As mentioned once or twice, I have somewhat of a shopping habit. I guess it's like smoking - just one more wont hurt. Just one more op shop. On the way to a party. That I'm already late for. Ahem.
In my defence, I was only popping in to see if there was a suitcase for sale. It was right there, on the corner (my shame will be revealed at the end of this post, when I name the op shop I went to. If you are reading this, and I was on my way to your house, please remember that we have been friends for many years, and that I think you are the bees knees). So, given there probably weren't any parks outside their house, I parked in what I assumed was the nearest spot. You know. Out the front of the op shop.
And baby, late though I was, it paid off! Brand new Cue shift dress for 9.99? I'll take it! I also picked up a Cheekee overcoat - pink with a lovely pattern all over it - for $9.99. A two-tone dress from Barkins for $5.99 sealed the deal, and had me skipping down the road to the party (after stashing my goods in the car. It's bad enough rolling up late without rolling up late laden with sweet sweet treasures).
I only looked at the dresses, and happened to be passing by jackets on my way to home wares, so it's not like I dawdled. In fact, I didn't even try the items on (bloody lucky they fit!) so as not to waste precious time. Those of us in the know refer to this as speed shopping. Others might refer to it as a waste of time and money. But to those tight-wads, I ask this: can charity ever be a waste of time or money?
