Is it really worth it?

Today, I found myself at Kohl's, with "Kohl's Cash".  I had $10 to spend on anything I wanted, how exciting.  I started in the men's section looking at Thermals, found one for $15.  Good deal, right?  I grabbed it and went to men's clearance...Ooh, a new dress shirt for Tim....and pants, a belt, all on sale.  Yes, I love the word "sale" or "clearance".  Soon I wandered into housewares, hands full of course.  There it was again "Clearance" and found 2 beautiful candles I could use.  Then it starts, my mind talking me out of what I do not need to buy....do I really need to get all of this stuff for Tim?  I put the thermal and the belt down.  Went into the purse section as I could always use a new purse.  There was nada appealing to my bargain eye.  Ugh, my mind again...down go the pants and candles.  Lets check out jewelry.  Found a ring I loved, but not my size..bummer.  Again it happened, "Tim has 8 other shirts at home he never wears".  I put the shirt down in the jewelry section.  What was I to do now with this $10 Kohl's Cash?  I had wondered the store 40 minutes and now my hands were empty.  Realizing I littered the store with merchandise, I giggled a bit.  Then I noticed a woman in-line with shoes and pants for her son.  "Here Miss, I won't be using this and would like you have it."
