The Mother Load!!!!

This week I decided to go to Jo-Ann's in Idaho Falls so I could get a remnant to make a baby gift. (Everybody here is having kids) I drive up and see huge yellow signs everywhere saying that they're closing. I already knew they're moving to a bigger location I just didn't realize they'd be selling stuff. I walk in and it's practically skeletons but everybody has their carts overflowing with crafting crap! Turns out everything in the store is...drum roll please....90% OFF!!!!
If you know me well you know I'm always up for a good deal...but this! This happens like once in a lifetime! I grab a cart, call Brandon and immediately ask how much I'm allowed to spend. I get a final price of $50. I start running around the store getting everything I know I will use. (Believe me I was really really good) Scrapbook paper, ribbon, buttons, remnants, material, you name it! They were kind of low on stuff but I was so excited. I get to the register feeling guilty. My total comes to $300and something. Then she presses the magic button and I only end up spending $19.77! I drive home and start to feel like I didn't get enough stuff so Brandon takes me back down that night and we get even more stuff! This time though the guy rang us up for less than half of the stuff I grabbed. He was so nice and just wanted to get rid of it. I got home and counted 25 items paid for on the receipt. I counted an extra 38 that he didn't charge me for. AMAZING! I know I'm going a little crazy about this but hey, it happens like once right?! So now I can be a crafting maniac! Love it!!!! Here's all my loot!

Total spent: Less than $30!!!!



Can you say happy wife?
