Inspired by MCWAY who is Getbig's GNC bargain shopper, I thought it would be fun to post your latest bargain.

Let's keep this ongoing.

Hey!  They're great for schleping to and from the gym or store and not messing up the tennies.  They're not a fashion statement!  I've seen them for $75-$100 bucks!  This is the bargain thread!  They were a bargain!

I always have to take stuff out of my basket when I get to the till.

Hundreds of thousands of slaves working in India and China to produce crap we don't need...

shouldn't the cheap and cheerful shopping thread be on the Girly Board or is it a General Topic?

I once had a job "sourcing".  I was between proper jobs and was paid to shop for TV commercials and pop videos.  I'd go borrow and fetch a pink Fender guitar.  I had to know where to go.

In NYC we called it Louis XIV street...



I've just bought what I can only describe as the most incredible pair of specs.  On eBay, for £8 plus P&P.  It's my birthday soon and I watched these for a week, bid lots and bought them.  They were delivered yesterday and I honestly think they're the most beautiful things I've ever purchased.  They're like 50 years old, unworn and in perfect nick.  Kinda purpley lilac marbley plastic with gorgeous ornate flowers in chrome.  They're truly awesome.  Rather eveningy, not daytime.  A fab find.

LOving the footwear, I've got similar slip-ons.


Wasn't sure about the frilly top, thought you were having us on?  Is it a pic of like a rhinestone reclining female?

I don't do t-shirts with pix or words on them, you'd have to pay me to be your logo.  Nice though, suits you, where will you wear it?

the bargains I dislike are in the supermarket when it's "buy two for one"

I got a pair similar to this for £1 at Oxfam and threw them in the washing machine.  I've had them years.  

I wear them in the back garden or taking the rubbish out front.  Mine are green with a pink sole.  You can move the sling back bit up and over.  They're terribly trendy at Festivals...

It's cute, but it's still a glorified T-shirt.  The reg. $ would have to be $25 and then marked down from there to be a "bargain" IMO  ;D  Like Lucky Brand shirts; Love 'em, but they're WAY overpriced.
