A $4 Designer Bag? How Sweet It Is.
Hi I’m Sarah Compo, Jean’s assistant. I book Jean’s radio show, do a bit of reporting here and there and help out with other things. Yesterday morning I was talking with Jean about a great deal I got and she thought I should share it with you…This past weekend, with ten dollars in my pocket, I stopped by my local Goodwill store, as I often do when I’m craving a bit of the satisfaction that comes along with getting a good deal. After I hit up the dresses, the house wares and the CDs (which I have to mention were half off this week…where else can you find a Goo Goo Dolls album and a “Reality Bites” soundtrack for $1.50?) a flash of red caught my eye. Yes, there, in the handbag bin was a brand new, red, Longchamp bag with the tags still inside. How much? Four dollars. Retail price? Near $100. Somehow this little red bag managed to sneak by the powers that be who lock bags like this away in the special glass cabinet (reserved for brands such as Coach, Prada and Louis Vuitton) and into my bargain-finding hands. I left Goodwill and rode my “I just got the best deal ever” high, over to Dairy Queen where I had just enough money left over from that ten dollar bill to treat myself to a small vanilla cone…a sweet reward for a sweet, money saving steal.
What’s the best deal you’ve ever gotten? Comment below, Jean would love to hear about it!
