Six cent Christmas Present

My parents gave me $100 for Christmas. I had not really intended on using it at all...and technically I didn't because it is still in an envelope...somewhere. After I went running, I decided to go to Sears because I really need some boots, and I have looked mostly everywhere else. I see the coats when I walk in, and I remember how I have been wanting a wool coat. I find the perfect one. They were 50% off, I couldn't help myself. Then on the way back to the shoe department, I stop and look at belts. I really need a new belt too. I picked out a nice black leather belt. It was 40% off. I didn't find any boots I liked, so I walked around the store some more, tried a few things on for fun, and saw a coworker. I was getting a little bored, so I figured I might as well go check out. I made the cashier put my coat in one of those hangy bags...only because he offered. The total came to.....$100.06!!! score! Then i realized I could consider it a Christmas present from my parents. I spent six cents on myself today. Now I just need to deposit that money into my account.
