If I never see another rain drop it will be too soon. Here in Boston we have had such unusually wet weather. We had 4....only 4 days of sunshine for the entire month of June. I have been to the beach only once. I'm starting to have withdrawals and go stir crazy. Seriously, I can't take it anymore.

I want a drought.
I want sunshine.
Where's Global Warming??!! At this point, I would welcome it.

Not only has it just been rainy, and cloudy, but it hasn't been all that warm either. Today started my vacation and I am praying for warm weather harder than I've ever prayed before. While the rest of the country is in a heat wave, I've been suffering with my galoshes and flooding. Damn ocean effect rain!

And not only is the weather depressing but the kids can't go outside. Which means we're couped up in the house and he's up my ASS! AAAAAHHHHH!!!! Where's the sun??!!

Spendervention!!

I like to shop. A lot. Retail therapy is how I deal with the stresses of everyday life. However, shopping can get quite expensive. Especially if you shop at high-end retail giants. I prefer to bargain shop. My philosophy is "why spend more when you can get basically the same thing somewhere cheaper?" Thats pretty much my attitude whenever I go shopping. It helps keep me on a budget.

My favorite stores are TJ Maxx and Marshalls. I have a Marshalls that is literally five minutes away from my house, which is so dangerous because I am almost always there. My girlfriend works right around the corner from it and she shops there as well and will call me from the store to ask me if I saw this dress, shirt, etc. that they have. TJ Maxx and Marshalls have everything from household items, to pocketbooks, toys, clothes for the whole family, and shoes.

So, on a recent trip to Marshalls this is what I bought:

Dress for BlogHer....... $19.99
bathing suit...................$14.99
Skecher sneakers.........$24.99
2 tanktops.....................$7.99/each

Thats 5 items for a total of $75.95 !! I think I did pretty good. I especially love the dress, wait till you all see it at BlogHer, I bought it specifically for the Momdot dinner. Super cute!!

Ok, so I couldn't just brag about one place and not the other, so I trekked one town over to TJ Maxx to see what deals I could find there. This is what I got:

2 pairs of basketball shorts for boys........$7.99/each
2 Nike Heat Guard shirts...........................$4.99/each (clearance!!)
2 pairs of boys pajama bottoms.................$9.99
Calvin Klein boy shirt..................................$9.99
Hurley shorts for boys................................$12.99
White Polo shirt for boys............................$14.99

Thats 9 items for a total of $83.91 !! See, I'm a good mom and bought more for him than myself. Now you can see for yourself what great deals can be found at TJ Maxx and Marshalls.

Do you need a spendervention? Are you spending too much money on designer fashion clothes?
Well, now's the time to stop. Shop at TJ Maxx and Marshalls for those same great fashions at a fraction of the price!
