Day 207 - I Was Naughty

I was SO bad. So, very, very bad. 

Did you know Michael's is clearing out their entire line of "Recollections" (that's their brand) in addition to other items. They are totally reworking their scrapbook dept and clearing out walls of items. Clearance. Clearance and scrapbooking.. I just about wet my pants with excitement. What could be better? A chocolate cake shake with no calories. Since the shake isn't happening - I went for the items.

 It was bad. Well, it was good -because prices were unbelievable low. I mean unbelievable. A $10 Martha Stewart punch for $1.50. Bling for 49 cents. Sticker sheets, in which I could make 6 cards from $1.
Paper for 14 cents a sheet and bottled flowers for $2.99 (Regularly $7.99) and glitter chipboard letters that were normally $8 were 99 cents! 99 cents! Less then a dollar. Even the Dollar Store can't beat this price.

Come on! I HAD to! I SO had to. I couldn't pass up these prices!!! No way. I don't care about the promise, the blog, anything. I threw it all a side and got some great stamp sets for making cards... 4 different one. I got 2 bottles of flowers, 10 sheets of paper, 4 jolee "shoes" to use for cards - the shoes are satin with "diamonds" on them.  4 rolls of dollar ribbon. I would have picked up some paper packs, but I didn't have a cart or basket and by this time, every time I would reach to look at another item, I'd start to drop everything in my hands.
So the bending down and picking things up wasn't worth the reaching up and looking. (You would have thought I'd just go get a basket. No - cause then I would only buy more.)

Smokin' deals!!! So I'm sorry.  I apologize. But the saver in me, beat out the don't shopper in me and I couldn't pass it up. And I KNOW I will be using all of this.  Cheap scrapbooking supplies - I was in scrapbook heaven. Shopping nirvana!

Bottom line... the no shopping isn't going to well these days. I'm doing better then I use to.... but at those prices... is there justification?
