My Trip to Marshalls

I finally made it to Marshalls yesterday!!! The amazingly wonderful Victoria from Rocket XL had given me gift cards for TJ Maxx & Marshalls (is this starting to sound familiar?), so a-shopping I a-went.

I've been putting it off because I prefer my shopping online. I'm sure the fact that the closest Marshalls is about 30 miles away had nothing to do with it (Sarcasm).

M had an appointment with the doctor yesterday & wouldn't you know, there happens to be a Marshalls about 2 minutes away! What a wonderful coinkidink! Just kidding, I knew. My bff & I planned on meeting up & doing a little shopping before M's appointment, & luckily, she had to be in the area too. We spent a fun-filled hour looking around w/the kiddies in tow.

We found lots of great things (in the yummy section) that we didn't buy. She got a couple good things for cheap!

Here is what I got for $28 & change:Not too shabby, right? And practically unheard of in this day & age!

Peace & Love

My TJ Maxx Experience

Victoria from Rocket XL was sweet enough to send me gift cards for TJ Maxx & Marshalls. I am not a shopper, not really. I'm not a very good "girl", I know.

Well, today I had time (for reasons I will explain later), so I headed over to TJ Maxx. It happened to be on my way home, so it worked out perfectly!

I looked around a little, since I've only been in TJ Maxx maybe once before. They have some of the cutest things! I got out of the store spending only $45.63 (ok, $2o.63 out of pocket~Thank you again Victoria!!!)

Here's what I got:

A child-size snuggie-like blanket for M (don't tell my anti-Snuggie friends!). A cute little bunny blanket for Gena's little man, Myles (Surprises are not my thing).

Teddy w/a blanket for my bff's little Sophia & a teddy for Toys For Tots

Ipod speakers for Christy (Told you that I'm terrible with surprises)

Like I said, I'm not a shopper, but I think I did pretty well for myself!

In case you haven't already, please don't forget to check out Carol-oke! I should be getting my Vado soon, so I may enter myself (or trick M into it)!

Next time I go shopping, I'm going to check out Marshalls!

Peace & Love
