I love sales.

BJ and I went to Kohl’s (a) because it’s a new store in our area and (b) because I needed some new clothes to start out the school year.

Regular prices were, well, steep.  Not since my mother bought all of my clothes have I seriously shopped at a store with prices this high.  Just as I was becoming discouraged,  I heard BJ’s call from around a corner.  “Come look at this!”

I figured I would see more beautiful items I couldn’t afford, but I was wrong.  There, laid out before me, was the mother lode — racks full of the same items I had been admiring, only marked down anywhere from 60 to 90 percent off!  I was running around grabbing stuff so fast, you would think I had overdosed on diet pills!
Combined with the buy one get one free stuff I had already collected, the sales items came to just under $100, and I had way more new clothing than I had expected.  Fifty dollar shirts marked down to five bucks make me very happy.  I’ll be back to look for more sales!
