I don’t hide the fact that I enjoy shopping. Not just any kind though. I love a good deal! So when Coquitlam Centre invited me to participate in a shopping challenge, my answer was heck yes!

I was given $150 to spend at Coquitlam Centre during their Best-Dressed-For-Less Sale which is on now. I took on the challenge to dress my whole family for under $150. That would be me, my hubby, my five-year old son and three-year old daughter. Secretly I was actually hoping to do it for $100. Challenging? Yes. Doable? If anyone can, that would be me.

I started shopping on Friday. I made sure to visit a lot of different stores at the mall because of course I wanted to be thorough in finding the best prices and still have the fam looking fab! And here’s how I did:

1. My Look
I shopped around at a lot of the great stores at Coquitlam Centre and ended up with a fun outfit that I can wear together and mix and match with other pieces in my closet. Total = $32.97

2. Hubby’s Outfit
This guy was the hardest to shop for. He is very selective about what he wears. We did eventually find an ensemble he liked but it did eat up a 1/3 of my budget for only two items!
Total = $42.95

3. Keyan’s Outfit
My five-year old was pretty easy to shop for. Give him a super hero shirt and a pair of jeans and he is happy. And I got both of these at a great price.
Total = $21.40

4. Kyah’s Ensemble
My three-year old loves her clothes so her’s took a little bit longer to put together, but I ended up find a few great pieces that made the cutest outfit and she loved it! 
Total = $13.97

We tried to get a family photo of all of us in our new outfits and this is as close as we came.

So again, my challenge was to shop for all of us for under $150 and secretly I was hoping to do it for $100. The actual total that I spent was $111.29 (plus applicable taxes.) Not bad! And I’m sure I’ll be heading back to the sale before it’s over to spend the little bit that I have left.
