$0.42 for a sweater dress? Why yes, I think I will!

I just have to share my most recent super score. I know that part of this challenge was to not buy anymore clothing but since $0.42 rounds down to zero, I consider this purchase free :)

As a Kohl's charge card holder, I receive coupons in the mail on a regular basis. Sometimes the coupons rock, other times they suck and are nothing more than an evil ploy to get you in the store and buy crap you don't need. However, on this occasion, the coupon was actually for 30% off a purchase, which I consider to be pretty darn good. I knew there was a sweater dress I wanted - in fact, I'd been eyeing the same dress for weeks wondering when/how I would make the purchase - so when this coupon came in the mail I knew I had my answer. I paired the coupon with a gift card I'd been holding onto for months and as a result I walked away with an absolutely adorable sweater dress! SCORE!!

This is one of my favorite sale stories to tell and people are truly amazed. What can I say? I take sale shopping, coupon-ing (yes, I created another verb) and saving money very seriously. Well, at least now I do. Ask me what a sale or a coupon was 10 years ago and I would've looked at you with a look of sheer confusion and been appalled that anyone would have to use a coupon or shop the sale rack. Does this mean I'm getting old???

Here's to savvy shopping!
