Nope, it's not right....I only have a pair of slip on tennis', wore out tennis' and 2 pairs of boots (one for "going out" and one for working in the yard.:sad: I need to go shopping. Oh, and a pair of house slippers. P.S. sorry for tripping you up with the avatar change - it was just that time! Edit - I just realized there are tennis shoes on the top shelf in this pic. Definitely not anymore! Hey when the shelf was built I realized I had more space for shoes and went a little crazy afterward

Two trips to Kroger to report. The first was $6.49 for some things to complete a meal I took to a friend with a new baby. The second was for the Mega Sale (I LOVE the Mega Sale) $78.93, but I saved $88.76 - I absolutely love saving more than I spend. So, my total Nov OOP so far is $115.03.

I am so jealous of people with tons of shoes. When I worked I would have no less than 45 - 50 pairs at a time, but since I quit working my feet have gotten bigger, so I can't wear any of them anymore. I think it's because of wearing flip flops all the time. They are not good for your feet. Anyway, I was down to one pair of shoes that were falling apart and I told my friend that I needed to ask Santa for new shoes and a new purse. That week Santa (my friend) showed up at my house with two new (new to me, barely worn) pairs of shoes and two purses for me. Her DH had been bugging her to clean out her closet and I got the benefit. Yippee!! Good friends rock!!
