We didn't need to get very much on no tax weekend a few weekends ago BUT we did want to get Sara and Joshua new pairs of shoes.
We went to Rack Room Shoes first to look and pretty much knew we would be getting Sara Hailey her shoes there but wanted to look around for Josh a pair of tennis shoes. The little boy shoes were $45 a pop. Dave and I about croaked. I mean really $45 for a pair of kid's tennis shoes. While Sara and I were trying her shoes on her, one of the sales ladies came over to us and gave Sara a scratch off card for the brand of shoes she was trying on and she also thought Sara was so cute in her new shoes she had her walk around for everyone to see (very cute) Sara scratched off her card & got a $5 off coupon. I was so excited and then I read the "small print" which said on all shoes $20.00 or more and you may have guessed her shoes were $19.99.
Why do so many stores do that. I find that so funny because most stores price their items $xx.99 or $xx.97 and then send out coupons that you have to spend $xx.00 to get the discount. Always one penny off.
Anyway I ask one of the sales ladies if I would be able to use the coupon being that is was just 1 penny short to qualify for the coupon and the manager was walking by and said I could! SCORE!!
So we got her shoes for $14.99, it sure does pay off to be a nice shopper~
Here is Joshua with his great shoes that Dave found at Walmart the same day. They were $15.00 and fit so good, so much better than the $45 pairs at Rack Room. His little toes were getting squished in his other tennis shoes. And of course they are Cars.
He is very proud of his new tennis shoes and has told everyone that his daddy picked them out for him!
