Shop til I drop...or go broke.

So the money spending continues even before I take possession of my house. This weekend, I bought a bedroom set for my daughter's room, coffee and end table and a kitchen table. There were some decent sales this past weekend so I took advantage of it. I'm not 100% sure about the coffee table though. It's so hard buying furniture for a place that doesn't exist yet. Besides trying to figure out whether the colours will work, it's also hard imagining the furniture layout. I just hope it isn't too cluttered. I've been using those online room planners but still. Anyway, I can always cancel the order if I have second thoughts before they deliver it.

Later this week, I plan on ordering my dining room table. Again, there's another sale that I know of so I want to take advantage of that. Basically, I've been deal hunting for the last few months. If I see something that's on sale that I know that I need, I picked it up. Lately, I've been looking through all the flyers I get with my paper. It's quite a sad site seeing me get excited about flyers. I know which ones come on which days and I've even resorted to cutting out coupons for certain stores like Home Outfitters. Hahahaha! Hey, may as well save a few dollars with the amount of stuff I need to buy, right? With my kitchen table (glass top table, nothing fancy) that I've been eyeing, there was scratch and save so I pulled the trigger on it this past weekend. But of course all I got was the lowest discount of 5%. Saved a whopping $25!

Still lots of other stuff to buy though. I think I need a bunch of linens, housewares stuff and some other furniture items. My friends are going to wonder where all this stuff came from when they help me move. :) Less than 5 weeks away until close date!
