How power tools convinced my husband to stop smoking

It all started with a sale at Sears! He's been begging for a new set of power tools for months, and I kept begging him to put it off, wait until much bigger purchases were out of the way...
But it was like trying to ignore a little kid, he came at me from every angle so that every conversation related back to Power Tools On Sale!! LOL
"But I really need them because.."
"Its the last day of the sale and there's only one set left..."
"But all the other guys at work have their own tools..."
"So-and-so got a raise because he has more tools than me..."

I wasn't convinced he seriously Needs Them until he Pinky Swore he'd stop smoking for them.
Yes, we did the pinky swear...
I'm so glad he quit smoking....we'll save what we spent at Sears in the first month just from not buying cigarettes...they are more than 5$ a pack and he goes thru a pack a day or every other day! Wow!

I also found the perfect swimsuit for our almost 2yo girl on the way to the tool section, so that was cool....it was 50% off online! Kids clothes are so expensive! That's why I'm trying to get some extra money, not only so I can get more stuff for my kids, but so I can go shopping for my own clothes...I haven't gone shopping in YEARS!

Hubby promised to help me get my inventory going for my Etsy business tho, so that will be a huge motivation and exiting too...
yay!
