I think I am getting to be a bit predictable. Anyway, after gratuitous amounts of loving hugs and coffee, we decided to go to the outlet mall to shop for Little One since she had outgrown a ton of clothes, for which Goodwill is grateful. It was a nice day, and I find shopping therapeutic and relaxing.</p>
<p>I do NOT find traffic relaxing, which is why Hubby drove.</p>
<p>Anyway, we decided to have lunch first at a restaurant conveniently located next to Williams-Sonoma™, which is close to kryptonite for me as y&#8217;all well know. I had finished eating and figured it couldn&#8217;t do any harm to just <em>go look</em>. So off I went, feeling Hubby&#8217;s eyes roll as I meandered into the store. Mind you, I wasn&#8217;t planning on getting anything, until I rounded the corner and found this:</p>

<p>I had been looking for that size for a while, but was reluctant to pay the $$$ price tag. Seriously, three figures for that small saucepan? No way. So I checked inside for the price in case it was on sale.</p>
<h1>$29.97???</h1>
<p><em>Wha&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.??</em></p>
<p>I check everywhere on that pan to see if there is another price tag. Nope, just the $29.97 one. ZOMG!!!! I run over to the checkout and ask if this is the right price and the manager says that usually the current stuff that&#8217;s returned to the outlet is priced to move, so yes. AWESOME!!! But if that wasn&#8217;t enough, it was an additional 30% off, plus 10% off for military. So my little saucepan cost $20 and change.</p>
<p>And no, this doesn&#8217;t mean my Le Creuset™ bargain hunting is over. It just means that I really, <em>really</em> have to downsize a bit more 😉</p>
