    Default I saved money~

    I bought a dress, a top, and a pair of combat boots for just $30 at a used clothing store. It was my secret life long dream to own a pair of combat boots. It was destiny! I saw them in the window and even though they were two sizes larger than usual (even for boots, yes) I tried them on anyway. They fit perfectly! Although a little bug crawled out of the left one when I took the newspaper out of it. I saw a lot of really nice and cheap clothes, I think I'll do my shopping here from now on!

    JC Penny is having a massive sale right now. I just bought a $20 pair of pants for $4.

    Hahahaha I bought a pair of jeans for $1 once. We thought it was mismarked because it was surrounded by expensive jeans, but no, they were really a dollar. They felt very awkward and weren't sewn together correctly xD

    Im thinking further and further back and still havent come across anything recently

    If I was like Cloud I don't think I would have taken that test.
    Changed to stop Jessweeee♪ from going insane. Is that better?

    Ooooh nice deal on the boots. Are they a particular brand or just combat boots in general? I once found a pair of 12 hole Doc Martens, steel toe, for $25. Just slightly too big, but a little cloth in the toes makes them perfect.

    I love finding deals! I was looking for a flop hat forever, when I finally found one it was perfect... and I got a coat, a fab sixties dress, the hat and a pair of earrings for $50! And the coup de grace was that they all matched, and all I needed to finish the outfit was a pair of moccasin boots... which I later found used for $15! Yay me! xD

    Kinda excited about the potential of not having to borrow money to pay tuition next year, though it's still too early to tell for sure if I can swing it.

    I am an extremely economic gamer - I buy a lot of stuff on Steam during weekend and holiday sales. Left 4 Dead, Mass Effect, GTAIV, Unreal Tournament III, less than $10 each. Ballin' outrageous, son.

    I very rarely shop for myself outside of food. When forced to, I usually do so online, which makes finding the cheapest prices very easy.

    I'm gonna start saving up so I can go clothes shopping with my friend Laura for spring/summer. I haven't worn a skirt just for the heck of it in such a long time, it's going to be difficult to re-adjust methinks :o However, because I adore dressing up (though I rarely do it), I'm sure it'll be a great experience

    I also plan to buy me some shirts at Hot Topic and probably more Airwalks from Payless

    One time, someone on Ebay was selling a character on FFXI for 99 cents so I bid on it expecting someone else to just outbid me anyways.

    ... No one ever did!

    So I got a character that was level 75 White Mage/37 Black Mage which came in handy when I played in parties so I was able to level up with my main character and heal myself efficiently with a power leveller that I was controlling. The character also came packaged with 9 million gil!!

    ... All for 99 cents!

    I know this guy who I buy drum cymbals from and he sells them ridiculously under the RRP. I also like to buy certain clothes online, mostly because Perth is the worst city to try and find a band T-shirt or sports jerseys.
