The more you buy the more you save......

Its been a great day here in Cheyenne...I went to work this morning...took a nap outside on our outside sofa...and finished the day with going back to work at our office at the mall...Collin is on a bike ride and this evening we are attending our La Leche class....unfortunately our office at the mall is in close proximity to the Gymboree baby store.....wow they have a pretty good marketing scheme going on.....and of course I fall for it hook...line...and...sinker...everytime...as I walk into the store I am feeling like I have control...there really isn't anything I need unless its like 60% or 70% off then I would consider it...the next thing you know the sales clerk come up to me and gives me this coupon for the day...I open up my coupon and find my saving to be a additional 30% off everything in the store....my eyes light up....my heart begins to race...and I am beginning to lose control....I manage to only look at the discount racks..first starting at the 60% off rack...I find a very cute pair of pants and a sweater for this fall for him... they were marked down to like $7.00 a piece...this is feeling pretty good....so I then venture over to the 30% off rack...I find a little cotton outfit....it was like $12.00 and here is where everything begins to fall apart....as I am looking at the 30% off rack I am looking for a overall short set....they have them but not in the size I want for Dylan....I don't really have any dress up outfits for Dylan as a newborn up to 3 months...I know I really don't need them...that sleepers and onesies is really what he will live in.....but I want at least one really cute dress up outfit for him....and here is the big slip...I am no longer searching the discount racks... but I am now just searching for a really cute over all set....and with that of course I fall in love with a new arrival....you know what that means....it means its not on sale.....full price at Gymboree will just about make you choke....and here it is...I snatch up the overalls, the matching onesie, the socks, and of course the matching hat...after all I still have my 30% coupon.....I quickly put everything on the counter...wanting her to ring it in quickly before I figure out how much I have spent...before the guilt begins to set in....I must say I was fairly relieved with what I had spent....not nearly as bad as I thought it might be.....and as I lam leaving the store...the clerk informs me that I have earned Gymboree bucks.....that I can use on my next purchase at Gymboree...basically I get $25.00 off of any $50.00 purchase...how will I be able to pass up such a savings............these Gymboree people are pure evil......the personal turmoil I feel every time I go in to this store...its awful yet I am always drawn back....the more you buy the more you save......its a dangerous love hate relationship I share with Gymboree....
