Re: Bargain Hunting Brag Thread
Apparently, I'm really bad at bargain hunting. I went shopping this afternoon to hit the Memorial Day sales, and managed to only purchase things not on the sale racks. ::) I'm happy with what I got, but geez! Not a single sale item! I mentioned this to the girl checking me out in the last store I hit, so she gave me a 5% discount out of pity.

Re: Bargain Hunting Brag Thread
Bargain hunting means shopping which means spending $$$. I'd much rather save and invest. Let HIM spend money on me.

Re: Bargain Hunting Brag Thread
Ahhhhh I love this thread....I'm so cheap~ I love bargin hunting. The only thing I can think of right now is 2/$5 fake lashes at Walgreen. I bought like 6 pairs, and I"m going back for more before the sale goes off.
The only problem I have with sales is sometimes (ok, alot of times) I buy stuff just because its on sale.....oooh but its such a good deal, I overlook its a hunk-o-junk I never use.

^^^ There's an old saying... a man will pay $5 for a $2 item that he needs, and a woman will pay $2 for a $5 item she doesn't need.

Re: Bargain Hunting Brag Thread
Gabe's is da bomb for real...
Last time I was there (Weirton, WV), I scored a pair of Seven jeans for $9, a Frederick's corset for $4, three American Apparel tees for $2 apiece, and a Bebe dress for $10. I plan on going home regularly just so I can stock up on cheap designer baby duds!

Re: Bargain Hunting Brag Thread
I went to Buffalo Exchange the other day and got a perfect condition Betsey Johnson skirt for $18.50.

Re: Bargain Hunting Brag Thread
^^^ Buffalo Exchange is awesome.
I've scored some 200 something dollar jeans for $35 before. Reminds me I've been meaning to take those and a lot of my other designer thrift store finds to sell back to them now that they are too big. I mostly shop there or at Ross/TJMaxx exclusively. I get designer fashions on a Forever 21 budget.

Where is this place?
One time I went to Marshall's and got a BCBG tracksuit (pants and jacket) for $40. About a week later I went to the Ross next door and got another BCBG track suit for $40. Each one was supposed to be $240! $480 worth of stuff for $80 :) That's the best I've done so far I think.

Re: Bargain Hunting Brag Thread
My current best is the $2400 watch I got for five bucks because some idiot didn't know a windup couldn't take batteries.

Re: Bargain Hunting Brag Thread
Great thread! I'm not a big couponer, because nothing I buy seems to have coupons, except Celestial Seasonings tea. Is there a site for organic/healthy food coupons? I'm going to try on toiletries though-I probably spend more on that than on food!
My big love is Craigslist-got a 1923 Singer sewing machine for TEN dollars, because the woman didn't know better.
Also-if there is a Wegman's near you, shop there! They are always cheaper than other stores around here, especially on produce, because generally they don't have sales on regular groceries, so the price doesn't go down, then way up. I don't like their store brand, but the rest is great.
ETA: Looks like Eversave has a number of healthy food coupons!

Re: Bargain Hunting Brag Thread
They are divine. They don't always have highend stuff there at all times but they always have good deals. Where I live is a college town so most of the snappy stuff is snapped up quickly. I thought I was going to pass out when I found those TR jeans.

Re: Bargain Hunting Brag Thread

Re: Bargain Hunting Brag Thread
We saved about 25K on my wedding ring because we did everything wholesale instead of retail.
Makes a HUGE difference!
