The Bargain Queen is hosting this week’s Carnival of Couture and her question is…
What is your best-ever bargain? Where did you find it,
how much was it and why is it your favourite?
I’m quite the bargain hunter and rarely pay full price for anything, unless I truly adore it and can’t live without it. It took some thought to write this post because I couldn’t decide which one was my “best-ever” as I have sooo many bargains that I love.
There’s the $1 jacket I found at Old Navy. I practically squealed at this great find…Not exactly “couture”, but it’s worked quite fine for me, thank you!
Then there’s the $8 pair of Saucony running shoes I purchased at Footlocker for women…
But my all-time favorite would have to be the shirt I’m wearing right now – my Jones New York black, long-sleeved shirt. I bought it at Ross (Dress For Less!) at the bargain price of $9.99.
You know how black shirts tend to fade after so many washes? Not this shirt. I love it because it’s made of this rayon-spandex blend, so it’s form fitting…it’s oh, so soft…can dress it up or down…and I can practically wear it with anything!
Wow, Ross; ha ha. My friend scouted me some great, fashionable slippers there. (They have a cute lady sunning herself.) I find it a tad difficult to shop there, though.
The $1 Old Navy jacket reminds me of "bargains" at Aeropostale. All the shirts I've bought there have been inexpensive, but they have always gotten discolored. Old Navy t-shirts last, though! I'm stocking up on some Delia's shirts. Hugs Not Drugs!: I've eyed that for a year and it still comes in my size. Hopefully they won't seem too "nice" to sleep in, because that's what I usually wear t-shirts for. (I have trouble finding PJs.)
