On Monday I went to JCPenney's in the hope of finding a couple of camis for layering. I searched high and low for my much needed camis. (When one has a long torso, layering shirts is a must!) As I was looking, there were tons of sale racks. This, my friends, is a very dangerous thing for me because I'm always up for a deal. To keep myself from going on a shopping spree, I avoided most of them...except for one.
In a corner stood a rack with a sign on it proclaiming: "LAST CHANCE! $0.97 sale!" This, I could not pass up. After perusing the rack, I quickly saw why the items were 97 cents; practically everything was an extra small, except for a teal sweater coat. I snatched it up and tried it on. It fit beautifully. Not exactly a cami, but definitely a deal.
With my prize in hand, I continued to search for what I was actually planning to buy. I didn't find them until I got to the register. The camis cost $18 each! What on earth? There's no way I'm paying 18 dollars for a little shirt that no one will see.
After deciding that I'd have to search for camis elsewhere, I proceeded to the check out and realized that I didn't have any cash. Not even a cent. So I paid for it with my debit card!
The sales clerk was amused by the whole thing, and I believe that will be the smallest transaction I'll ever make with a debit card.
The moral of the story is, always have at least a debit card on you! However, cash would be better...
