Discount Shopping

I think people are finally figuring out how great Marshalls, TJ Maxx, and Ross are. I stopped by my friend’s house the other day, and she was so excited about something she purchased and couldn’t wait to tell me about it. I didn’t think anyone got as excited as I did about bargains, but I think she may have come close. So, she shows me a top she bought at Old Navy, then went on to tell me that she was taking it back. I asked her why, and she said I would not believe what she found and that I would be so proud of her. So, she shows me how she found a very similar top at Ross for a third of the price. She was able to get 3 different tops at Ross for the price of 1 top at Old Navy. And you know, the top from Ross, in my opinion, was much cuter then the one from Old Navy.

I’m so glad that my friends are finally catching on to the bargains that I have known about for many years. I can’t tell you the last time I shopped at a department store. I don’t want everyone to catch on though, because our economy sucks right now, so we need some people to keep spending their money at expensive places and not caring about saving a buck.

So, some of the bargains I have gotten recently at Marshalls have been: Asic running shoes for Andrew for $10.00, New Balance running shoes for Rick for $19.99, and Maidenform bra for $8.00. One of my really great finds was when I pulled a little black dress off the rack for my friend to wear to her husband’s Christmas party and it fit! That dress was only $10.00, and she loved it! I don’t think anyone can beat that one!

I’ve had people tell me that they don’t have the patience to go through the racks to find the bargains. The mistake they are making is shopping with their children. If you are trying to shop for yourself, don’t ever bring your children. You can bring a sister or friend, because you will need that person to tell you if the jeans are cute or absolutely ridiculous. And if you have to go by yourself, don’t fret because you can buy the item, show it to your friend or sister, and then return it within 30 days for a full refund if your friend tells you how ridiculous you look. You really can’t go wrong at these stores. I’ll even go with you to introduce you to this wonderful world of shopping. They get new shipments all the time, so I won’t be bored.

So, congratulations to Kimberly for entering the club of discount shopping. What a rush you will get! Next I’ll have to take you to Goodwill, and I’ll even help you go through the racks. Hope you are enjoying the Bebe skirt. You’ll never believe where that one came from and how much it cost! My mom will be happy to know the skirt found a new home and the new owner is very excited about it!
