In the spirit of traveling debit and credit cards this week, I'm happy to inform my readers that my debit card has been on a shoe shopping frenzy! I'm not talking about one or two pairs of shoes…I'm talking about 6 pairs of shoes!
I'm supposed to be teaching my blog viewers good spending habits, so why am I bragging about buying 6 pairs of shoes? Simply because I got a really good deal! I got 3 pair of dress shoes that were regularly $60 each for $14.75 each, a pair of genuine leather boots for $17 (regularly $100), a pair of comfy every day shoes for $4.28 (regularly $70), and a pair of leather loafers for my hubby for $10 (regularly $80).
You are either shocked by my great deals, or questioning my spending habits. Some may say that I am a great bargain shopper, while others might say that bargain shopping is only a bargain when you get a good deal on something you needed, or originally planned to buy.
Six pair of shoes wasn't a need. Clearly a want. I justify my fun shopping sprees by using the funds in my spending account. I basically save to spend. I put a certain amount of money in a spending account because I know I like to shop. That way I know I am not spending my mortgage payment or light bill money on things like shoes!
Where has your debit or credit card been lately?
Chao for now,

Leslita, Although I can’t relate to the shoes or shopping for that matter, I do relate to the frenzy. Literally, in the spirit of traveling debit and credit cards my passion is TRAVEL.
In that past 12 months, I have swiped both cards in at least 24 states and three countries. Why am I excited, because I get a bargain buster advantage with Reward Points. Not only from the points program for signature-based transactions, but also from the program offerings that the air, car rental, and lodging locations I utilize have.
A recent trip last summer allowed me to have a free car rental, only one hotel night expense on a seven day trip, and I earned points toward a free flight. Next stop??? TBD
