As you all know, I've sworn off shopping. Well, sort of. Except in case of emergencies. And as you also know, I've been in the midst of a jeans emergency.
Before I became I Recessionista Mama, I was a Cheap Mama. But before I was a Cheap Mama, I was a single girl. And, as a single girl, I though $175 for jeans was about right. I had a formula about cost per wearing, and it did come out to be cheaper than some other items that were far less expensive, given the formula. But, I just can't do that anymore. Actually, I'm defiant: I just won't do that anymore. Yesterday, I went to the Gap Outlet and found two perfect pairs of jeans (the right length - one for flats and one for heels, the right wash, the right material, the right leg - straight, not skinny or flared!) for under $70 total.
I also noticed that the Ann Taylor outlet had an extra 30% off of EVERYTHING, Benetton was offering 75% off of every (going out of business), and other stores had similar "one day" specials.
It's enough to make a girl start shopping again. And, I suppose that's the point. Which is why it's a little scary. Must resist the urge - I've come too far!!!
