If we could all learn to buy our summer clothes in the Fall and winter clothes in the Spring we would save a ton of money. It took time to do all of this, but it was fun doing it.

Bargain Time
Don't you all love this time of year...I mean those wonderful bargain racks. I know that it takes time to look...and try on various article of clothing but it can be fun and rewarding. For instance...
For me it all started with a brown and white top. I beleive it was like $30.00 and I got it for only $10.00. Now all I needed was to find a nice white skirt or pants to go with it.
But it would also be nice to find a necklace to draw it all together. Soooo today I was going to see my mother. I stopped at Arby's to get her an orange swirl drink, but it was 9:50 and they don't open until 10:00. WHAT'S THAT ALL ABOUT? Anyway my favorite store Kohl's is just around the corner. (And they open at 8:00) Why not spend those 10 minutes looking. Yeah...just looking. Well you guessed it there on the bargin counter was this necklace for $7.20 (was $18.00). And since I had my new top on, it went perfect with the outfit.
Now I hadn't found any white pants YET. So I rushed by the bargain rack of clothes and low and behold there was one pair of white pants (and yes in my size). Bargain price $9.80. (Orig. cost $49.00)
Now you tell me! Did I do good or what? My total cost at Kohl's was only $15.64. Yes today is Wednesday and it's SENIOR CITIZEN DISCOUNT DAY!!!! I got $2.55 more off of my purchase. There are some advantages to getting old. With the blouse the whole outfit is only $25.00. Not too bad.

I need you around here to help me find some bargains :) Good job....I love your new outfit!
Looks great, Aunt Juliet! I guess the "I must find the best buy" instilled in me is a Rehfeldt thing :)
That brown and white top looks so cute on you! I forgot to tell you the other day - and I really like the necklace. I love an outfit that's worth a lot more than it costs! You're such a bargain hunter!
That is too cute! And, yes, what's up with places that don't open until 10?! I don't get it. Don't they know there are waiting customers??
