so little time, so little money

I’m in the midst of that time of year. No, not when I get my period. Or where I believe I have the biggest but alive. It’s the middle of sale season.

Some of my favorite stores and more are having its biggest sales of the year.The only problem is this is a five-week month. For those of you who don’t know, I only get paid once a month. Damn-it. In August, we’ll start to get paid like most people do. But until them I’m stuck with four weeks left until I get paid with a Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly sale to hit up, a Victoria’s Secret in-store sale to sneak into and several dozen sample sales to crash in on at work.

I have to go to the Nordstrom’s sale. It only happens twice a year and I have a huge list of things I’ve been eyeing to go on sale. The same goes for Victoria’s Secret. I have to buy now, because in the long run it will pay off later. I don’t buy anything until the next sale, six months down the line. Well except for those two or three trips I might hop in there for, but those don’t really count.

Then I have to go to the sample sales and participate in e-bid at work. After all, all the money goes to United Way. What kind of person would I be not to help the kids and other people in need?

Oh and let’s not forget about my special coupon I got from Coach – 25 percent off anything in the store. I’ve been blessed to have received these coupons for the past year, as a “preferred customer.” So if I don’t buy something, they might stop sending me the coupons. So what’s a girl to do? Too much shopping; so little time and money.
