I remembered that I had a random JCPenney gift card in my bag the other day. I thought it had only $3-ish on it. I thought about what I could bother going into the store for and decided that I wanted another new hand towel for the bathroom. A patterned one, not a solid color. Target didn't have any more towels like the one I bought the other day so I was in problem solving (panic) mode.
So, I went to the store on the way to my moms as a mood defense. If I got a prize prior to going to my moms, perhaps it will go more smoothly. What I didn't think of is: Columbus Day sales.
I looked at all the towels and was unimpressed. This is where I say that I am underwhelmed by their home goods section. They rarely have anything that I like.
They had leftover Christmas decorations on sale. I am proud to say that I avoided it. I did cast a few sneaky glances their way. But I couldn't look myself in the eye if I bought Christmas decorations on October 10.
I realized that I need long sleeve shirts. So I wandered over to that section. Nothing really called out to me until from the corner of my eye I spotted zippered hoodies. I want another black hoodie because I can't wear my Vegas one to work. They were on sale! 50% off so $15 each. I also wanted a red one so I got it with the effed up logic of buy one, get one free.
Then just as I was getting ready to leave I spotted Henley shirts on sale as well. Guess how much? That's right: 50% off. I bought a purple one, a purple & black one, and a blue one.
This is why I avoid JCPenney. I tend to overshop there. It's also why I don't have a credit card there anymore. It's like a bookstore to me: I have no self control. This is how a $9.69 hand towel turns into $65.98 worth of clothing.
