I was going to post a blog Mon-Fri but with only a sad number of only 1 follower I decided to stop posting.. It's sad that even my 'friends' and family members didn't even give my blog a chance.. I was very excited about sharing my knowledge of buying more, while saving more but I guess noone wants to.. So to all of my 'friends' and family, you guys suck!!! And if you're offended by this then you suck even more b/c it just goes to show how long you waited to even check my blog.. It's been a quiete awhile since I posted any blog and you just finally got to checking it out:( Thanks for nothing;(>)
P.S. Thanks for your support Sean:) It's nice to be able to count on someone:)

Eyes And Ears Wide Open
Always keep your eyes and ears open... Whenever I am at the mall, I always pay attention to the kinds of department store bags that shoppers are carrying around.. I am a big Bloomingdales and Macy's fan, so I am, for the most part, up-to-date with the latest sales and promotions, but other stores such as Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Sacks Fifth Ave., Lord & Taylor, among other stores, not-so-much.. I usually will go to one of these stores at random when I begin to see a myriad of shoppers with these department store bags... So, next time you go to the mall, check out the department store bags that shoppers have in their hands.. You might find yourself a favorite new store with lots of great bargains:)

Clearance, Clearance, Clearance
The meaning of the word 'Clearance' to me has evolved dramatically over the last few years. It definitely has become one of my favorite words to see at the mall. Clearance! Clearance! Clearance!
Clearance can be a shopper's best friend. Most of my favorite finds have come from the clearance racks/section. Just yesterday at DSW, I found a great pair of Columbia shoes for my boyfriend at an unbelievable price of $2.99.. Not bad considering it retailed for $40. I also found a really cute Harajuku bag for $3.05. Also a wonderful deal considering it retailed for $60.
There's absolutely no shame on buying clearance. Hey, if you have the money to buy full-price, hey it's your money but why would you?
I've told many people that getting into a lot of money would not change my shopping habits what-so-ever. Having more money, to me, would just mean I would be able to buy more things at the sale and clearance racks/section. So, next time you have some time to kill at the mall, why con't you go to your favorite stores and check out their clearance racks/section. You never know. You might just find yourself a great deal to hard to pass on:)

Reuse, Reduce, Recycle
Reuse, Reduce, Recycle...
It's not just for papers, plastic, and bottles anymore.. In this economy, it really does pay off to recycle previously worned outfits/dresses:) With a little accesory, whether it be a scarf, belt, fashion jewelry, or tie, any outfit/dress can be a new outfit/dress.. Just because you already wore it, it doesn't mean you can't wear it again.. Get creative and reuse a previously-worn outfit/dress.. And after you've done so, help the economy:) Use a little bit of that money you just saved to buy a new accesory to revitalized another previously-worn outfit/dress for that next event:)

To Buy Or Not To Buy
In this economy I check and double check everything that I buy or anything that I have shell out money for.. I repeatedly ask myself the same 2-3 questions...
-Do I 'really' need it?
-How many uses am I going to get out of it?
-Can I buy it at another time when it is cheaper?
Don't get me wrong, I like the name-brand items as much as the next guy but you'll never catch me pay more than 50% off its' original price... Anyone who knows me, knows that I love my Bloomingdales and Macy's but I pay less than the Walmart prices.. So, to all of you who likes the name-brand items, check out my blog and I'll reveal to you my secrets to having the best clothes and shoes but for the prices that will absolutely astonished you:)
