I have long maintained that my mother has an impressive innate sense of where a bargain can be found. That sense brings her right to the sales rack with amazing deals. It's like she has a tracking device for these things. Numerous times I have been with her as she locates the single perfect item in the right size and perfect color, conveniently marked down from $110 and now priced at $9.99 (and then 30% off of that). She came to New Jersey this holiday season and put her radar shopping skills to work on my behalf. Yesterday, she found me a skirt marked down from $110 to $28. The day before it was the $50 sweater marked down to $9.99. And today, Mom delivered by finding the 70% off sale at one of my favorite stores.
That $89 jacket that I had been visiting for the last few months? $23.98 today, with the magical shopping mom in tow.
So now I have some new clothes to go with my new life in the new year.
And they were all of them at low, low prices.
Very, very impressive. Especially for those among us who consider shopping a competitive sport. Your mom sounds world class!
