An Update On My Mother's Bargain Obsession...
Do you remember that article about my mother’s obsession with bargain hunting? Well, here's an update. Early this morning I arrived to my mother's house to spend the day with her. Once I opened the door, she very happily said (in Spanish):
Mom: Hi, sweetheart! How are you?
Me: I’m good, Mom, how about you?
Mom: Oh, I’m great! Wait until I show you what I got yesterday after work! Wait! Let me look for them! Stay put, Ok?!
Me: Uh… ok, Mom.
She rapidly picked up the goods and told me the long and complex story of how she purchased these items so cheap. Now, let me break this down for you:
Regular price $60.00 – Got it for $8.99
White Cotton Top
Regular price $48.00 – Got it for $7.99
Black INC Top (she said she monitored this item for a full month until it got to the price she was willing to pay for it)
Regular price $65.00 – Got it for $9.99
Retro Top
Regular price $45.00 – Got it for $7.99
If purchased at regular price, the grand total would have been $218. She spent $34.96… a total savings of $183.04…
Unbelievable!
