My favorite game...

I have this little game that I like to play very much. It is called: How Much Can Courtney Get For $20. The rules are simple: Courtney has $20. She must spend that $20 (because that's how I roll). She must get as much possible for that $20.

I am the reining queen of it.

Sure, sure, the game might be a bit biased toward myself, but I can't help it. It's just how it is.

Because I am so secure in my winner-status, I felt that I could share some of my spoils with all my friends...

Let's start with Kohl's. Oh, how I love me a good Kohl's clearance rack. Who doesn't? Today I discovered this gem of a dress that I've had my eye on for about 4 months now, just waiting for the right moment. And that moment came today. $13.80. It was on the 80% off rack, so I don't think that it would go lower.

Then these two packs of socks that came with six pair each. 12 pairs of super-cute socks for a mere $4.40? Awesome.

And these cutsie panties (which I am sure one day my girls will die in embarrassment when they find that I posted these for the blogging world to oggle at). Mudd brand- which usually go for 4 for $9.
There was a 15% off coupon used also... so cha-ching!

Then I went to the D.I. and found these wonderful Old Navy distressed jeans with flowers on the back pocket and leather detailing. For $3. And yes, I can see my lil' sis cringing while she reads this. But, Whit my dear, they are being washed as I type.

OK, I might have *stretched* the rules a bit and had to scrounge for quarters to make up the $1.67 difference, but still. A gorgeous dress, 12 pairs of socks, 4 pairs of underwear, and Old Navy Jeans for $21.67?

I still rein supreme.

****Post Edit*****

After I got home from Kohly's, I discovered a lovely $10 gift certificate there in my Inbox.

WAHOO!! So back to Kohls I went ('cause I had to go while my 15% off coupon was still good).

So, I ended up spending $2.71 and got the following awesome stuff:


*A pair of Tony Hawk shoes for Porter-Pot
*12 pair of sockies for the girlies

Thank you, thank you.

wow....you are awesome. I envy you. I don't have anywhere to shop close by so when I want to shop I have to plan out a trip and an 1 1/2 hour drive just one way. No FAIR!!! Adorable dress by the way!!

Look at you go! That dress looks perfect for a Fancy Nancy Birthday Party. How did you know that I would cringe? You must know me too well.
