Retail Therapy

Well, since the dentist was near by, I made a quick stop at the mall to get a birthday gift for myself. I have the Body Shop gift card so I get a $10 present for my birthday. Oh happy day! I usually just get a little something, but they were having an insane sale. It was a "green bag sale". They had these green gift bags that you bought for $5, and anything that fit inside would be 50%. If you do the math, if you bought anything over $10, you would save money. So I figured, I would stock up on a few presents. Plus, as with any good Body Shop promotion, a portion went to charity. So, I took a few laps around the store and then headed to the register. To my surprise, I was informed that I was also eligible for my 4 point discount, which I'm still not too sure on the details. The bottom line being that I would get $15 free stuff, but with the 50%, it meant I could get $30 free stuff. So, I was set free into the store again to get something for me (as everything else had been for other people). When I finally finished, the girl smiles at me frm behind the counter and says, "Wait till you see your receipt. You got a better discount than we do!" So, at the end of the day, with the
-50% green bag sale
-10% card discount
-$10 birthday discount
-$15- 4 points discount
I made off like a bandit! What would have been $95 before taxes, only cost me $25.14 total!!! Couldn't even get this price at the drug store!
