Budget shopping can be a bit of a game: there’s the thrill of the hunt and the overwhelming sense of pride you get when you find something for less…but there are also times when you search high & low only to come up empty-handed. And yet even worse is the feeling you get when you pay full-price for something & then see it hanging on the clearance rack months later (for significantly less than what you spent). One thing that I have learned throughout the years is that patience & persistence usually pay off. Sometimes I am truly amazed by the items I can find for just $20 and, as always, it is my joy to share them with you so everyone can score a great deal!
