So let's talk about addiction...because I just might need a support group!!! No, it's not food, and no it's not exercise but it is those golden "$2.97" racks at JCPenney that shout out to me just like an old friend, or just like your favorite warm and fuzzy slippers. And with this full force addiction, I can breeze right through the racks because I know the new additions from the old stuff and I do not have to try any thing on because I know to a "t" what will fit and what just won't work. Yes...this is where I even think it might be getting scary, crazy and out of control!!!
But let's now talk about the savings once again I had at my last visit to those "sacred" racks. First up was a pair of pair of golden yellow summer cotton jeans that retail for $36.00 marked down to $2.97...my savings is $33.03. And as luck would have it, there was another pair exactly the same item in a cherry tomato color...same price, they retail for $36.00, on sale for $2.97 and yes the same savings of $33.03, heck I would have taken all the colors of the rainbow for those prices.
Next was a plain scoop -neck black t-shirt that retails at $14.00 marked down to $2.77(it can't get much cheaper!!!) and my savings was $11.23. And last in my cart was a sleeveless tye-dye peasant -like summer top which retails for $38.00 and with the $2.97 markdown my savings comes in at $35.03.
So when the total savings appears on my receipt I'm amazed because it rallies to the tune of $112.32 and all I spent was $13.00!!! Easy to see how addiction can set in to make your heart start pumping and your feet start running to those glowing, golden and glamorous racks.
And for the record, the hubby was also a baragain fashionista last weekend with his steals and deals which will be shared with all next blog...he even mentioned that I blog it so I would say he was pretty happy with his glorious finds...stay tuned!!!

The Bargains Are In Bloom And What a Garden Variety Out There!!!
When your karma rocks it turns a good day into a fabulous day!!! It makes the smile on your face even bigger and that spring in your step might turn into a giant leap!!! This is close to the feeling I had yesterday afternoon while leaving JCPenney's. I had scored a major touchdown on the clearance racks so I was a very happy camper!!!
The breakdown of my bargains is just incredible and this bargain fashionista can't wait to share with all...so here we go!!!
First purchase was a lovely short sleeve mid length vest that I love to add a pin to keep the vest closed, so it retails for $34.00 and was marked down to $13.60...my savings was $20.40 (Okay I'll take it!!!). Next up was a pair of gray capri pants with nice zippered side pockets, this retails for $40.00 on sale for $2.97...my savings was $37.03 (seriously...are you kidding me, I'll take one in every color!!!).
Continuing on, next was a nice pair of white capri pants perfect for my Florida trip next month, they retail for $36.00 and I snagged them for $2.97...my savings was $33.03 (does this seem even possible to mark things down this low...but no complaints here!!!). And the last piece of clothing was a nice pair of linen pants trimmed with buttons on the bottom, retailed for $49.90 and I paid...yes of course you all know, $2.97 which gives me a savings of $46.93(OMG...I never want this to end!!!). My thirst continued for more...so I strolled over to the costume jewelry and found a great funky, chunky and trendy bracelet which retails for $15.00 and was marked down to $5.99 and my savings was ONLY $9.01 (one can get spoiled with such low prices).
Now for the best part...this shopping extravaganza cost me only $30.42 and my savings was out of this world as I tell you I saved $146.40. That is one awesome jackpot to hit!!!
Luck was on my side, perseverance was pushing me on and the luck of the draw as to what I might find was my light at the end of this thrilling, exhilarating and spirited tunnel.
