Day 28: Favorite places to shop

This one will be easy!

Clothes for me: Banana Republic Outlet, GAP Outlet, Express, Ann Taylor Loft Outlet, Target.  I guarantee that at least 75% of my wardrobe comes from these stores.  Hopefully one day I’ll be able to afford the non-outlet versions and non-clearance rack clothes :)

Clothes for Adeline (and Bobby): Gymboree, Baby GAP, The Children’s Place Outlet.  I only shop the sale and clearance racks though, I will not pay full price for kids clothes.

Groceries: Kroger, but not the one here in Newport News.  Its too far away and its not very nice.  I have to settle for Harris Teeter (which is very nice, but overpriced) or Food Lion (which is not very nice AND overpriced).  I don’t mind Wal-Mart, but it is also quite a drive from my house here.

Everything Else: Amazon.  Seriously, I love shopping online.  I rely on reviews for everything and we have Amazon Prime, so we get free 2 day shipping on pretty much everything we buy.  Plus, things are usually pretty cheap.  If I see something I like in a store, I will look it up on Amazon while in the store to see if it has good reviews and if its cheaper online.  I have even bought stuff online from Amazon while in a store looking at it on the shelf.  The poor UPS people probably hate us.  They have to pack up a whole box and ship it, just to send us a pen.  Really, Rob got a delivery from UPS the other day of a pen.  Well, actually it was a pen refill, so it wasn’t even the whole pen.  But we didn’t have to search all over the stores for it or leave our house or anything.  What could be easier?

Love shopping online. I have recently become addicted to eBay. (Ryan is obsessed with Thomas the Train and you can get the new stuff for cheap on eBay for some reason). And I also pretty much shop at all the same stores as you. Too bad you aren't closer and we can't go shopping together. And let me say again. I AM LOVING the 50 days of blogging. I am going to be so sad when its over!!
