What was your best deal you got on any merchandise in 2007?? A bargain you found that you thought was too good to be true, until you found out it was indeed true when you got to the cash register. Or maybe in your favorite thrift store and you stumbled upon true treasure lying among the castoffs?
:p
Share...what was the 'find' that saved you the most money?
Mine literally blew my husband away...and he benefitted from it directly!!! :D
I was shopping in my favorite thrift store one day, not really looking for anything in particular, just passing some time before I had to pick my daughter up from school.
I was walking down the aisle where the men's suits were hanging. I glanced down, and saw a different looking tag hanging from one of the sleeves, so stopped to look. This was the original price tag for this suit from the major department store where it was originally purchased. it read $389.89!!! Just out of curiosity, I looked for the thrift store tag...it read $14.95! :eek: NO WAY!!! So, I look a little further, thinking, too good to be true, and found that it's the size that my husband wears. I inspected it for damage, tears, soil....found nothing. Marched it right up to the cash register and bought that sucker. :queen:
I went straight from the thrift store to pick up my daughter, then straight to the dry cleaners with it. 2 days later, suprised my hubby with a brand new dress suit, and he was blown away when I showed him the price tickets. :-)
