A little non pony brag!

okay this weekend I went shopping with my mom. I didn't buy a lot. We like stopping at thrift shops or Goodwill. Anyways I've always wanted a Coach purse. And if you've ever shopped for a designer purse you know Coach is retarded on prices.

Well at goodwill we were about to checkout and there is a glass case up there and I was checking it out before I left and I saw this purse in there. I'm looking and I'm think wow that looks like a Coach so I asked the lady to pull it out for me. It indeed was! So I examine it looking at the condition and its mint. Then I grab the price tag think well they probably want a kidney for it. It was $50! So I had got my cell phone rebate back for $50 and I bought it and the best part is that the money was basically what I had saved from my cell phone! I didn't feel so guilty!

I was so excited to finally have one! Its not a tiny one either.I priced them out about that size at Macy's and they want around $250 to $300!

That's so cool! I'm very happy for you. My sister is all into fancy purses, so I know what a score this is!

For the past year I've been very dilligent about shopping used like thift shops,goodwill,rummage sales and I'm proud of it too because I save a lot of money buying things that are gently used,but at one time very exoensive. I figure I buy $100 jeans for $6-$10 and get one year of use I'm pleased as pop with that investment.

I don't even mind if they look worn! That makes comfy and broke in. Anyone that has given me beef about my shopping habits I just laugh and say "Well maybe I am poor or I'm just a tight wad,but the thing is I didn't go broke getting my wardrobe and things I like"

Someone even tried to tell me I had bought a fake. Its not a fake. The coach logo and name is embossed on the inside in leather and the side on the bottom leather of the bag says coach as does the metal charm on the handle!
