Today is a shopping day. I spent the morning shopping. I was looking for 2 large baskets to help get my house organized. I was also looking for some tall, narrow storage cabinets and I need a new bedside lamp. No luck finding anything. I went to Lowes, Wal-Mart, and Sears. I had a $20 gift card for Sears from my mother that I got for my birthday (she couldn’t afford much but hey, I didn’t expect anything so…). I ended up buying some nightgowns– one was on sale for $7! They had some pretty dresses in Sears but I decided I didn’t need any…ha. The darn Sears cashier talked me into opening a Sears charge card. Surprisingly enough, I was approved. They must be loosing up the credit requirements again. My whole debt to income ratio is out of whack because of student loans so I truly am shocked I was approved and the amount of the card. Good thing is I got a $20 credit for opening the card so I went back and bought some slippers I was looking at. I like Sears. I know it is not a trendy place to shop but I always find some good stuff there, and they usually have great deals.
I was going to go on over to Barnes and Noble and spend the gift card my husband got me for my birthday but I pooped out; I did some book shopping online instead. I bought a bunch of fiction, a little over the gift card amount. Barnes and Noble had a clearance sale going on so I got quite a few books for the money.
I previously ordered some medium size baskets from Amazon.com so I could organize my kitchen a little bit. Now that I bought a whole bunch of new dishes I needed to rearrange things a bit. I bought 4 square baskets from Amazon to help out– 2-3 for food storage on top my fridge and dining room pantry (had to add a cabinet in the dining room for more food storage when the kids came)…and one is going in my cabinets for plastic storage. I already had another square basket so that one is going in the cabinet for plastic storage as well. I spent the afternoon rearranging all that. Now I just need to rearrange and organize a few more cabinets and shelves and I may just have everything in a proper place.
Now if only I could find some decent tall, narrow storage cabinets and some large baskets…
