Shopping Dilemma


So does anyone else have inner conversations when they shop at the glorious store that is Bath and Body Works?
New! Escape to the Tropics > Shop now.

(By the way, I just discovered the new flavor Rumberry, in the picture above, it's divine, you should go smell it.)

Anyways, on my shopping spree this morning, my intention was just to buy some lotion and shower gel for the guest bathroom, since my mom is coming to visit on Thursday. Yippee! As I was in the store, I had an inner argument with myself that went a little bit like this:

Ok, Sara try not to spend too much money. We just need some shower gel and lotion.

Oh, look at all these new flavors!

No.

Oh, look! 4 of the hand soaps for $20!

Well, we are running low in both bathrooms, and it would be nice to get some soap that matches the color theme....

Done. What flavors? Oh look, lavender and coconut, green and purple for the guest bathroom, and here's a white one and blue one for the master.

But I really don't need 4 bottles of soap...

Yes you do.

Well, ok.

Now that we got that covered, look at the shower gels! It's buy 3 get 2 free! Or buy 2 get one free!

But I don't need all that shower gel. And my mom's not moving in, just visiting. Besides I'm trying to use up the shower gel I have before I get some new ones.

Oh, but come on. Your mother-in-law is coming next month, and her favorite flavor happens to be green, so you can get a purple flavor for your mom!

But they can totally share shower gel.

That way, you can get 4, and that leaves one left over for one for you to choose! And look at all these new flavors they have... don't you want to smell some?

I guess.

Look! This purple flavor smells pretty delicious and will match the guest bathroom! And the White Citrus is over. What flavor do you want!

I DON'T NEED ALL OF THIS!

WHICH FLAVOR DO YOU WANT?

This rumberry does make me all smiley inside.

Done. Let's go. You're not spending THAT much money.


Fifty dollars later...


Matt's going to kill me.

Psh, whatever. He just told you the other day that you never spend money, so you've got some making up to do.

That doesn't mean I NEED to spend money.

Sure it does. Oh well, what's done is done. Your mom and mother-in-law will enjoy their shower times at your house now.

Man, I sure hope so :) And let me point out to y'all that this was an INNER argument. It's only a matter of time, though, before it becomes audible, I'm sure :)

  1. And that is why I avoid going into our Bath and Body Works....my conversation would be audible.
