bargain buys

If you know me well, then you know I am a huge bargain shopper! My sister and I pride ourselves in how well and how often we shop at discount stores such as Marshalls, TJ Maxx. Ross, etc... We have to give credit to our fabulous mother who introduced us to searching through racks at a very young age, we mastered this skill before it was "cool" to shop there. I remember when we I was in middle school and high school and we would shop at TJ's and I use to get so mad that we wouldn't go to the mall! My mom tried to explain to us that we could get so much more by just doing a little work looking at these stores. At that time it did not matter to me... all I wanted was a shirt that said "Abercrombie"! (so dumb)

Well I want to thank my mother for teaching me so young, because now I'm pretty sure the ladies at Marshalls know me as I walk in! I love it when people ask where I got something and I quickly realize that EVERYTHING I am wearing is from one of those stores! (don't get me wrong, I still allow myself to splurge on some good old Anthro) The best thing now is shopping for baby clothes! It blows my mind people that spend tons of money on baby clothes when you can get the SAME thing for SO much cheaper!

Here are a couple of my purchases from Ross yesterday...

baby jammies ($4.99 & $1.49)

bamboo drawer organizers ($12.99)

picture frames ($4.99 each)

spaghetti measure ($4.99)

picture for Adelyn ($4.99)
