Smart & Savvy Shopping
I LOVE to shop, doesn't everyone? But, I love a great deal or getting a discount even better!! So, I've made it a point that whenever I have to buy something, I first check to see if I can get the item for less before I spend any money. I either compare prices online or see if I can buy something similar at a discount store or second hand store. I always check Amazon.com first to see a comparison of sellers and prices. I love vintage everything, so I also check out Craigslist, eBay, or Etsy for one-of-a-kind finds.
