You know how when you shop you always want to get the best value for your money? When was the time when you were able to find the best bargain that you really felt you got your money's worth perhaps even more? What was the item?
In my case, it has to be a pair of brand new Escada loafers. I only got it for 25 USD. They were on sale because the Escada boutique was going to transfer to a newer building. I feel like I should have gone back for more shoes and clothes. I wonder if that kind of sale will happen again. :)

The best ever bargain I got was a book I bought at a yard sale for $1 and I sold it on Ebay and got nearly $300, it turned out to be a collectors item and concidering i only bought the book as I felt awful not buying something ..

WOW!!! This is really something! When you put it up on eBay did you have a clue that it was worth something already! :) Lucky you! So, how did you spend all the moolah you got from the sale? :)

I knew it was a popular book but I didn't realize there was a collectors club on this book until I gooled the name after i got a few questions about it...

The best deal I got recently was on these sweaters. They are 100% cashmere and they were half off. I got two for me one for my brother and another two for my sons, five in total and paid less than 200$ for all of them. When I looked at the reciept I should have paid over 500$ for them all which still would have been a good deal considering they were all cashmere. The fact that I got 5 for around 270$ I think is a great deal and the best i've seen in months.

I like going to the bundle shop because from there I can get many branded clothes with the price so low that you may not believe if I tell you. It is situated in my town. Actually I am not very concerned about what brand it is, but the most important thing it is branded clothes.
At first I was just browsing just to make time pass with my husband. But later at the back row I saw a rack of ladies clothes, all of them are branded. And each one of them are outing clothes, and not sit at home clothes. They sold all of them RM5 for two clothes. Just imagine how cheap can that be? I bought 8 clothes and all of them look as good as new and the designs have no faults. It is just maybe because it is an old pattern and the previous owner is rich and she no longer wants to wear them.
Until now the bundle shop is still there but I haven't gone there for quite some time. After writing this, I remember again about the place and I look forward to go there to see if there are any good bargains to offer like before.

I like branded clothes too. I like going to overrun shops around here and often times I can get them real cheap since they are overruns. They are brand new but they overproduced so they are sellin them at a cheaper price. Sometimes there are also little imperfections but at teh end of hte day, the materials that they used are still very nice. :)

I found a 37 inch LCD TV for $90, i thought that was a great deal. The same day I found a portable DVD player for 10. Also a digital camera for $30. Last week Amazon had the entire Nightmare on Elm street series on DVD for $20.
I guess I am a bargain hunter LOL.
