Notes of a shopaholic

Friday, October 10, 2003:

I have a great idea for a TV show: cheap eye for the strapped guy. Shopaholics who pay the full retail price and now face credit card debt would get a rundown on the rules of bargain shopping, like: Daffy's is well worth checking out at the beginning of the season (I found a pair of tweed pants from Block 60 for $40)

Don't underestimate Marshall's (where I found a pair of black wide-wale cordoruys for $30)

Keep an eye out for wearhouse sales (I picked up a pair of wool glen plaid pants for $30 at the Benneton's sale at a nearby Holiday Inn)

Stop at TJ Maxx's frequently (snagged a white sport shirt (I've needed one for ages) from Calvin Klein Jeans for $20)

And always stop at factory outlets when you're on the road (I picked up a green barn jacket at the Banana Republic Outlet at Concord Mills for $32)

Then our subject would have two months (because you can't bargain shop in a weekend) to makeover their wardrobe with $1,000.
