Much left to be desired. – HESONWHEELS.COM

So I decided to go shopping after lunch, because I was supposed to run out and I’m almost never that way, so I decided to take advantage of a few coupons that I had.

First up, was one of my favorite stores – Express. They had a new scent that I just fell in love with when I smelled it. They have another, called Honor, that is a lot fruitier than this one. I’m big on colognes, if you didn’t know – currently I prefer Burberry Touch, as “metro” as it sounds, it’s a solid summer scent that I’ve used for years in the warmer months – and yeah, I really do dictate my cologne by that. Don’t judge. But I had a coupon for $15 off $30 and also for $30 of $75, so I saved a ton of money on both of these. On top of that, I had also been looking for a smaller, travel sized cologne for air plans so that worked out.

You can even check out my old wheelchair in the background. :)

I am obsessed with Woodwick candles – they crackle as you burn them, as the wood wick burns, so it sounds like your’e by a fire. They are getting harder and harder to find, and the Hallmark in Roanoke actually only had ONE each of three different scents. The one in Christiansburg is much better about variety – but these candles are fantastic.

I’m traveling to Greensboro this week for an Admissions visit, and decided that I wanted to invest in more orange and/or maroon ties. The result is the following. Burlington Coat Factory (and Ross) has GREAT deals on ties.

And, never being one to runaway from a good sale, I’ve had batteries on my grocery list for the longest time, and found these duracell batteries on sale at Big Lots for only two dollars a pack. I had a coupon for one dollar off any pack, and Big Lots scanned it for me three times so um HELLO super cheap batteries! :)

Overall, this shopping trip left much to be desired – I didn’t get to the mall until about 5:00 p.m., to realize that it closed at 6 o’clock, not 7 as I had assumed. :( But still got away with some good stuff. Still looking for a good deal on nice messenger bags – Burlington Coat Factory was slacking on selection. Let me know if you guys have any ideas…
