So, Bert and I ventured into TSWLTH as I had a 40% coupon off one item, and a 10% off the entire bill and Sulky thread was 50% off and greenery was
50-60% off.We had gotten rid of the plants above the entry closet. Climbing on a ladder to water them was no fun anymore, so we're transitioning to fake.
I wanted a small cutting mat, 12 in square for near my sewing machine to cut small things while sewing, and with the ironing pad on the other I can press with my small iron without in and out of the room and blocking the door with the ironing board down, etc. and that was 40% off.
I also had some some machine embroidery designs that I wanted to do, but needed a few thread colors, and the exact colors were needed because of the shading and those were 50% off. Well, my list of thread colors has slowly been filled out and Bert kept looking up numbers and throwing spools into the cart. Let's just say that with all my digits exposed, I can almost count the few colors left that I don't have.
I used the first coupon on a rack for my rulers since I have quite a few now, and that is on top of the file cabinet within reach.
So, when all was said and done, I achieved nearly 60% off on my total bill. Thank goodness since nearly $285 was quite enough to spend, but the thread was even cheaper for a change than the on-line place I usually use. But, I just got paid for a graphic design/conference program I created so actually I didn't spend any money out of pocket. I still was able to put some in savings.
All in all a good shopping moment, but totally decadent. Now I just have to put all those spools of thread away in my numbered shop drawers.
Off to more sewing adventures.
