$3.28 Dress & $1.30 Cami

I knew I would have to show this receipt because you would never beleive me if I told you that I got a dress and a cami for 5 bucks. So here's the proof in black and white!
How did this happen? It was a combination of all my clearance contessa tricks coming together for unbelievable savings, I actually surprised myself today. I have to start off with the coupons that I had – because I have a gap card I earn points on my purchases at banana republic, gap and old navy and when I reach a certain point level they send me a $10 gift card (see shopping can pay off). Well last night I discovered two giftcards in my vanity at home that I had completely forgotten about so today I decided to stop into the gap in Manhattan Beach and see if there was anything that caught my eye. Immediately I spotted this beautiful strapless summer dress hanging in the clearance section, originally $69.50 marked down to $21.99 AMAZING! I was already super stoked about it just from that but when I tried it on I noticed that it had little hooks on the inside of the dress indicating that it must come with straps so I asked the manager about the missing straps and they couldn’t find them around the store so he said he would give me an additional 20% off for the missing straps – PERFECT. That brought the dress down to $17.59 ( 75% savings). I actually bought this dress in a creamy vanilla color that I can't wait to accessorize with my athena sandals and lot of bohemian jewlry!Next I found this vibrant green summer cami with lace at the top (gonna go great with my flaming red hair) for $6.99, down from 19.50 (65% savings) added up the total was $24.58, that’s when I whipped out my $20 worth of coupons. Tax was $0.42 (cali sales tax is up to 9.25 freaking percent these days!) so that brought my grand total to 5 bucks even. LOVE IT!!!!! and the best part is that I am going on vacation next week and these items will for sure be coming along.
