It's SALE time.
You find something you really like at 50% OFF.
It fits perfectly and/or it's looks very very nice.
You feel so lucky!
Just like when you find money you'd forgotten about in your jeans pocket.
As you're standing in the queue to the cash counter,
Not only are you grinning (creepily, if you're being watched),
You're also thinking: 'I could win a award for Best Bargain Shopper! Ooh....maybe I should turn it into a career! Ya, lazy people will pay me to go shoppi.....Oh, my turn!'
You take out your wallet to pay for the greatness that, at this point, you'd scratch people for if they tried to snatch it from you! (Meow!)
The cashier says a number that's not the same one in your head.
A smaller number.
Waitaminute....huh?
It's actually 70% OFF!
They must've forgotten to change the sticker on the tag.
Now you're shaking a little bit,
and all of your teeth want to come out and ogle at the cashier.
But you warn yourself.....
'Be cool.'
*****
That, ladies & gentlemen, has happened to me twice.
First time: At Lipsy in Glasgow last December - I thought I had to pay £20 (Rs.2000) for a top, but the price was £12 (Rs.1200)
Second time: At Claire's recently with a not-so-expensive hairband, but still.
On to the haul.....
Forever 21 Romantic Duster Earrings, 539.
