Dillard's Sale--Another Successful Shopping Trip!

So, I know my mom (and maybe my grandma) are the only ones interested in this, but the Dillard's New Year's Day sale today was AWESOME! It was a lot busier than I remembered it being in years past, but luckily I had spent 4 hours there on Tuesday and 1 hour there yesterday deciding what I want and making a game plan, so it all went smoothly. Jessica and I got there about 9 AM (even though they open at 10, one year they opened an hour earlier than they said they would), and we were definitely not the first people there.  The only thing I wanted but didn't get was some shoes for Marshall, but someone else grabbed them before I could get to them.

So, mom, here is what I got:

For Mason/Myles: 12 long-sleeve shirts/sweaters (regularly $20-$45 for between $3 and $6 each)
For McKay: 1 pair pjs (regularly $18 for $5), pants (regularly $12 for $3), Hurley shirt and hat set (regularly $22 for $7), superman track suit with cape (regularly $28 for $8)--he grabbed this when I got home and ran around the house with it.
For Max: Captain America stride rite shoes (regularly $35 for $10)
For Myles' room: Comforter (regularly $179 for $45), and 2 shams (regularly $39 for $9)
For kids: 4 superhero 3 piece pj sets with capes (regularly $18 for $5)
For house: big magnet board to go on wall by recliner in family room (regularly $99 for $24), small heart magnet board to go above desk instead of that white one that doesn't quite fit (regularly $40 for $12)
For me: really comfortable Algeria shoes (regularly $130 for $35), 6 shirts and sweaters (ranging from regularly $30-100 for $5-$25), 3 pairs of earrings (regularly $16 for $4), scarf (regularly $28 for $4), Fossil sunglasses with case (regularly $75 for $20), and best of all, 7 bras (that I normally buy for $50 all for $5-$10 each).

I haven't calculated my total savings yet, but I'm guessing it was close to last year with paying about 25% of the normal price. Not bad. And I saw at least 4 families there that heard about the sale and came because of my Facebook post about it yesterday!
