Anyway, you know my thoughts on JCPenney now, I think it is a good concept. I still love my deals though and I have price points for certain things - especially shoes and staple items like t-shirts and such. I think I'm even pickier when I'm thrifting - I don't ever want to overpay for something thrifted if that makes sense!Beth (Coffee Until Cocktails)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13966675621394412590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-73842260190599599452012-04-01T02:15:15.214-04:002012-04-01T02:15:15.214-04:00I agree!

I have very exact cut offs of how much I'm prepared for to pay for shoes, boots, jackets etc. Its very seldom that I'll pay more than personally set limit for an item.<br /><br />Hope you doing grand sweet Ally :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10435812178629895806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-15513873245686342802012-03-29T23:13:13.841-04:002012-03-29T23:13:13.841-04:00I have thrifted so long that I honestly do not kno...I have thrifted so long that I honestly do not know the price of most retail clothing. that's one reason I decided to do my window-shopping project this year, to reacquaint myself with the going prices.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-85986347673043593372012-03-29T22:20:43.282-04:002012-03-29T22:20:43.282-04:00I think everybody has an 'anchor price' in...I think everybody has an 'anchor price' in their mind for everything they buy. And given the way information travels and is shared today, it is safe to assume that consumers know what is worth what! Sadly we still get ripped off sometimes for mass produced cheap stuff sold in swanky stores! Nice post...I have not read the article though!

I'll buy something overpriced on occasion if it's something I will kick myself over and over again for not having, but other than that, I know where to find everything at a good price. I've stopped going to regular clothing stores and am shopping thrift instead. The thrill of never knowing when I'll find that item on my wish-list makes it all the more fun!<br /><br />www.thatzannigirl.comKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18199931219768023093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-41718990779826397852012-03-29T13:15:20.381-04:002012-03-29T13:15:20.381-04:00Yes!

Dear Hubby does all our technology shopping, and I thrift, shop discount retailers, or wait until considerable (and expected) markdowns on items I'd like. <br /><br />I sort of like thinking of myself as a "mathlete" :DThe Goodwill Fangirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845712888337339929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-81776279789094877012012-03-29T11:06:54.426-04:002012-03-29T11:06:54.426-04:00I agree with Kari on this.

Most of my shoes at this point retailed for 250-400USD.. however for the majority, I waited until I could combine sales, discount codes, clearance, etc. to get them all under $150, or in many cases much less. <br /><br />Clothing I'm even less likely to splurge on, but I do have a few things that had the magical combination of on sale enough and what I want. However I thrift most of my clothes.<br /><br />I also win because I have really tiny feet, usually show/sample size and fit into sample size clothing. These sizes are often what is left on websites or store racks during seasonal sales.<br /><br />Also I've had a post written on what <i>can</i> sway women to shop. Or not. I'd love your opinion, so I went ahead and posted it.Megan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10169811757787686946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-70472193409940615402012-03-29T10:51:05.134-04:002012-03-29T10:51:05.134-04:00It depends on how much I want it, what I want it f...It depends on how much I want it, what I want it for, and how much money I do or do not have at the moment ... :-) but usually I'll wait until I feel like I'm getting a good deal.Kari.http://ladykchronicles.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-24760447574484013222012-03-29T09:51:56.341-04:002012-03-29T09:51:56.341-04:00Hmmmm!!!

I figured $13 was all right, but $9 for shipping seemed so strange for one item. I convinced myself to hold off until I could find it in store. I went in yesterday, and the dress was $27. How is it cheaper to buy AND SHIP online? Not to mention in the end, the dress was a bit big. At $13, delivered to my home, I would have not thought twice about pulling out my sewing machine, but at $27 (Ok, I realize that's not really a lot of money for some people, but I am unemployed:D), I put it back on the rack and grumbled my way out of the store (and home through rush hour traffic, and for the rest of the evening)Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05841483032637664853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-8980875017402948912012-03-29T08:54:25.010-04:002012-03-29T08:54:25.010-04:00My rule of thumb is to only buy things on sale.
