Buy the Shoes, Eat the Cookie

I hate when I do this but I let another amazing deal slip through my fingers. The leopard print Mad Men pumps were on sale at Banana Republic in my size but I wanted to wait until my rewards dollars arrived. I had the chance to put them hold sooner but didn't so when I called today to have them put on hold they were sold. Now I have this uneasy feeling in my stomach and it sucks. Ah well, I guess there are more fabulous shoes out there... There certainly are but not for that price.

This was a very hurtful lesson but sometimes you have to act fast on some deals. Your wallet and your wardrobe will thank you for it later.
