Who said Friday the 13th was unlucky?

Ah, it's so nice to see that at the bottom of your receipt...

Today was the first day of the tax-free weekend (Aug 13-15) in South Florida! Now, it's only applicable to clothing/shoes/handbags under $50 and school supplies under $10, unfortunately not for beauty supplies, but it's still reason enough to go shopping. I headed out this afternoon to fight the crowds of elementary school kiddies and their parents to see if I could find some good stuff! Pretty much everything I got was on sale or I had a coupon for so I got a lot of discounts and ended up saving a total of $46.21 from the 3 stores that I went to. (The prices I list will be how much I paid for this stuff.) Tomorrow, we'll see if I have enough energy to muster up the courage to brave the people at the mall. I want to get some more clothes (haha)!

Here's my haul!

FROM TARGET:

dress $3.75, boxer shorts $5, sports bra $14.99

I love this Venus Embrace Razor $4.39 (cartridges $12.49) - seriously, the smoothest shave you'll ever get and your skin feels great after. I had a coupon to get a free Olay body lotion with the razor and I ran out of mascara so I decided to pick these up these two to try out. Covergirl lashblast waterproof - $2.07, L'Oreal voluminous - $3.88 (got both in Black Brown)

These 1-subject Five Star notebooks are only $1 each!

On to PAYLESS:

Shoes - $29.99, flip flops - $3 (original prices)

After BOGO + 20% off coupon, I paid $25.19 total for these 2 items.

Shoes on my feet, haha. These are soooo comfortable and fit my feet perfectly. It's rare that I'm able to find shoes that fit my size 5 feet so I had to get them. Now.. I only need to find somewhere I can wear these babies.

I also went to Walgreens but I just needed some more contact solution. There's a lot of L'oreal stuff on sale there right now actually. $5 lipsticks, anyone?

UPDATE: Went to the mall today 8/14. Got these at Forever 21 - jeggings $15.80, tank/dress $9.80 (but mine is navy blue + silver striped), and an thin orange long sleeved shirt ($8.80)
