The Mall vs the Wal-Mart

I've been on a mission for socks for Jedidiah. We bought socks at Wal-Mart that are too big for him, but he's been wearing them anyway. This grates on me.

I have priced socks - ankle socks - at Target, The Children's Place, Old Navy, GAP, and Wal-Mart. The socks Wal-Mart had were not really what I wanted, but they were priced 6 for $6.50. Not bad.  $1.08 a pair. 

I like my boys' socks to all be the same so I don't have to go crazy matching them! 

I remembered that The Children's Place (my new favorite place to buy clothes for my little guys) had a sale: 10 pairs of socks for $10.  That's a savings of $.08 per pair of socks. Worth it? 

It was when I matched their sale with their 15% off entire purchase coupon. Get yours here. Exp. 9/1.

Paid $26.34 for $45.99 worth of clothes!

I was able to buy 10 pairs of socks for Jedidiah, cleaning them out of the 12-24 month size in all white in the process. With my 15% off coupon, all the socks, normally $2.50 each, came to $.85 a pair. 

Wal-Mart price:  $1.08 per pair.  

The Children's Place:  $.85 per pair. 

Saved almost a quarter per pair of socks!

I also picked up another outfit for Jedidiah and a shirt for Jeremy. In all, my bill went from $45.99 to $26.34!!!!  I'm going back to get socks for Jeremy, too! (They even have the size on the socks so you can easily sort them. What a time-saver for me!)

My next stop was Bath & Body Works. They sent me two great coupons in the mail, so I had to use them! I got a free travel-sized body mist (perfect for sticking in my purse) and 20% off my entire order, including the sale items. 

The sale items happened to be 7 hand soaps for $20, or $2.86 each (normally $5 each).  Take an additional 20% off and you have a very happy customer. I purchased a car freshener (not pictured) as well.

Purchased $45 worth of product for $21.40!!!

I stopped at the wonderful Victoria's Secret to get my free panty (retail $8.50) and left the mall feeling very happy. 

My savings today was over $51!!
