Samantha Shopping

Yesterday after the Cougar game, we went over to Ron's grandfather's house. Ron's Grandpa has moved into a retirement home and Ron's sister, Sheri, has moved into his house and has been organizing everything for a garage sale this weekend. When we left we ended up taking our neice, Alaina with us. She and Samantha are great buddies and so we decided she should come over and spend the night.

We picked up Cody and his friend Jessie from our house and went to El Toro for dinner. We put quite a dent in the entertainment budget with that one.

So today Samantha and I went shopping for her fall clothes. We brought Alaina with us. Here is the damage:

Nordstom
Shoes $45.95
Socks $3.50
Tax 4.35
Lunch $21.00
Smocked babydoll shirt $20.00
Stretch pants $22.00
Dress $34.00
2 tops @ $22.50 ea
Cord skirt $32.50
Skirt $28.50
Top $17.50
Jeans $34.50
Tax $20.59
Snack $15.07
Tips $8.00

The Children's Place
Rhinestone Tee $7.13
Jeans $22.12
2 pairs of tights $2.50 ea
2 pairs of socks $1.50 ea
Tax $3.28

Pumpkin Patch
5 pk panties $17.50
Skinny rib top $9.75
Coat $42.50
Pleated skirt $25.50
Tights $9.50
Tax $113.97

Gumballs $.50

Grand Total = $522.53 EEK!

So I blew the budget on this and I'm going to have to take stuff back. The trip to Pumpkin Patch was a total spur of the moment binge. If I take those things back that takes me down to $408.56. If I take the stuff back to Children's Place then I'm down to $368.03. That gets me under budget but she'll still need panties, tights, socks and a coat. Hmmm. I'm going to have to ponder this. Maybe one of the skirt outfits can go back to Nordie's.

The only other thing we spend money on today was ice cream. So here's where we are at:
