Carnivale of Couture

The Bargain Queen asks:

What is your best-ever bargain? Where did you find it, how much was it and why is it your favourite?

That’s a tricky one. The most recent bargain was one that I picked up just this Saturday at The Salvation Army Family Store, in of all places, Golden Grove. I went in there for a little bit of retail therapy and found a green cardigan. No idea who it’s made by or what it’s made from as all the labels had been cut off. It had a blue price tag on it that said $7.50. When I went to pay for it I was told it was only $3.75 because it had a blue tag on it and they were half price right now! Bargain!

Last Sunday at Harbour Town (a bit like DFO) I went to Cotton On, one of my favourite places to shop. I bought 4 long sleeved tops for around $35. That’s pretty good value for money!

As for a favourite bargain, I’m not sure I have one. I’m always picking up new things for not much money…. Op shops (thrift shops for you Americans :-) ) are one of the greatest places to find bargains!

    How weird.. I landed here via the Bargain Queen blog which is a blog I read fairly often looking for links to UK shopping sites. Anyway, how weird that you visit the blog too, and that I clicked on your post cos I was interested to see what bargains you’d found.

    The internet is far too small! :) Hope you are well!

    It’s a small world indeed :) The internet has made it seem smaller!

    [...] Katie can’t nominate a favourite bargain of all time, but her recent favourites are a $3.75 green cardigan and four long-sleeve cotton tops for $35. [...]

    Hey there, just noticed that there’s a link to the old site here.

    The post that ‘The Bargain Queen’ links to is now at:

    If you get a chance to update it, that’d be brilliant. Have a great day!
