My husband’s $30,000 Harley sold for $14,000 after only three years. No. We didn’t get ripped off. That was the value of the bike.
Try Goodwill. There are many brand-name clothes that are in great condition at a steal. (All goodwills are not equal. The one’s in the bigger cities have MUCH better selections.)
and look at ROSS. They have very nice (new) clothes - name brands - at fantastic prices.
I’ll buy a nice blouse at walmart for $20 and have it tailored for $12. I now have a $32 blouse that’ll last me for five years. (If I take care of it... but that goes for everything.)
I’m all about quality. But there are ways to get the most bang for your buck.
(Seriously. You’re going to love ROSS.)
Hubby and I have paid off $91,000 in debt over the last 6 years while raising two sick kids on one paycheck. We did it by being cheap bastards.
But we have nice clothes. We just paid cash for a ‘65 Falcon that’s being restored. We paid cash for my PT Cruiser (Don’t say a word. I *LOVE* my car!) that will end up costing us as much as a new car by the time we’re through with all of the upgrades. (But I’ll have my dream car.)
Hubby and I have to move (the army says so) in 8 months and we’re buying nice, quality pieces and replacing all of our household goods.
BUT I’m taking my time and shopping for the best deals. Not cheap crap. Good deals.
yeah, Harley resale values ain’t what they used to be. I won’t be picking up and clothes at the good will either btw. There are people far more needy than I. To be honest, I’m far from poor but I do notice that A.) things ain’t getting cheaper and B.) Wal Mart sells Chinese made junk. furthermore, I remain opposed to Cain’s 999 plan and for several reasons.
