Apparently I was not only blessed with a wonderful Spanish family, but also with the best Spanish Sales! Because the Spanish economy is not doing so hot, everything is on sale… like not 20% off, we’re talking 50-70% off! And this is not for 1 week or 1 month. We’re talking for 2 and a half months! And they have another big two months of sales in summer! Salamanca is a 100% commercial city because there is no industry. So that means everything is either a boot store, clothing store, accessory store, shoe store, and of course the supermarkets. There a street called Calle Torro that is the main street I walk through on the way to class. Look at what I’m passing and how hard it is to NOT spend money here. It’s so so so hard…..
The sale situation is so intense and below you’ll see all the things I’ve bought… I know it’s bad, but who can pass up 19 Euro boots, 20 euro jackets, and 10 Euro skirts? I purchased all these things for under 100 E (150 dollars). I’m just saying that’s not too bad.
** Ps. I was planning on going shopping again today, but I’m blogging instead so appreciate this one!**
Wow. Now I see how hard it must be for you...Shopping Temptation every day! Please Blog until your hearts content; it saves your Dad and I mucho dinero and we love the blog. (Perhaps there is another calle to take to la universidad?) ha ha
