Someone tell me how this happens.

I go into Kohl’s to exchange a pair of shoes.

I end up spending $107.

And walk out with the same pair of shoes, decided the size I had was correct.

What was the use of that?! :)

(though I did end up with some cute stuff anyway…)

Same thing happens at Target.

    AArrgghhh!!! that happens to me all the time! Michaels is an especially bad one. I can even do that at the DI. or TJMaxx… What is with our universal obsession with “stuff”? and why cant we break the tie?

    I always do that at JoAnn’s. I always HAVE to go in and use my 40% off coupon. And get like a bazillion other things. They don’t lose any money on me, that’s for sure!!

    Is there Kohls near you? Why do I not know that? LOL

    Geoff says that I just buy things so that I can return them & spend the $ on something else… says it’s my master plan. LOL

    Kohl’s is a dangerous place. And Target. And Costco. The list goes on and on. I HATED shopping as a kid. What happened? My cure for overspending is taking Steve along with me. He has about an 18 minute limit, then he’s cooked. Can’t go too crazy in that amount of time, usually. Hope you enjoy your stuff!

    TJ Maxx and More…evil store! I can’t go in there…

    Then there’s an issue with the art section at Barnes and Noble…took two books back yesterday (out of guilt for spending during our ‘30Days of Nothing’ experiment)…

    Are we retail bait or what?!

    Ha Ha - that just happened to me last week. I went into Kohl’s to buy a “gift” really I did but I bought 3 other things for me. I also think there is a magical limit to this spontaneous spending. I think it is around 100.00 - any more and we couldn’t live with the guilt! :-)
