I keep kicking myself! So, last year, when we started our "frugal" adventure. I have only been couponing for a year. Okay, so I started couponing around September of last year. So, after Halloween we went out and bought a whole bunch of Halloween clearance. It was great! We EVEN got costumes for our kids for dirt cheap. Well, guess what? I forgot we did this. Annnnnnnd we went and bought "new" costumes for the two youngest ones this weekend! What?! I had a feeling that we already bought costumes, so my husband and I went out and looked through our Halloween stuff and sure enough, there, in the box, lie two costumes for the two little ones. Well, what do I do now? They both LOVE their new costumes. She a "Southern Belle" and he, as he would say "Dark Vader." He LOVES Star Wars. It took her FOREVER to pick out a costume. Although, NOT FRUGAL AT ALL, I think I am just going to let them keep their "new" costumes and save the "old" ones for next year, as I think they will fit them still.
I am just so frustrated. I probably paid less than $10 for the two costumes last year and wound up paying $30. Golly, I'm so mad at myself!
Well, I guess a lesson was learned here though,.........CHECK MY STOCKPILE OF HOLIDAY STUFF BEFORE BUYING!!! :)
Have you done anything like this?
Thanks!
