Bargain Hunters

I forget how much I love GREAT DEALS!!!

But I also remember how much I don't love hunting to find the good deals. So if someone else tells me about it, I can go get the great deal and claim it as my own.

One store I've known about for a long time is Steve and Barry's. But it's like 30 minutes away on the opposite side of town so I forget about it or I don't want feel driving down there. But Robin alerted me to the fact that they had windbreakers there, so I thought a $9 waterproof windbreaker was reason enough to drive on down there. I needed something waterproof for Alaska.

Not only did I find the PERFECT black, waterproof, hooded windbreaker but I also found an adorable pair of dark purple Wellies by SJP's Bitten line. For $9. I know...awesome, right? AND the perfect brown and pink polo for only $5. I was pumped up, the adrenaline was flowing.

Matt had mentioned CVS had binoculars on sale for $10 so I headed there and got an awesome pair of Vivitar binoculars for whale watching and eagle watching in Alaska!!

You know it was a big deal for me since I skipped out on a "Law and Order" marathon in favor of shopping.

John and I booked our excursions in Ketchikan and Skagway, I emptied the DVR (first time in around 9 months that's happened), I went through hundreds of old photos at my mom's house for our profile book (I promise...will be posted soon! I was too cute!), and saw the people we adopted Faith from 2 years ago and caught up with them. It was a great weekend!

Now I have a looooooooong week ahead of me, trying to get everything done at work before we leave on Saturday. I can't wait (especially with my cute new Wellies and jacket!).
