Happiness is...
Gift cards. I love receiving gift cards because of many reasons... I hate asking for necessities like groceries and textbooks and hygiene products for Christmas... I don't want to make Christmas another droll occasion... I know people will sleep better at night if they know they didn't get me something I already had or, worse, despise... I love spending money. Not shopping, but splurging. And what better way than if it isn't even affecting my bank account anyway?
Booya. Gift cards. Santa couldn't have been more spot on.

Dollar items.
Happiness is...
Dollar items. I head to the dollar tree every few months just to poke around for fun. But every now and then, I find a real steal. For example, a book from my favorite author that I purchased last night.
Or, a quick box of Christmas cards to give out.
Likewise, the entire dollar section at Target. I'll admit that it's usually a bunch of junk, but every now and then there is something I want, and it's only the price of a soda. That's a good trip. I understand how silly this sounds, but just try it sometime.
Tis the season... for exciting little buys.

In Store Credit
Happiness is...
Returning things for in-store credit. It's money you won't waste in restaurants, on gas, just maybe on a disney movie or two... you tell me all I can get is in-store credit? That's okay, it's all I'd ever ask for anyway.
Cash is expendable, just keep looking on the bright side of life.

Halloween Sales
Happiness is...
Halloween candy sales. They mean chocolate overloads and afternoons nibbling on things made of processed sugar and corn starch. That's right, world. I have a weakness for candy corn. I love the thought of spreading the joy when it comes to trick or treating, and I love the idea of being someone besides me, just for a night!
It also means holiday season is approaching! The way retail goes Halloween stuff is on sale late September, Thanksgiving stuff is on the shelves the morning after Halloween, and Christmas is in full swing just hours after Thanksgiving, if not before (for the record, I do not like black Friday). I will be celebrating something until the end of the year now! AND even when January rolls around, it'll be just anticipation for another (semi) eventful Birthday! I'm ashamed to say that I am one of those people who is very forward thinking, but this is the perfect time of the year to embrace that fact. Welcome Halloween :)

Frequent buyer cards
Happiness is...
Frequent buyer cards. And why not reward me after my seventh cup of coffee? I don't care if it's a marketing scheme, it works. And I'll enjoy the next six cups of joe. Congratulations, you have my undying loyalty!

Garage sales
Happiness is...
Garage sales. In my hometown we used to have a weekend dedicated to the city, with events, and specials, and garaaaage saaaaales. Mmmm. Unfortunately, it occurs in September and I will be unable to attend due to GRAD SCHOOLZ. Fortunately, now that the sun is out the season of garage sales will be ongoing for the next few months! Wooo :)
Today I got an air popper for popcorn. I spent a dollar. I am so excited. I love popcorn. The end.
Long story short: I love garage sales, where you find random treasures, hilarious junk, and much more. A story behind every one. Garage sales <3

Clearance
Happiness is...
Buying things on clearance.
Every now and then you may want a new skirt, or t-shirt. Lucky for you, nearly every store has a clearance rack with goodies waiting anxiously to be discovered. Better yet, when you get these gems you end up feeling even happier about your awesome shopping skills entirely! Why even buy things at full price when you can conquer the sales? Mmmm clearance.

Massage Chairs
Happiness is...
Brookstone. Sharper Image. Massage chairs, no strings attached. Take a seat, grab the remote, and quickly transport yourself to a better world. Thank you kindly. They provide a valuable service to people like me, after a long relentless week. More of us should stop and thing about the gratitude we owe stores like that! :) Mmmmm.

Boo(ts) ya!
Happiness is...
New, cheap, cute boots. Thrifting can turn up some of the greatest treasures, like my new burgundy suede boots. Don't you wish you could see me in them? The answer is yes, yes you do.
These boots ARE made for walking.
