Overpriced!

0 comments
The Spring semester has begun and with it come expenses. I simply could not believe that a book that would be only used for 4 months, 16 weeks, 2 days per week in lectures, would be priced for more than $250!!!! Immediately, I began searching through many ( and I mean MANY) sites where I could find this particular book much cheaper. But my hard work was not in vain, the purchase of 7 books totaled $230! Today, I came across a Betsey Johnson purse that I really like. And yes, I compared prices for it. One site is selling this purse for $195 and others for about $165.


I just placed an order for this purse; it was selling for $97.50

More $$$$ for my pocket! : )

n. A person who dresses stylishly on a tight budget.

Does that commonly used term describe you? Here are some tips that can help you stretch your dollar:



1 Purchase trendy clothing at discount department stores. Dont repress your fashion cravings, select clothing from clearance aisles or clearance racks. The clothing may be ticketed about 50 to 70 percent of its retail price.

2 Shop at outlet malls. You will find your favorite brands at a lower price. Get wonderful deals!


3 Become a member of frequent shopping clubs. Doing so, you will be eligible to receive reward discounts in addition to low prices. You may be also be entitled to receive cupons through mail or email.


4 Buy celebrity trends lower cost fashion stores and women boutiques. You may be able to find a similiar clothing piece that you recently saw your favorite celebrity wearing at a fashion event.

5 Shop vintage, thrift stores and consignment stores for winter wear. You will be amazed at the great clothing you will find there!!

6 Create a designer swap party. Invite a group of friends and encourage them to bring at least 10 clothing items that they own and no longer use. In addition to spending quality time, you may become the new owner of new clothes!


Be creative and search for great shopping opportunities, but most important of all, explore a variety of stores to find great savings!

The Betsey Johnson, "Lady Jungle" camel Satchel is my best companion. The colors are great! The design is unique, not to mention the delicate material.






Look at the glossy black trim and the goldtone zippers!







So spacious and fancy!
