This Bargain Fashionista has been tearing up the town, rockin' and rolling to the tune of lots and lots of bargains...can't wait to share my good fortune, all my savings and a few cute stories along the way. The magic was in the air for me the last couple of weeks, my ducks were all aligned and there probably were a couple of full moons...so let's get started with the bucket list of savings.
I always like to check out things at my local Sears store and this time I never even got past the jewelry department. They have some fabulous brands of costume jewelry and always have a little markdown rack. I spotted a pretty green glass heart necklace reduced from $12 to $6. Okay I'll take that and also saw a little silver necklace in the shape of a sunshine, it looked almost like sterling silver (no kidding!!)...okay I'll take that also...it was reduced to $3.99, why not. Go to the check out and to my surprise the little sunshine necklace rang up for 99 cents. Thank you Sears for making my day!!!
Moving down the bucket list...a few weeks ago a stop was made at Burlington Coat Factory. A cute little cotton black and white tunic top crossed my path. The tag said "compare at $44.00" and it was marked $2.98...SOLD, I could wear this once and throw it away...seriously!!!
I'm on fire now with savings and this one really sizzles!!! My gal pal and I went shopping last week and one of our stops was Chico's...always a winner. My eye went right to a golden colored layered and ruffeled spring/summer top and the good news... it's on the $14.99 rack...I'm liking this so far. I try it on and it fits like a glove and this is something that needs to go into my wardrobe. So the original price was $79 marked down to $34.99, on the $14.99 rack and that day another 15% off just because and because I'm a passport member another 5% off so...that brought it down to $11.99...no complaints from me. Now for the best savings of the day...heading to Christopher and Banks, 2 round racks with a sign above stating..."starting at $6.99". But a wonderful saleslady told us that everything on that rack was $6.99...no way, let's take another look!!! I ended up with 3 sweaters and 1 skirt and here is how it breaks down...2 sweaters marked at $65.50 for $6.99, 1 sweater marked at $55.50 for $6.99 and 1 skirt marked at $59.50 for $6.99...game on!!! Figure about a $250.00 savings!!!
And I must include the little shopping the hubby and I did at Kohl's...sale signs everywhere. In the shopping cart, 3 men's turtlenecks, 1 ladies bracelet and 1 ladies pair of corduroys and we spent $33.52 but we saved $128.60...only in America!!!
The bucket list shopping and saving extravaganza has now been shared by all. Whether it be the right time or the right place, if you like to take your time and hunt and search for bargains you are going to come out a winner every time. Go for the glory, go for the guts, go for the bargains!!!
