Recessionista Files

This is actually a re-post from my Tumblr blog. I'm an avid bargain shopper & a sucker for a real deal. This post chronicles a chance Target shopping trip last summer. Enjoy!
 
 
 
Recessionista Files…. What $250 will buy
 
 
After grilling, eating & just enjoying a day with the family this Memorial Day I decided to do a little shopping. Really I was going to pick up a few things I’d seen in the sales ad & ended up with so much more than I bargained for.
 
 
After carefully sifting through the clearance racks I literally ditched the ad items. Here are pictures of MOST of what I got for my $250. Everything you see came from the clearance racks with the exception of two items.
 
What you don’t see in these pics is one pair of Converse OneStar leather oxfords, 1 embroidered BoHo style top, and 2 summer dresses I bought for my older daughters (1 each).
 
The finds that I am most proud of are the 2 Kimono Maxi dresses which were only $5.56 each! Items marked down simply because they were online purchases returned in-store.

 All and all I scored 4 dresses, 4pair of shorts, 4 tees, 1 swimsuit, & 1 pair of sandals for my 8yr old.



 For myself I got 7 dresses (incl the maxi dresses & 1 not shown), 1 top, 1 pair of denim Capri’s, & one pair of awesome wedges. Lets not forget about the other items listed above that are also not shown.... (one pair of Converse OneStar leather oxfords, 1 embroidered BoHo style top, and 2 addtl summer dresses)
