Fighting shopaholism at Steve and Barry's

So after listening to my friend yap on for about a week about this new store that opened up here called Steve and Barry's I finally decided to check the place out, especially after hearing them selling cheap name brand clothes.

I've never been much of a shopper and the only times I go out clothes shopping are when my old clothes are literally falling off of me.
Needless to say I went inside this store with zero expectations, well maybe not zero expectations... I was halfway expecting it to be some nasty thrift store sort of place.

Well to my surprise it wasn't... in fact it was pretty nice--somebody had actually put some money into the place. You would never know that it used to be an old Wal-mart store.

Okay, so the store looks nice, that doesn't mean their selection will be any good right? Surprisingly, it was a pretty good selection and the prices were pretty damn affordable and one thing I love is affordable! So I spent the next 30 minutes snatching up a bunch of two for whatever specials until I had two arms full of clothes.
I don't know how it happened... I had originally gone in to buy a shirt or two, but I ended up with 2 pairs of pants and six shirts!

Apparently I wasn't the only one to fall victim to this strange occurrence-- I saw a guy wandering around with a similar confused look on his face, carrying an even bigger pile of clothes, muttering to his friend that he needed to get out of there before he spent 300 bucks at the store (as he snatched up another shirt).

Well eventually I made my way to the check out and was pleasantly surprised when the total was barely sixty bucks! I also had to stop myself from laughing at the painfully obvious gay teller's lisp.

Well it looks like I've found my store to do my clothes shopping even though it's a little out of my way, which is probably a good thing since i would probably spend a hundred dollars a week there if it weren't. The only thing that saved me from spending that much this time was the fact that I was supposed to go see a movie with a friend of mine.

Oh well... the price I have to pay to look soooo good.
