Low-Spend June: Day 15

June 15, 2017 by admin Leave a Comment

I had to order new character shoes!  I’m in Shrek and we open a week from today.  I’m only in ensemble and have very little stage time, so even though my character shoes have become WAY too large, I was going to make due.  When wearing two pair of padded peds didn’t help, I decided I’d have to break down and get new shoes because as much as I didn’t want to pay the $40ish, I also didn’t want to injure myself or feel unsteady dancing and running around!  My current ones are 5 years old and still look practically new, despite the fact that I’ve worn them a LOT, including to square dancing and out on concrete.  I thought they’d pretty much last forever but I didn’t anticipate that a mere 10% weightloss would cause them to become dangerously loose!  :/

I found nice ones on Amazon for $36.75 + tax with Prime shipping and free returns, so I ordered one a half size down and one a full size down. They’re a different brand and hopefully ONE will fit well.  I’m thinking I’ll want them snuggish, since I hope to lose more weight and better too snug than too loose!

So, $80 on Amazon for the two shoes; one of which will be returned.

Also, I spent $10 on a hair dryer wall mount (needed…I alm0st electrocuted myself recently), $16 on a hair dryer with a retractable cord (see previous comment), $4 on a two-hole punch hubs needs for work and $3.50 on prongs for folders punched with aforementioned two-hole punch.
