Back To School Clothing

As you all know, this weekend was tax-free weekend in the state of Texas.  I wanted to share my deals with you all!  Unfortunately, I blew my budget of $138.15, by spending a total of $187.47. 


Here is the breakdown:
The budgeted amount came from 2 discounted gift cards that I purchased from GiftCardGranny.  I purchased a JCPenney gift card that had $90.22 on it for $64.86 (28% discount) and New York and Company gift card that had $75 on it for $63.29 (16% discount). The remaining $10 came from a Kohl's mailer with a $10 gift card attached that could be used toward anything in the store.
19 articles of clothing (4 pairs of pants, 2 pairs of shoes, 1 dress, 1 cardigan, 1 pair of shorts, 10 shirts)
