New shoe smell

I had gone to the Lee Mass outlets this passed weekend. Needless to say, I didn't do well with the whole not spending money thing. I got a pair of Gap skinny jeans for $21, and a Gap T for $6. I also got a tunic button up sweater and an navy and coral argyle sweater from Tommy Hilfiger for only $16. I didn't do too bad with the prices, and I will really use the clothes, I needed a couple more pieces to add to my closet. They were however spent on my credit card. I will put my hand out so you can smack it now!

I spent a little time today making a budget because of this though and the fact that my little sister is coming to visit, YEAH! I worked it out that I would pay off all of my newly incurred debt and a couple hundred of my old debt and still have money to buy shoes, yes buying something else, namely shoes. You may ask, "Mindy, I thought this was the blog for the fiscally challenged? Why are you buying things?!?!" My response to that is that there are times when to not spend, and there are things to spend on, it's a balance. I recently had ligament surgery in my ankle this passed October and the time has finally come to get back into the gym. I have only been wearing sneakers since I got my cast off, and as such, my old ones were very worn. I have been looking to getting some Nike's with the Plus sensor to track my workouts since they came out in 2007. So this story revolves back around to me going to the outlets! There is a Nike outlet store in Lee Mass. and we went there to look at the shoes and sensors, but we didn't find anything we liked (my friend Raj and I). I was online today and found Nikes at Macy's on sale, plus I had a 20% off coupon, you can imagine my excitement waiting for work to be over to go and get them (especially in this horrible weather). The pictures you see below are my bounty, (the shoes were almost a $100 and I only had to pay $54 with tax!!) my Nike shoes and sensor plus some socks. What do you guys think of the Nike+ system? Would you spend this much or more to get the system?
