I'm Cheap. You can call me frugal if you want to, but I don't see the need to euphemize. I'm cheap. When I go to DSW Shoe Warehouse, I head straight to the Clearance rack. I can't remember the last time I bought a new appliance (Beckers Used Appliances in Denver ROCKS!). My favorite clothes come from the consignment shop. I have a little jean skirt I paid $1.75 for at the Christian Mission in Daleville, Alabama. And I love it. Ditto a hardback suitcase I got on sale there for $3.00.
If it's not at Wal-Mart, I probably don't need it.
You get my point. I'm cheap.
If you're the same way... and you like the SWS message, you might want to visit the Scratch & Dent section of my bookstore. There are four items in stock there right now - two digital CD products and some roughed-up copies of my two books. I've been traveling a lot lately, and since I always travel with my books, they tend to get a little scuffed in transit. I think there are 5 or 6 of each available. The digital CDs are older versions of my Dorky Announcement Letters - DEDorked and my Seriously Cool Bonus Toolkit. The CDs are $10 each and the books are $12.95 each.
Just thought I'd let my like-minded soulsisters and brothers know...
I'm like you. I love a bargain. I think of myself as frugal. It's always a thrill to get a fantastic deal on purchases.
It's a family thing with me! At Christmas, we would compare notes on what great deals we got on presents instead of trying to pretend we spent a fortune! Very practical, we Allans are...
Good for you Jennifer. I just hate shopping so I am really cheap....and probably badly dressed too in ancient clothing!
Good morning Jennifer,
What a great way to let those know about your "reduced" bargains! Thanks for the heads up!
Hi Jennifer,
WOW .....When you find a real value !!
JACKPOT
Hello Jennifer and this is Vegas Bob from Thailand and I have been hunting bargain every where I go on my trip! And believe me I have been saving so much money!
VB ;-)
Jennifer, It gets into your blood when you start making shopping a game. What a great way to same money.
I always head to the clearance spot too... Especially for the kids.
Thats not cheap, it is just smart!
I wish I had the "cheap" gene (my parents are so frugal) but I got the opposite unfortunately. However, in the book department I'm a huge fan of the Used side of Amazon.com so I love that you're doing something similar with your products!
Jennifer: I understand getting a good deal. The hunting is the fun part.
Lloyd - I actually hate hunting, but I love FINDING! I'm not much of a shopper.
Cari - I LOVE used books. There's a used bookstore in Denver that I can get lost in... and I always come away with a few bags and feel as if I hit the jackpot!
Robert - Thank you! I'm not cheap, I'm smart! I'll buy that.
Diane - Saving money is gooooood.
Bob - Are the bargains really as good as they say? Wow - what fun!
Robert - YEAH!!!!
Dorie - You're welcome!
Ellie - Me, too, unfortunately. Good thing I work from home...
Hee hee! I know where Daleville is (but I've never been shopping there)! :o)
It's the shopping mecca of Lower Alabama! Actually, I really miss their little grocery stores...
