Re: Recent Purchases
Good job! I was going to wait til Monday, but if I get time later I'll post.
Edit: I really, really love that last JCP sweater you posted!
We bought three Wii games (Madden 11, Donkey Kong Country Returns, and Goldeneye). I bought two gifts for Jeff that I'm not going to share (who knows if he comes here?)
From Express, 30% off (DAMN you and your lying flyer):
From J.Crew, 25% off (and the first too were an additional 40% off from factory prices):
We also bought frames from Target for some of the prints we're giving as gifts, and some pre-paid mailers to send out our photobooks. I just need wrapping paper and I'm done with my shopping!
ETA: We also bought a digital picture frame for Jeff's parents. He's in charge of choosing gifts for his two brothers and one of their GFs. Aaaand I went back and browsed the Express sale section and got some more stuff for an extra 40% off. It's bad, but I spend more on myself than anyone else at the holidays, partly because of the deals and also because I have a sweater addiction. If all these sales happened during the summer, it would be NBD because I don't give two schits about tank tops.
I'm curious to see if the sweater fits and if it really looks anything like the one in the picture. Its from the Juniors section and usually when I get something from there I end up returning it.
I really like the last one you posted from J Crew.
I only have two gifts left to get. I'm waiting on another really good Shutterfly sale to get my mom a photobook and I need to pick up something for one of my friends kids. Oh and stocking stuffers for H, but thats easy, its just chocolate.

Wow...Looks like you did some damage. I'm too tired to post eveything I got. But the purchase I'm most excited about is this Dooney & Bourke Handbag I got at TJMaxx for $99.95.
So tired from all the shopping. Off to have a margarita...or two.
I almost forgot, I bought stuff from VS the other day too!
I got a free scarf that's too boring to show, 5 pairs of cheekies for $25, and these:
I had to resist buying more. I'm telling you, I am ADDICTED to sweaters.
Edit: oh yeah, here is the stuff I got for 40% off from Express:
Ok, ready? I got: a pair of Tori Burch flats (blue with gold buckle), a shimmery silver sweater from Kenneth Cole, a black lacey shirt and a new down jacket from J Crew, a blue ruffle cardigan, a black tank top, a pair of black leggings, a knit winter hat, a pair of tights, and a pair of earrings from Banana Republic, and a sweater and a pair of knit slipper boots from the Gap.
DH got two new button down shirts from Kenneth Cole, two zip up sweaters, one pull over sweater and two button down shirts from Banana Republic, and a pair of jeans and a black knitted top from America Eagle.
AND we got our new Dyson Vacuum cleaner at Besy Buy!
DONE Christmas shopping for each other, now on to the deals for family, friends, etc....
haha Laura we'd make pretty dangerous shopping buddies I think!
