Finish Line & Belks Deals!

So......I have been holding on to most of my Christmas cash...Let me preface that we save 80% of all checks/cash we get during the Holiday's and we each split the rest between my hubby and I.  So today with all my coupons I headed to the mall with a mission to complete....NEW running shoes!  I did not have any type or brand in mind, just comfort for what I intended to do with the shoes....some jogging.  I tried on 6 pairs and at the end of the day the most comfy pair was a pair of Reebok's AND they were $69 on sale ($20 bucks off).  I had only planned to get the shoes and some comfy inserts ($20) but with my handy coupon I had, I got 2 packs of socks (6 pair total), and a Live Strong bracelet in which I gave to the kids ALL FOR $88 out the door! 
 Of course my cash budget for shoes was $125 so that meant I had $36 and change left over to browse the Belk sale (all sale items extra 40% off plus 20% off coupon).  So I drug the kids through the Juniors Dept and found a great long sweater, black leggings (I could use another pair of those anyhow), and a purple and black dress all for work/church and a cute pair of button style earrings for $36.56 out the door!   Needless to say all my Christmas cash is gone!
