Don't Drink and Shop

This one time Garth and I went to Chili's for dinner and a margarita and then walked to Walmart and almost bought a new TV and fish. Good thing fish aren't cuddly because we probably would have walked out with a few.
Last Friday we went to Chili's for dinner and a margarita and then walked to Dick's Sporting Goods and bought a beautiful patio set for our new place. We don't regret the purchase, but we probably shouldn't drink and shop again.

Oh no! You need to get a "restraining" order so you can't drink within fifty feet of a store. lol

Melissa said...

LOL! I love that you almost bought fish.

Lol. I was recently at a charity event/silent auction. Lots of drinks, lots of things to buy. I ended up with tickets to a comedy show, some USC gear, and autographed photograph of an old time famous boxer. I don't even like boxing! Ha!

Brittany Ann said...

Oh dear! Chillis' drinks will do that to a girl!

Lauren said...

Hee hee...I love this!!! At least you're buying useful stuff that you'll enjoy!

Unknown said...

Jules said...

I am with you on this! I went to this girls night out function where there was shopping and free drinks. It definitely made me want to buy things I didn't need.

Girl Meets Beau said...

Ha that is so funny!! And so true! It's easy to feel OK with a purchase if you have a drink (or two) in you! Makes it that much easier :)

Jen McCrady said...

ELP said...

Erin said...

Justine said...

Amber said...

Too funny! I've tried to grocery shop after a drink too many and I ended up wandering around the store, totally distracted, with no idea what I had gone in there to buy. I'm with you, not a good idea :-)

LauraAnn said...

Haha! That is too funny! I've had a few tipsy shopping trips but my purchases usually only consisted of clothing or accessories (nothing big).

AmyT said...

ha ha it's about like - don't go grocery shopping on an empty stomach!!

Miss Jody said...

Amanda said...

You can add that to your "Philosophies" post! At least you don't have buyer's remorse with the new patio set!

That's What She Said said...

thats funny. I love drinking and shopping. Then not only do you wake up with a hangover, but new stuff too! haha

- Sarah :-) said...

Ha ha - you guys are hysterical! Love it.

Unknown said...

You sound like Husby and I!! Except we're normally walking up 5th Avenue after we've had a few too many. Never a good thing.

Emily said...

This crack me up!! My mom and i went on a cruise one time and we drank and then bought all kinds of dumb stuff!! Cant wait to see pics of the new stuff!

morewineplease said...

I love Chili's margarita's... and shopping :)

Lis said...

Ha ha ha!! I've totally done this before too!! :) Darn those margarita's!!

Janetta Gray said...

For some reason, just 1 glass of wine makes me feel like I can wear anything. Even orange, which with my red undertones is a huge no no! Talk about clouded judgment!

Sassy Engineer said...

Haha - maybe that is what I need to do to get my husband to let me buy more things! Haha - just kidding :)

Mrs. J L said...

lol. shopping and drinking what a great combo. u see the thing is that if you go when you are sober you think really good about it and u talk urself out of buying it BUT when u go shopping after u drink u don't let ur conscience tell u anything. u go with ur gut feeling. so get what u truly want. lol awesome! ;)

Kim @ NewlyWoodwards said...

Am said...

In This Wonderful Life said...
