“Add to cart.”
There’s nothing I love more than a good bargain. Then again, I have no problem dropping $2K on a designer bag. I’m a Gemini. Sue me. But at the end of the day, my philosophy is as long as my bills are paid and I continue to contribute to my savings and retirement, I’m gonna spend my money on what I want. 💅🏽 I’d like to think I got a good combination of my mother and father in this sense. She’s all “who looks at the price tag?” while he has worn the same overcoat for 40 years.
The funny thing is I love to buy new things, but as I’ve gotten older, I hate the physical act of shopping. I’m not exactly an impulse buyer. I like to mull over all the possibilities of what I’m getting vs. how much I’m paying for it – which can equal up to an hour or more in one store. This pretty much forced me into online shopping. First it was items I didn’t have to try on, then once I found out what size fit me best at which stores (because they do vary!), that was all she wrote. It’s gotten to the point where I’m surprised when I open packages because I’ve forgotten what I bought! I might have a problem.😩

What them coins do?
Until my mega millions and AMC stock hit 😁, I’m gonna continue to bargain shop! I spend so much time scrolling through Amazon looking for quality merchandise, that I figured I might as well share my finds with you. BTW, have you checked out their Black-Owned Businesses page?
