Raising a Savvy Shopper


Well I love being a frugal shopper, and Rebecca is learning her way to finding great bargains. Saturday the girls and I headed to the local metropolis (about 45 miles south of our small town). I had gift cards to Target that I "had" to spend or die, and Rebecca had $40 from babysitting and of course her awesome fireworks stand tip that she could not wait to spend.

Her first stop to shop was Aeropostale where she slowly stalked the store like a lioness on the prowl, til she found an obscure shelf with T-shirts $5.99 each. I mean we live in South Texas....t-shirts are year round here. She grabbed 3 of them and still got change back when adding Tax.

Then at Target I showed her where all the clearance racks and shelves were located, and she got a shirt, a bra (yes she is ten and buys her own bras....lol), a spiral notebook for school, and a box of Christmas Ferrero Rochere Chocolates all for $12 including Tax. The child went home with change to spare and halfway finished with her summer wardrobe.



She is my fashionista....and now she can buy it for herself and bargain shop to boot!
