While I was back home in CO, I got into the habit of shopping for deals. Since most major stores are within minutes of my parent's house, I could hit all my fav's once a week. I didn't feel the pressure to buy anything if it wasn't a good deal. I could just check back the following week. Also, I had babysitters, so was able to actually shop (something almost impossible with kids in tow).
Now, having moved back to the middle of nowhere, I still need my shopping fix. I hate having to keep a list of the things I need "in town" and then when I finally make it to civilization, having to buy everything I need right then and there, regardless of whether or not it's on sale. Too much pressure. So I've taken up a new hobby to: garage sailing!
Here's the best deal I've gotten so far. A brand new kitchen play set that's originally $80 for...$3! It has a little crack in the counter. It was brand new-hadn't even been assembled yet! The best part is, Kate loves it. And she loved helping me put it together.
