Last weekend I went to Steve Madden to buy one pair of gray pumps. I left with four boxes of shoes.

What caused the mini shopping spree? Steve Madden’s Scratch & Shop Cards.

I was lucky enough to scratch my way to 40% off my entire purchase. They didn’t have the gray heels I wanted in my size so I instead used my serious discount on the Trinitie pump ($79.95-$99.95) in navy, black and blush and the Cielo wedge ($129.95).

When I checked out, I got yet another card (this one was 30% off), valid from 12/8-12/16. So I might just have to make another trip to Steve Madden to buy the pumps in more colors. They’re pretty comfortable for a 4½-inch heel and way less expensive than the Brian Atwood Maniac Pumps that celebrities can’t get enough of.
