shopping frustrations..

Ok.. so we went shopping today after bringing Anna to ballet. I was armed with a 40% off coupon (actually two) and planned to check the sale items and get a sewing machine for anna.. one of her items on her wish list. Well, the sewing machines for kids there was 60.00!! I know I didn't pay anywhere near that when I bought one for Jade.. As for their sale items.. there was just nothing worth the price.. Very disappointing. I am getting really nervous since I have nothing yet.. Lack of funds don't help either. Trying not to panic..
