It is no longer Friday anywhere in the world. I checked. But I haven't done an FTF since December and I have a really good one this week. Since it is my blog and I make the rules, I'm doing Favourite Things Friday on Saturday this week.
If you've followed me for any amount of time, you'll know that I love to get a great deal. Buying on sale is my middle name. In my family, we call it being a bargain shopper. And you bet your boots I am. I am very conscious of how I spend my money and I like to make it go as far as I can. That being said, I am not a thrift-shop kind of gal. There are lots of people I know who find amazing things at thrift shops and I truly admire them for this skill. Intellectually, I know that there are a great many wonderful deals to be had. But emotionally, it is much more satisfying to me to make an amazing find on the clearance rack. I love the feeling of getting something brand new for practically nothing. Case in point: The price tag on this red coat said $150.00. I brought it home with me for the sum total of $18.69. That is 88% off!

Special thanks to e. of Pink Suede Shoe for the photography. You are a genius.
I found a few other really great things on the clearance rack this week as well. There are probably too many to include in one post. As dorky as I feel posing for and posting pictures of myself, I've decided to break up my haul into smaller posts over the next few weeks and show you what I got on what I've decided to call Wardrobe Wednesdays. In the meantime, I'll be
I am the same kind of shopper! In fact I bought a coat not too different from that one (except it is camel colored) last year. I don't remember the exact numbers but I think the first price was somewhere near $200 and I ended up with it for around $35. I refuse to buy cheap stuff but I won't spend a lot for nice stuff either. It's a balance thing. ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a great buy and yep...I am the cheapest of the cheap!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a deal/steal! It looks great on you too!
ReplyDeleteI love buying things on clearance too. (We call them crazy bargains at our house ) Frankly it's just smart shopping- and if they can sell it for such a great price then it was overpriced big time in the first place.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your "crazy bargain". You look gorgeous in it!
yea! I love your new red coat and the great small price you paid for it!
ReplyDeleteWow..that was cheap! You look great on it. And you change your profile photo too :)
ReplyDeleteLove the coat. It looks great on you too
ReplyDeleteThat is a fabulous deal! And the coat is just perfect on you. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh yes, and my grandmother called the clearance rack, the "rotten rack". She was a great rotten rack shopper too.
