Hauling for Charity

Hey ladies! I know I just posted a haul not too long ago, but this was an unexpected haul I just had to share. When I went to Shoppers a few nights ago to pick up a few essential items I walked through the Beauty Boutique to see if they had any good GWPs. To my surprise a saw a table of Mystery Grab bags for $5 each.

I ended up paying at the boutique counter and asked the sales woman about them. She said that all of the proceeds of each bag went to the Dragon Boat Races which, in my city, goes towards Breast Cancer research. I decided to get two to support the cause, and try my luck at what I would get. When I handed them to the sales woman she exclaimed that I had picked the one with the full size perfume. I got so excited of course, and found out that the contents of the bags were from brands in the boutique not the drugstore section...so of course, I had to buy all of the other bags on the table.

I ended up buying six bags, and paid $30, no tax. I kind of felt guilty for spending more on beauty products this month. But when I really think about it, I gave $30 to a worthy charity and cause, and I just happened to get some samples in return. I would give money freely to this type of charity so getting these products was just a bonus.

I am so happy I decided to pick up all 6 bags, as I received a plethora of different brands and products to try out. I am not sure if all Shoppers do this sort of thing, as this was the first time I have seen something like it, but I would definitely check out your stores.

Total Spent: $30

Total Value of all 6 bags: $317.80
