That’s why I only shop one time every 10 years, because clothing is expensive! I went shopping today. Yep me, just me. That’s how us men do it. Grab stuff, maybe put it on, buy it, leave. Kohls was having a huge sale (surprise surprise) and I found some awesome clothes on sale. I got 2 shirts, 2 pairs of shorts, and 1 pair of pants that can zip away the legs to be shorts. (man I love those) And how much did you spend oh great man shopper? you might be asking. Well reader I’ll tell you. Reg retail price according to Kohls well over 200.00. My special price for me today: 78.00. $78.00 bones! Are you serious, well no, it was 103.00 but Joy had 22 something store credit.
So I was excited, until I was leaving the store and I realized, what if I get hammered by Joy, like I could’ve gotten shorts for 10 bucks each instead of 16.00!? Ahh my mind was racing as to how I could out shop my wife so I could win the argument we were having in my imagination. Then I devised a plan to blog about my shopping saying I got everything for only 25.00.. naw she’d never believe that, then I thought hey, all I got was a couple of shirts and some shorts, why the heck did I pay $103.00!? That’s an average of $20.00 an item. And I realized what a racket clothing companies have, because hey no one wants to be naked all day.
What do you think dear reader, was that a good deal? Should I hang my head in shame when I walk in the door later, or hold it high and proud waving the receipt around like it’s a winning lottery ticket?
