A ridiculously priced purchase...

Over the summer I decided that, even though I hate the way I look, it was time to embrace what I am and buy some new clothes. I previously blogged about buying new hangers for my new clothes HERE. Anyway, I've been adding all kinds of new things to my closet over the past two months. I recently struck gold. I've lucked out with buying mostly clearance on my new clothing quest, but this recent purchase takes the cake.

I really like the store CJBanks. They carry sizes 14 and up. That would be me... size 14 and up - emphasis on the up. Their mall stores are nice but their stuff tends to run small and their prices are high, in my opinion. I keep my eye on their online store. I've had a lot of success with their clearance. Case in point...

This box arrived for me.

It's full of new clothes!!

Here's what I ordered...

6 new shirts!

4 at $35.50 each

1 at $29.50 

1 at $19.50

total: $191.00

2 lightweight shrugs.

$45.50 each

total: $91.00

3 lightweight cardigans.

(they all look identical in this picture but they're not)

$39.50 each

total: $118.50

3 other tops.
White sweater with crochet $45.50
Olive green shirt $35.50
Black and white plaid $39.50

total: $120.50

That's a grand total of
$521.00

For whatever reason, it came with two shipping invoices.

I paid a whopping $3.00 for each item.

The total I paid for everything is $38.99
Yep. You read that right. Thirty eight dollars and ninety nine cents.

I saved an incredible 
$482.01

And how did I do this?
I shopped all clearance (which was already priced really low) and used an additional 40% off my total coupon. I was shocked and excited to get 14 things for $3.00 a piece. I scored! I love it when I stumble on amazing finds!
