My New Boots from Payless




Earlier today I printed my 50% off Payless coupon from Oprah.com and picked up these American Eagle boots that I had been wanting since this post. The boots were on sale for $39.99 down from $44.99, so I paid $20. Not bad for comfy boots that fit my needs perfectly! Take advantage of this deal soon because the coupon expires tomorrow!
