Gotta Love those 75% off sales !

No doubt I am a born bargain shopper. I go to Big Lots, Marc's , and Deals often just to see what bargains the have gotten in . Today on the way home from Sam's Club I knew I was in trouble when Mike and I drove past Wal Greens and their sign advertised 75% off Valentines Day ! I read it out loud hoping....,but Mike was oblivious and drove home. After we unloaded the car, I could hear Wal Greens calling me. I told Mike that I thought I would go and take a look. he knew he was powerless against a sale of this magnitude and kissed me good bye. I promised not to be long and was on my way. Once inside the Valentine's Day isle I couldn't believe the great stuff on sale. I grabbed some pencils with hearts on them and pens with balloons for tops for the kids, A Valentine's Barbie for Cindy's collection, Hurried past the bags of candy that I really really don't need and found myself face to face with Valentine's plush. I grabbed a couple small stuffed bears for the dogs and there it was. A Giant Dog ! Wow ! I couldn't believe that such a find was still there ! A $30 stuffed dog for 7.50. Now this is the last thing that my family needed but.......he is $22.50 off ! From then, it was all a blur until I was strapping this over sized puppy into the car. I got home and sent the kids to carry my bargains in. The all three loved the puppy. Robby excitedly asked if it was mine or the families. I agreed that we should all take ownership and one would have thought that he just won the lottery. It got me thinking. We should all take delight in the little things! I guess happiness really is something that you have to make up your mind to feel.
