Math is hard. Let’s go shopping!

Remember that skit on SNL? That one always made me laugh, and it’s become a catch-phrase we use around here. (Even though I don’t mind math, and I usually don’t like shopping. I know! How crazy.)

This weekend, as we were headed to the mall to look for a dress for the wedding we’re going to in July, I Twittered, “Math is hard; let’s go shopping!”

Little did I know that this shopping expedition would render some funny signage involving shopping and math.

Upon first glance, you’d think that 70% and 30% is 100%. Sweet! All the dresses on this rack are free! I know that’s not what they mean, and it is an awesome deal, but it still makes me laugh.

:)

And, I found a dress!  It wasn’t on this rack, but I did get an awesome deal on it, too.  The math wasn’t too hard, and the shopping was fun.  It doesn’t get much better than that!

  • Very sweet! I love a good sale. Glad you found the dress you wanted. I went shopping this weekend too and am 0-20. One good thing that resulted. I realized I really do need to get to the gym! Also found some things for my 2-yr old, when I was supposed to be shopping for me! How does it always turn out that way?

    Thanks for the laugh!

  • Thanks for the comment! I actually try to avoid shopping as much as possible. My husband has to convince me to go…how funny is that??
