Score!

Stephen got me this awesome sweater dress for Christmas, but it was just a little bit too small. In the bag with the dress, he got a coupon for 40% off a regularly priced item good for the first Wednesday of the month. Instead of returning the dress right after Christmas, I decided to risk them not having my size and the dress being on sale to try and get the dress 40% off...AKA cash back in addition to the awesome dress! 

After school on Wednesday I headed off to Southpoint. When I got to the store, I returned the dress first just in case they wouldn't let me do my sneaky bargain shopping. While I was returning it, the cashier explained they had just gotten in a lot of new stuff so they had a lot of older stuff on sale. I got a little worried, but thought I'd still give it a try. I wandered the store and found the dress in my size in the middle of all of the clearance items. After looking more closely, I realized my dress wasn't on sale

So, I re-bought the dress using the 40% off coupon and used the extra cash to get some new make-up! Score #1!

I also had to return some DVDs my Mom got me for Christmas. She got me 2 seasons of Friends on DVD that we also got from someone else. When I got to Barnes and Noble (who knew they sold TV series on DVD??), they were having a buy two get one free sale on all DVDs. So, I returned my current 2 DVDs, and then bought 3 new seasons for the price of 2, which also completed our Friends collection! Score #2 and 3!

Lastly, I went to Belk to get a blender. We still had some money left on gift cards from the wedding. A lot of their blenders were about $100, but I found one that was priced around $70, which was still a little more than I wanted to spend, but I went ahead and got it. They were also have a sale where all frames were 50% off. When I checked out, the blender was also 50% off. Score #4 and 5.

I left very proud of my bargain shopping for the day!
