Yesterday & the day before yeasterday, was a kind of shopping spree due to Woodfield Mall's special sales. In the mall, there are so many stores and 3 big department stores: Sears, Nordstrom, and Macy's.

Actually, my husband and I just wanted to go to eat some sushi at Todai restaurant. After the buffet, we were so full, we needed to take a walk to help our stomachs digestion for a while.

Unfortunatelly, then I found a great sale at Macy's.
I needed a new coat, because the coat that I brought from Japan was out of place in America. Suddenly, I decided to buy a new one!
The price was amazing! Can you believe that the price, which is normally $260, was changed to just $99?? And if we approved a new Macy's card, we could get another discount,too! Of course, we did it.
The final price was $67 before tax.  Yes!!

The new Macy's card came with a discount towards all purchases made in the first 2 days.

That's why we did a two-day shopping spree.

Macy's is still having a clearance sale, 'til the 20th.
How about the idea of getting your new winter clothes??

Me? Sorry Macy's, my purse strings have been tightened!

I don't know what you mean by "shopping spears". Do you mean "in a shopping spirit", or "shopping spree"? Or "Shopping warrior"?

Thanks for your correction!
As for "shopping spears", I confused "shopping spree".
Now I realized it by thanking to your pointing out my mistake.

Once upon a time, in my ESL class, we talked about celebrities and someone mentioned Britney Spears. Then my teacher gave us this word. That's why I may take "spree" for "spears".

Hahahahaha~~I as so embarrassed...but it's so funny story for me^^
I will amend this mistake of my memory now. Thanks a lot!!

Thanks for your corrections. Actually, my above comment is for you.
After writing the above, I went back my page, I found out 3 corrections! (Oh, 3!! I'm one of the happiest English learners in this world!)

from kazuko "spears"

LiquidTester さま,
Thanks for your corrections!! Today I learned many thing from you guys, for example, "do the buffet". "buffet" collocates with "do"! Yes, I learned it.
