I am starting this blog for those folks out there like me who LOVE a bargain! I was trained in the skill of bargain shopping from my mother, a former buyer for the Sanger Harris department store chains. I fondly remember trips to Valley View Mall with my mom, trying to keep up behind her as she scoured the stores for deals. Mom had it all figured out. We parked on the second level, just outside the Dillards entrance, because at that time, with a mall that boasted both Bloomingdales and Sanger Harris, Dillards parking was always a ghost town. We hit the sales bright and early and always scored amazing deals. Mom NEVER paid full price and, for that very reason, I find it impossible to pay full price for anything. It literally causes me physical pain, and emotions of great disappointment, if I pay full price for something I know will go on sale.
Fast forward to today's world and, like most of you, I do the great majority of my shopping on-line. There are some fantastic deals out there -- on great stuff -- if you can find them. Oftentimes these deals are short-lived, sometimes a few hours, othertimes a few days. I plan on sharing my secrets to getting great clothes, toys, and home decor -- all at heavily discounted prices -- here. There are a few rules I live by when shopping on-line that this blog will also follow: (1) never shop on a website that doesn't accept returns; (2) always try to snag free shipping; and (3) always utilize credit cards to your benefit when shopping (more on this later).
I also spend a lot of my free time treasure hunting at places like TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Ross, and Tuesday Morning. I love finding deals. I really feel a rush of adrenaline and excitement when I score a super-duper deal. So I'm here to share my finds and hope some of you find this site helpful.
Happy Shopping!
