, mine is 1 week and a few days after Christmas and usually layaway was closed for my birthday. I’m now sure if K-mart is though.

I have been looking everywhere for a wool coat and so has my little sister. I think my whole family wants one and that of course is pretty cool. I would love to get the one I found on buy.com but they don’t have it in my size. My sister though can get one and she’s pretty excited about it. Wool coats are so warm and stylish I think that is why we all want one. They are so classic that they will last for a long time too, so it’s worth the investment.

I want to get one, but I also hope to lose weight, so I’m trying to find one that is on sale so that I don’t feel bad for spending so much on it, maybe I’ll get lucky and buy.com will get my size in. I just hate the though of having to spend 200 on a coat that I may only wear this year. I may end up just buying something cheep and waiting on the coat though. It’s sad but I don’t think I will have a choice unless I can find one I do like. Maybe I need to stop being so picky about clothing. At least then I may have something to wear instead of thinking that everything I own stinks.

Today I was talking to someone who was telling me about her new Manolo Blahnik shoes. I love this person, but sometimes she drives me crazy. She is seriously in debt, but has a ton of credit cards and it seems an unlimited amount on each one. She has an okay job, but can’t seem to pay her phone bill. Yes I understand that she spends her money poorly, but even after helping her once to pay all of her bills first for 3 months she still had 1000 left to spend on whatever. I wish I had that right now, but no I have to pay 300 a month in gas for school and 250 for food and a bunch of other things. I still would rather be in my position then her’s. She’s never going to get out of debt.

Today I went shopping at a local clothing store and usually they have very good customer service, today it was not as great, unless you were over 50. A new clothing store opened just 2 stores down from this one and they were worried more about what their sales were then helping their customers, unless you were older and they saw you come out of the other store, yes they had someone watching. I had a coupon for this store or I may have gone to the other one after being ignored for 20 minutes waiting for a fitting room.

I have been a customer there since I was in high school and a few of them even know me by name, these women were not working, well one was, but she was the other store lookout so she was outside. I understand they are worried about this store with times being the way they are, but wouldn’t you worry more about the customers you have and not the ones they have?

I use gift cards for everything. I love having them to give out to friends and I’m even giving them out on my forum. Gift cards I think are the best way to give a gift because the person can get what they want and you don’t have to worry about it. Right now you can get really cool limited time Olympic Gift Cards from gift card lab. I’m thinking of getting one for a friend who has just gone crazy over the Olympics. She’s a sports nut to begain with so it would be a great birthday gift for her, too bad I don’t have a ton to put on it, maybe I can talk some other people into pitching in.
