myLot reputation of 84/100. oneandonemakesix (24123)   ranked 84 out of 6,042 in shopping7 months ago

my youngest has been hating to go anywhere, and needless to say today is one of those days we had to take him out to buy new shoes, his old ones were GROSS and I mean gross, so my husband and i decided to take them shoe shopping he didn't wanna go didn't want to find socks you name it, so I bribed him with a trip to 5 below for going shoe shopping and putting up with doing something he didn't want to do, I got him a little match box car and some sidewalk chalk

But good grief even at payless you don't PAY LESS, 4 pairs of shoes, cost us 95.00 after tax.....cripe....

there goes 2 months of earnings from mylot and my PTC ventures.

>sigh< its getting so one can't live anymore.

Everything is getting so expensive and it is hard to keep up with the way prices are rising at the minute. Each week becomes more of a challenge to beat the prices and stay within my budgets so that I do not have to break into money that I do not want to touch.

I am trying to save now for a holiday abroad next May, and if the shops think that I am putting any of my savings into buying their things then they are sadly mistaken!

Payless is not the shop to use if you are trying to save your money. I use walmart for shoes, because they are cheaper than payless and the teenager I have (female) goes through shoes like money grows on trees LOL

the last shoes I bought from walmart lasted less than 2 months they fell apart, I would rather pay more and not spend my money at walmart if I can avoid it....

I'd be happy if my childs shoes would last her two minths. She kills shoes, no matter where they came from or what they cost. She's going to be a poor person when she grows up just from shoe shopping. The only good part there is that I won't have to pay fro them anymore LOL

Why did you bride him at all? You don't have to bride your kids at all.

$95 is not bad for 4 pairs of shoes, thats only $23 or so including atx per pair. The only place you will probably find cheaper shoes is the dollar stores, good will or possibly Wal-Mart. I know I got a pair of tennis shoes for my son at Target for $10.

I guess my question would be "Why is he not wanting to go anywhere."? You need to find the Payless store when they are doing buy one get one for half off. I would have a hard time with paying that for kids' shoes. It costs around $75 for just hubby and I. But we are not growing out of them. We just wear them out.

I hate to go places also. Everything is so outragious anymore, plus you have to pay gas to get there. I like to do alot of my shopping online, even though I have to pay the shipping charge. I can find some really dood deals sometimes and get free shipping too. It daves the tripo and gas. I use my online earnings for bills, food and you name it also.

Things are getting tight here as well. It seems like every time I get my head above water, someone goes and opens the dam again.

I hate when you have to bribe them to do things like that Mooch and luckily although our youngest hates going shopping too much we can always persuade her to come without having to bribe her! I know how hard it is keeping 2 children clothed and shod never mind 4! xxx

Wow I can't believe you had to bribe him! My three boys love to go and if we go to a store that has shoes there are off to look at shoes. They have almost half as many pairs as I do and it makes my husband nuts. It is not my fault that he only has a pair or two of shoes LOL! Sorry to hear at how expensive it was I use to love Pay Less but I haven't been shoe shopping with the high gas prices. I miss it a lot!
