I'm REALLY jealous! Boy do I looooovvvveee diamonds...
We got an awesome deal on my set too though. Went to the Jewelry Exchange and we bought everything from the same guy so he gave us an awesome deal on my engagement ring. I got a 2.59 ct round brilliant and it appraised at nearly 4X more than we paid.;D I still get struck dumb by it occasionally and nearly walk into walls and stuff.

^^Yep, that's why I'm jealous. Not that I'm a big jewelery glam girl, but I might be if I could get deals like that.;)
Post pics philly! I wanna see. I don't get to oooh and aaaah over diamonds since I got mine cause most people get pissed.
I know you have pics, the wedding photogs always take pics of a good sized rock. Even my cheap-ass photog took weird ring photos. I'll post mine if you post yours. ;D

Oooh I'm am a coupon queen! I always follow all the coupon rules, and never clear any shelves.
I don't buy anything with out a coupon except perishables. A lot of times I can coupons for them. I save at the very least 30% on every grocery trip. It realllly adds up. I no longer buy store brands because I get the name brands cheaper!

I bought a Le Creuset pot at a thrift store for 24 bucks!

Bought a 2 family house for $2,500. One side rented at 500/mo from day one. The other side rented at about $600 after 6k in renovations. GOOD profit.

Can I ask where this is?
Re: Bargain Hunting Brag Thread
I am an avid thrift store shopper. I especially love shopping at the Goodwill Outlet! It's $0.85 each piece of clothing -- $0.75 homegoods -- $2 shoes
Some store charge by the pound but mine doesn't :(
My latest find: A genuine Dooney & Burke purse for $0.75!!!

I got nine large scented candles for free dumpster diving behind the craft store last night. Half of them are kind of too girly for me (still smell nice just not my faves) but the other half are fruity (key lime pie smells yum!) The best score to date though was the night I got a bunch of pans and cast iron pots new in box thrown out behind a grocery store. No chips or anything. My boyfriend and I now have a matching set for each of our places.
