Early Sunday morning battle tactics

February 27th, 2005 at 01:08 pm

Last night my neighbor called to inform us of a super sale at a nearby clothing store (her daughter is a manager). Usually my neighbor qualifies as a "spendthrift" but due to downsizing she's lost almost all of her income and her purchases are beyond frugal lately. So I asked "How much are we talkin, baba?" (My toddler can't pronounce her full name so she's conveniently cut it down syllabically lol)
"Shirts are down to $3.50 from $40.00 original!!"
Well.. say no more, I figured to myself... I called a friend of mine and we will scour the perimeter at precisely 1100 hours sharp!

Question is... just how much should I take with me? I usually spend 80% of the clothing budget on my daughters so when it comes to me ... lol well, you know how it is.
I've been verrry good. My savings goals are on track. My envelopes are fat and overflowing but I've no desire to pluck from them (Yet).

By the way, I got my hands on Mary Hunt's "The Complete Cheapskate"... the book is awesome! I'm going to use some of her principles on my current budget to test its effectiveness.

But back to my war tactics... Hubby has OK'd the spending limit to 200.00- money that will be deducted from my annual clothing budget. I figure it'd take cash with me so I am not tempted to overspend.
