I've found some bargains...scoured the op-shops and had a lovely time saving some money
As I mentioned in my original post here, I wouldn't be resorting to pre-loved underwear and I was in the market for some new bras this past week....but as usual, I waited for the sales and found a real bargain. Instead of paying almost $200 for new intimate apparel in the style I usually buy, I got 4 pairs for just under $90....and they'll last me for ages!
I've also been haunting the op-shops and picked up some pretty nice little pieces of linen, doilies and cotton napkins etc. I think I've paid about $11 in all and many of them are quite beautiful. I have plans for them and will let you know about that later.
One other thing I have bought though, (and at full price) is a new pair of slippers for around the house.
I bought these.
I can't bring myself to wear second hand shoes or slippers but these will last a long time and I know they're going to be as comfy as anything because I already have another pair of Haflinger's and they're wonderful!
I can't wait for them to arrive from the UK...
Sure I've been tempted when I've been out and about, but I have refrained. I figure it'll be there tomorrow or the next day and if I truly "want or need" it then I can always go back and get it. So far though that hasn't happened.
So, onward and upward with the challenge...so far so good.
Good work! I have found if I just avoid the city and therefore don't go into shops, I can avoid spending money :) Though everything is wearing now, so I'll have to do a spot of bargain shopping soon. I agree, I'm not a fan of second hand underwear (yuck!!!) or shoes.
ReplyDeleteThose shoes look super comfy :)
Sarah, they are comfy! I've bought sheepskin ugg style slippers in the past and they last me less than a year...these will last a long time!
ReplyDeleteI love a good bargain.
