Mom is definitely always right!

One of the things I miss most about my Mom is going shopping together. I'm very blessed to have a daughter of my own that I can go shopping with now. I will always remember something my Mom told me about shopping. "If it's not on sale, you don't need it". I've always agreed with her on that! It has definitely saved me some money over the years.

I saw this lamp set @ Walmart months ago & totally fell in love with it. I wanted it so badly! I knew it'd match our family room furniture perfectly! It's a set of 4 - 1 floor lamp & 3 table lamps. It was $65 though. As much as I wanted it, I didn't want to spend that much on it.

We're @ Walmart alot since we do our grocery shopping there & live right across the street from one. A couple weeks ago, I was there & noticed that the set was down to $54. I almost bought it then because I still wanted it do badly & it was already marked down $11. I decided to keep waiting. There were quite a few left & if waiting a few more weeks meant saving more money then I could wait.

I was at Walmart last night in search of some scrapbook supplies. While I was walking around I saw the lamp set again. I haven't seen it @ this Walmart lately so I thought they were gone. There were 3 left & down to only $40! That was it! I had to buy them! That's only $10 a lamp! I bought them & brought them home to proudly show Garyn.

I only set up the floor lamp today because I bought them for the family room & we don't have any place to put the table lamps. So those will go into storage. Garyn thought only 2 came in the pack so he was really happy to hear that I paid $40 for 4 lamps instead of $40 for 2 lamps! I got them all put together & set up the floor lamp & called Garyn inside to see them. His face was priceless! I love how much he's really getting into decorating the house since it's something I love to do! He was going on about how awesome the lamps are & how great they match!

Now that I have it set up, I realized that I was right. They match the furniture so well! Little things like this just make me realize that I feel like I'm making the right choice in wanting to go to school to be an Interior Designer. I picked the program & now just need to save up the money. I love my new lamps! Thank you so much, Garyn! I can't wait to use the other 3!
