Anyway, today, we're going to talk about another form of addiction.
*stands* My name is Pixie, And I'm addicted to craft supplies. *waits for the "Hi Pixie"*
This really is on the hard side for me to admit. Or should I say USED to be. But now, I embrace my addiction, because Honestly? I refuse to pay full price. I'm also addicted to Sale Prices/ Clearance and Coupons.
Let's take yesterday. Yesterday was Sunday. Now, if you know me, you know that I do not leave my house on Sunday. That is truly my lay in bed, relax and recoup before a work week day. I was up and at Joann's before they opened. Why you may ask? Well, they had McCall's patterns on sale for $.70 a pattern! ALL of them! Not like the spring and summers let's get rid of them for the fall and winter type of thing. ALL OF THEM! So, I got 10 patterns for me. Then on a second order I got 6 for Mummy Dahling. (Limit 10 per order, hence the 2 orders.(Yup, just used Hence correctly in a sentence. HELLO SAT points!)) So, my total with tax was $ 7.49. The total for mom's was $4.50. For a total of $ 11.95.
Checking the math $7.49
+$4.50
$11.95
Ya ever go to a store and they have the "You Saved" line on the bottom of the receipt Sometimes it will be "Total Savings"? Well which ever, That's my favorite part of the receipt. I LOVE to see how much I saved. Well, on Mummy Dahling's patterns, I Saved $98.80. And on my patterns....Drum Roll Please....I saved....$125.75!!!!!! Let's check that math!
$ 98.80
+ $125.75
$ 224.55
OMG, I think I had an O! Better than sex I tell ya.
I like to think of it as "Extreme Couponing" without the cutting and the saving and the crap. The very best, absolute, most AMAZING part? I didn't use a single coupon! NOT ONE! And I had some good ones let me tell ya!
So those of you who know me, now know why I have 2 two drawer and 1 three drawer filing cabinets full of patterns. Because when I need them, I have them.
So what do you buy en mass when you can?
