I tried once telling Corby I got a good deal on something because its a xxx dollar amount item and I got it for xx dollar amount (I don't remember what it was). So he took a plastic fork and wrote $8000 on it and said there now it's an $8000 fork, it says its $8000 so it must be worth $8000. Just because something is sold for that price doesn't mean it is at all worth that price and you aren't necessarily getting it for a "good deal" even if it's half the original price if the original price is ridiculous to begin with. Just something to think about. And yes I would never consider a $180 jacket a "steal" I don't care what it looks like or is made of or who designed it. But clothes and fashion are not something I care about...I hate clothes shopping. If something is above my budget I won't even try it on. I only go clothes shopping when I have to, for an event or a trip. That being said I have a ton of clothes and I hardly wear them, but I've also had them for years, had people give me clothes (really need to stop taking them when offered as I don't wear most of them). My job is a pet groomer, I wear a ratty shirt under a smock, that's what I wear every day. So I only wear nice clothes when I leave the house, which isn't often ha ha.

In general I'm pretty cheap. But I'm also too lazy to go to stores all the time to check prices and wait until things go on clearance....unless it's on clearance the day I'm there I'll just not buy it, I don't go shopping. I wish I was awesome at the whole coupon cutting thing my sister in law gets things for free/dirt cheap all the time...once again, just too lazy for that. So I just don't shop really, now groceries I work right by a grocery store so often times I will only buy items I use often when they are sale and stock up but if I need them that day I'll get them if I have to. I have no issues dropping way too much money on dog food of course, though when we had a sale on my dog food half off I went to multiple stores and bought them out I haven't bought dog food in a while - when you have 4 big dogs you can buy it in bulk when its on sale. Also if there's a bigger item I want and have been saving up for I will sometimes spend quite a bit but that's only after days of researching and finding out if its really worth more for the higher quality item.
