Super haul!

What a bargainous (is that even a word? It feels right!) shopping trip I had the other day! Jeez-oh. I actually didnt spend that much considering how much stuff I came home with. I felt like I needed a little spree before starting back uni and the – groan – the ‘saving’ begins. I’m gonna be a good girl this year, work as much as I can in the cafe bar without destroying my social life and time with david, or interfering with academic matters (haa ha) And I also plan to spend less, or be less frivolous with my spending patterns, as one would say! So hopefully by next summer after my 21st birthday in june, my travelling funds = muchos! But anyhoo, onto the haul…

Now, this is the shocker. We went to the Matalan clearance store – which I had been to before but obviously caught it on a bad day and it was rubbish. But this time I was very pleased with what I saw! Some of the stuff was crap, but some of it was very very good, as you can see from the three skirts and the dress pictured above! Not bad eh? This place was full of bargains as you would expect from a clearance store, but I was completely shocked when I got to the checkout and my bill was only £8!!! For all this stuff!? Itemised it was £2 per item, which I didn’t even realise when I picked them up and tried them on. I knew it would be cheap, but not that cheap. So as you can imagine I left the shop with a smile on my face and a wee spring in my step haha 🙂 Sad that a girl would get this excited over a few bargains eh. But I tell you what, I’m gonna grudge paying the norm for your average skirt or dress from the likes of H&M, Topshop, River Island etc from now on! So I’ll defo be giving this place a visit again, and maybe exploring charity shops and vintage stores a wee bit more now. Such a great feeling finding a wee hidden gem or a great bargain on a spontaneous shopping trip, Im sure most girls would agree 🙂
