Skipping School to Shop for Prom

A few weeks ago, Eric told me girls were skipping school to go shop for prom dresses. I thought that was ridiculous. Can't they shop on the weekend?

But then last night Eric asked me to take him shopping over the weekend for a new white shirt for prom. This morning when he woke up with a cold, I suggested he just stay home from school and we'd go shop for the shirt. He had to leave at lunchtime anyway for an appointment with sports medicine for his hand.

While shopping for the shirt, we found suits marked down and then extra 60% off. He has been asking for a new suit so it was a great deal. When Mario went up to pay, he asked for an additional discount. The suit was originally $350, marked down to $175, then 60% off bringing price to $70. Mario ended up getting it for $52 including tax and included alterations. What a deal!

So now I guess I'm just as bad as those moms that let their girls skip for prom shopping.

We stopped by Whole Foods and got some buffalo meat to make some burgers for lunch and some pretzel rolls for the bun. It's a good day!
