The old curse: May you pay retail.

Only suckers pay full retail. Talk to customer service. They can get you a deal and help you save money. In tough times, they need to hold onto all the customers they can get.

Well that’s all well and good but consignment shops are really goldmines. They have the ‘Macy’ castoffs and some the clothing looks like it’s never been worn. I bought 2 beautiful blouses this past summer for a grand total of $1.50.

Forget haggling.

You want to talk about bargains? I just bought 9 Penny Postcards on eBay for $228.56 (includes shipping of course)...

Bought a set of high-end, fancy-pants name-brand towels and washclothes at the local flea market for $4. No haggling involved. The man was happy to get four bucks and I was happy to pay him - the American way.

I found the manager at the end of my line. Figured God put him there. Asked him about a senior discount....even though it wasn’t senior day...he gave it to me. Made an old lady happy!!
