My Big Purchase

I am a frugal person. Some may even call me cheap. Corey makes fun of me because I get excited about finding a good deal at the grocery store and I always register for freebies online. I get these wonderful samples in the mail. Samples of cereal, shampoo, lotion, toothpaste, coffee, granola bars....I use most of them too. And some of them are great travel sizes for camping, so my husband really should appreciate my efforts.

One thing I have learned from Corey and from experience though is that sometimes the saying "you get what you pay for" really rings true. And sometimes saving money is really not a savings at all. It is for that reason, that I finally gave up my $1 (One Spot at Target) flip-flops. Tired of having sore feet all summer (I spend a lot of time in those cheap flip-flops), I took a trip to the Crocs kiosk at Jordan Creek and splurged on these beautiful cotton candy and chocolate (not to be mistaken with pink and brown) flip-flops. They will get a nice trial run at the end of the month when Corey and I take our 10th anniversary trip to Hawaii!
