last year i went on a mission...to find the perfect booti could not find it...i searched high and low
i wanted the boots to be:
-leather
-flat or a 1" heel
-knee length
-water proof
-riding boot style with a tab that you can pull down
-zippered so i can wear them with jeans
i finally found them! and guess how much they costed? (check blog title) (and yes, i made that word up)
8 BUCKS!!!! how??
ok...they were marked down from 149.99 to 89.00!
then from the 89 another 50% off
then...another 50% off
then if you use their store credit card you get another 50% off
i didn't have a card so i signed up
then they gave me another 10% off PLUS a 10.00 gift card....
so after taxes they came to 8.49
then i payed the credit card off on the spot...
yep. i can shop
i wore them all morning (yes, to the PARK) i looked super cute and very fallish...i shocked chris by showing up to visit him in something other than my mommy suit (yoga pants and jacket)
ha!

Hmmmm! Good buy, but shouldn't they have been $0.01 boots?
149.99 to 89.00!
$89.00/2 (50% off) = $44.50
$44.50/2 (50% off) = $22.25
$22.25/2 (50% off, thx CC)= $11.125
$11.125 - 10% = $10.0125
$10.0125 - $10 gift card = $0.0125
ok, that is TOO stinkin' funny. this is something I would comment about but NO, not this time. I didn't. i bit my tongue and resisted the temptation. Well, since Melanie's strengths are story telling mine are math. it's just one extra 50% that melanie mentioned that didn't happen and the 10% at the end were actually 15% off and then it all works out:
149.99 to 89.00
89.00 @ 50% = 44.50
44.50 @ another 50% = 22.25
22.25 @ 85% = 18.91
minus $10 gift card = 8.91
Good thing i keep track of my wife's spending...
Shannon, you made me laugh today.
it must be swell, sitting in a quiet office. alone. with no kid(s) around and type, do math and enjoy the honor of that...me on the other hand, is typing, uploading pic's, answering the phone, making supper (yes, i started supper this morning), laundry and handing a 3 yr old...
heehee
i came back bec i wanted to check to make sure that i listed the 30% not another 50%
