The last time I went shopping was last Saturday. I was looking for a pair of shoes to play soccer. Besides quality I was interesting in new designs and colors. It cost about 80 usd at regular price, but there was an special offer at the store so I could get an extra 10% discount. Before I could finally get my pair of shoes I visited 4 different stores. My shoes are blue with white lines on the sides. I'll use them on my next soccer match this coming weekend.
