Back To School Shopping

Well it's that time again for Back To School Shopping

It's was a TAX FREE holiday here in VA and I took full advantage

I decided last year that I was going to make school shopping easier on my budget by creating an actual school shopping budget and saving for it throughout the year.  I completed a spending analysis last year on what I spent in clothes and divided it by the amount of pay periods and had that amount set aside in savings each paycheck before I could even touch it! 


This plan worked out GREAT! I decided I was heading to the outlets for my school shopping (They have the Best Sales) and went to the bank and pulled out the money I had saved all year for the school clothes shopping and I left all credit cards at home! No Add'l Debt for me!
 

Big A and Little A both picked out clothes of their choosing and a pair of converse and Jordan's for their fly footgear of course!




I feel so weird having finished my school shopping with no additional debt tacked on and I am completely done a month earlier than school begins!!! It's such a wonderful feeling I think I'm going to burst inside!



Well I think that's all for my blog today until next time fellow Bloggers!
