What I did today, July 17, 2010
I spent 9.76 at a second hand clothing store on a pair of shorts and a shirt, plus 2 books,. I spent 10.31 at the grocery store for a lime, cherries, grapes, and chips. I spent 2.50 at a local bakery on frozen pizza dough.
I knew I was going out tonight and it's going to be an oven where I'm going tonight. Too hot for jeans and even capris, I only own one skirt, and its too dressy, as are my 2 dresses. I own 2 pairs of shorts one are over 20 years old, and the other pair is frumpy. I love second hand shopping, and knew what I wanted either a summery skirt or beige shorts that were not too long or too short, flat fronts, with a wide waist band. I found them! I own t-shirts, and blouses and nothing really in-between for summer. So when I spotted the polo shirt, I knew it was perfect! I also found a ton of ANN TAYLOR LOFT shirts and sweaters, but they were mediums, too small for me!
I ended up taking 40.00 out of the bank today ( I paid cash for everything), as I knew if I had cash only, I could only spend what was in my wallet. I left twenty in the car and had 35 in my wallet. I still have 30 left! ( I'm sure I'll put a big dent into that tonight).
I'm off to eat supper and continue cleaning the house. I've been taking http://www.flylady.net advice to heart, and I'm getting my house in order! 15 minutes at a time. DD's bed is cleared off, as is mine, and I'm finding homes for lots of things! I do want to find/purchase a case for my CD"S, DVD's and 2 photo boxes.

I also found a great pair of shorts and t-shirts, plus I made a trip into Costco, that was where I should have been like you and just went in with 20.00.
