We left at 7 and the hubby dropped me off at the Mall around 11:15. Since I've done the roller coaster thing last year, I had no desire to do that this year. I could spend the entire afternoon shopping. And shopping I did. I had some money earned from working overtime and taking surveys on Swagbucks, along with gift cards from Swagbucks, Bing Rewards, and Best Buy Rewards. I had a budget of $120 which doesn't seem like a lot but I had those gift cards and tend to look for a good deal. I actually came home with $27 and that's because I ran out of time to spend it.
Because the Mall of America is HUGE, I came up with a game plan of the stores I wanted to hit and a shopping list. I was looking for a long sleeve white button down shirt.
Even though I had the game plan, I really didn't refer to it once I got there. I knew where I wanted to go and knew what floor they were on. I hit most of the stores on my list... window shopping at the very least to determine if I REALLY wanted to go in as I knew I had at most 3-4 hours.
The hubby called around 2:15 saying he was done and coming back for. I was actually checking out at my last MUST hit. It was good timing.
My best deal of the Day:
$35 clogs from American Eagle on Clearance for $25. Then I got 60% off clearance which knocked those beauties down $10 and after my $5 gift card... I paid $5 for them. I couldn't be happier.
I didn't get a chance to go back and get some scarves at the scarf kiosk but the good news there is one at the Fox River Mall... and there's always next year.
I like this yearly jaunt. Knowing that this will be a yearly trip, will let me save up some shopping money. I am not a big shopper or fashionista but the Mall of America is always fun to shop at...and it has H&M. I guess I have to start saving my pennies for next year.
