Black Friday Math

"It's not how much you spend, it's how much you $AVE!"

This is about the stupidest math ever perpetrated on the free world.

And I'm guilty of buying into it. Early this morning, before I would normally have finished my first pot of coffee, I was out and among 'em at the mall saving money like nobody's business. I saved:

• 1st Stop: $600-$129=$471.00 twice. (I bought the same thing for 2 people) for a total of $942.00!
• 2nd Stop: $165-$82.50=$82.50, plus $235-$35=$200 by buying the make up kit at the same time I bought my mom's favorite Este Lauder fragrance. Total Saved=$282.50. (Plus a free purple bag.)
• 3rd Stop: $649-$324.50=$324.50 on a new coat I just had to have for myself. After all, Charity starts at home, right?
• 4th Stop: Three each of $130-$29=$101 for a total of $303.00
• 5th Stop: $49 because I bought one and got one free!!

There were more stops and more savings, but just in my first five stops I saved over $1900.00.

Are you impressed?

I wonder how long it will take to pay for all of my savings today!
