Hey everyone! So I didn't have work today because they were supposed to cut the power to the trailers which we work out of, but something happened and they didn't, but I wasn't supposed to go to work (a friend told me the power was on anyways) and no one knows I know. So no email, no calls, no work for me!

After watching the end of Let's Make a Deal and the beginning of The Price is Right, I headed out to do some shopping. I'm going to have to take pictures and add them along the way.

First stop: Shaw's (local grocery chain) they are having a deal where for every $100 in gift cards you buy you get $10 for a Shaw's gift card. You can combine up to 5 vouchers, meaning you can get $50 on a gift card at a time. The voucher states 1 voucher per transaction per day. So I understand only the first $100 in gift cards would make the voucher print out, but can I keep getting gift cards on the same day and get more vouchers? I bought only $100 in Disney gift cards. I'll go in again tomorrow until the deal ends on the 17th and pick up $100 in Disney gift cards per day or until I feel like I got enough. I'm using credit cards (Disney Visa, etc) so I get the points for the cards, plus the $10 in free grocery money.

Then I made a return, got lunch at Chessecake (they now have spiked milkshakes which I can't wait to try and I don't drink)

Then to Nordstrom rack, Target (first batch of pictures to be taken), then Old Navy, and Marshalls
From Target:

On the way home I stopped at another Marshalls (can't wait to show you guys what I found here!)
From Marshalls:

Off to take photos and update this post!

Sounds like a productive shopping day; can't wait to see the photos.

 

[shocky5]

Looks like a fun day off from work! Great purchases!!! Can't wait to see more!!

 

[KatMark]

LOVE LOVE LOVE the t-shirts. But I REALLY the suitcase.

I have bags filled with treats and things for each trip to bring down. There is a similar shirt to the I heart Minnie at Old Navy which is I heart Mickey, but it was $16.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the t-shirts. But I REALLY the suitcase.

I'm going back tonight to see if they still have the 21" version. I bought the 26". They also had the 30"!

 

[annmarieda]

OMG!! That suitcase is sooo cute. Marshalls??? I may need to run down there.

I'd call them and see if they have it. I had been to two Marshalls and a TJ Maxx because I decided my neon orange suitcase needed upgrading. I was shocked to find this luggage by my house. I now have the 21" & 26" sitting in my living room. I so want to go back and get the 30" but its taller and wider and $99.99 before tax.

30 DAYS!!!!!!!

Actually I fly out in 29 days, but I'm just going straight to Pop to sleep the night (nothing Disney that day except the ME and where I sleep), in the am I have to change my voucher for a pass, check out and hustle my butt to HS so I can play TSM.

Oh yeah! I forgot to add, no one else has tickets, so I'm not sure how many days we're going now, plus we don't have MNNSHP tickets yet, because we haven't picked a day and we don't have costumes picked out. If you can help me think up a costume for three people (1 guy, 2 girls) preferrable light weight t shirt easy to wear variety, that would be great!

Countdowns:
Trip #1 - 30 days
Trip #2 - 85 days
Trip #3 - 113 days

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

Yay for 30 days left!!!

 

[KatMark]

Glad you got the second piece of luggage.

And here's to 30 days:

Thanks! At one point I was thinking (when there was four of us) P+F and Candance and Isabella. I think you were affecting my thinking that day!

Glad you got the second piece of luggage.

And here's to 30 days:

Look who's talking Miss 8 days left! I can't believe BF let me get it! He then asked which are you going to keep or are you keeping both. Silly boy with a silly question. I can't wait to start packing!

I had Kira stop into one for me since she works right next door to one.... sadly no luck. Oh well, I can just admire yours.

I have a feeling you will be seeing it in December! We're thinking costumes that aren't really costumes since its supposed to be almost as hot as it was at Labor Day last year. So it woudl work, but packing those, plus dying in the heat doesn't work for us.

29 days!!!

Thanks! I have three Target bags filled with things for each trip. Now my parents are coming down next weekend so everything has to move upstairs in the room they are not staying in. So I better start getting organized and ready to pack! Do you think 18..... no wait 20 Disney shirts for one week is over kill? I mean I'm not sure which one I'm going to want to wear on any given day!

 

[tankgirl427]

Ohhhhhh! Look my first ticker no longer says X number of months, its down to weeks!!!!!

 

[KatMark]

You crack me up. I had 12 packed and my DH looked at me like I was nuts. He says, "honey, we're only going to the parks for five days, why 12 Disney shirts when you need shirts for Marco too?" He has a point, but, like you, I have no idea which one I want to wear and I may want to wear one in the morning and a different one in the evening.

Oh! I hadn't thought abotu possibly wearing two shirts in a day! You can teach me so much! Now I need more Disney shirts! Maybe I should look at shorts since I only have 2 pairs I wear, or just bring those two so I have more room for shirts?

Now that's a good plan too.

See, what I didn't tell hubby, is that Andy is not flying down until the Tuesday after we get there and he won't have that much stuff. Therefore, I'm going to give him my Marco Island shirts to bring with him, and I'll send home the Mickey ones when he leaves us.
