Early birds get the...swimsuit!

Darren and I have been really good at sticking to a budget since we've been married, but that has meant that we haven't spent much on "us" in the last year and a half. I'd been eyeing a swimsuit at Old Navy (a cute one-piece!) the past few weeks and we finally decided last weekend that we had the financial room to have a little fun.

We went over to the mall earlier this week, but were sad to find that they didn't have the suit I wanted in my size. I knew they had it online, so we headed home and placed our order. I had a coupon for $10 off $50 so Darren even got to get new swim shorts! It all came to about $46 (with free shipping since the pre-discount price was over 50), so I was pretty happy.

I got a bit disappointed on Thursday when I got an email from Old Navy saying their swimsuits were going to be 60% off on Saturday from 7am - 11am. Bummer dude! We just bought ours and wouldn't even have a receipt to do a price adjustment until next week, after the sale was over. I did a little thinking though, and we decided to go in this morning and look anyway. If they had what we ordered, we'd get it on sale and then return the ones we ordered later in the week.

We got up bright and early (6:30) and were the 2nd ones in the store. They didn't have my size still, so I looked at a few other things and settled on a black tankini and Darren got his previously ordered swim shorts. Our total came to $25 for everything, a savings of $30!

Here's a picture of everything we either ordered or bought in-store today:

After we return Darren's second pair of shorts for full-price (Darren says I'm keeping both of my suits) our total for everything will be: $55. That's less than $20 for each suit. Too bad they didn't have the one-piece today, but it still felt good to get such a good deal!
