I hate to shop, don't go to malls. My best friend, Becky, is a really savvy shopper, who finds the best deals and goes to the after-holiday sales. Today I accompanied her to the Town Center Mall, where I haven't visited in at least three years, LOL. We only went to one store, Macys, and before entering she gave me a coupon for extra 20% off, and which could be re-used all day. I did make some purchases of things marked down 50-60%, then the extra 20% off. Kind of fun! But the real education was watching Becky buy things marked down 75%, then using an additional coupon for one-time $10 off each item. She got one item for $0!!!

I heard one news report that such stores are trying to rid themselves of unsold inventory, even if it means a loss. Sad, in that respect.

No, I still don't enjoy shopping, but it was quite an experience shopping with Becky.
