Were off to Famous Footwear for school sneakers today...Echo kicks for 14 yr old about $80.00 probally Vanns for the 11 yr.old approx. $50.00..I have a 10 % coupon off for them. Then I will leave and go back in the store and get my daughters sneaks & maybe something for me with $10.00 off coupon! My points may add up to another 5% off with 2 purchases...frustrated (and my kids wanna know why passing math is important?) laugh laugh laugh

RIGHT! laugh laugh

Good thing is.... I only have to do this once a year because they make them last!(they keep all the old ones or cheaper pairs for biking and play...they call them mudders) Some of their mudders have missing toes, split heels,ect...laugh

It is crazy!! I get my sneakers, oooooh, maybe once a year, at Walmart, for less than $15.
But, the kid MUST have Chuck Taylor's, Converse or Vann's or whatever, and she goes through about 5 pairs a year.
Yesterday was "no tax" day and I had a 20% coupon and she ACTUALLY liked a different brand, so they were ONLY $32 !!!!!!!!!!!!! Still insane to me!!! frustrated frustrated frustrated

Then, there's the clothing. Hot Topic almost all the way!! My jeans, $28 or less. Hers: $46 !!!

throw out all the mudders except 1 or 2 pairs....

old shoes will only end up hurting your feet
they can also be linked to back problems and psyatica

Okay people!

Cheap shoes ordered online. www.zappos.com

They sell most name brands, so you can even try them on in the store and then go home and order them for less. Also, if you find a pair you like, Zappos allows you send them back for FREE if they are the incorrect size.
