Cathy: $400 for last spring's "timeless classic" jacket. Out of style before the first bill came. $350 for excruciating boots that I bought too small because the tiny size made my feet look cuter. $220 for a blouse bought on on a frappuccino rush. Felt too guilty to ever wear it. $320 for stretch satin holiday pants. Looked fabulous for six minutes in the dressing room. Haven't been zipped up since... $180 for last summer's "goes with anything" sweater that looks terrible with everything I own... $130 for a pasta maker that made pasta once... $340 for a thigh machine that's shoved in a closet. $20 for a bottle of shampoo that gave me a 48-hour "herbal fragrance" headache the only time I tried it... $18 for lipstick that I rejected before I even got out of the mall parking deck...why?...Why...WHY?.. Saleswoman: Right on schedule...April 16 and the 1999 returns are pouring in. Cathy: Take it back! Take it all back! I hardly touched any of it!! I need the money to pay my taxes!

There’s a lesson here….don’t be a “CATHY” with your spending. Well, with spending and just about everything else she does!

Obviously not a Walmart shopper.

Most of the stuff Cathy bought is absolutely way overpriced – no matter where it came from. I save a lot of money now that many of the stores don’t take returns anymore – it’s a real incentive to not buy it unless you are absolutely sure.

“AACK” is right, Cathy!!!!!
I wouldn’t spend that kind of money on those kind of things if I had a million dollars in the bank and couldn’t think of anything else in the whole world to spend it on!!! My stores of choice are Target and Wal-Mart where I like to (hopefully!) find the best deals possible on things I really need that look and feel good on me … not the useless, worthless expensive crap that Cathy’s bought that is now just money down the drain that could have … oh, I don’t know … maybe been put towards her retirement?!?!?
