Bargains that even I can afford
by Tiff on Feb.09, 2009, under Life, Shopping
Oh. My. God. I stopped at Ross tonight on the way home from work, hoping to find something relatively-valentiney for J. I was floored by the bargains there, I mean call it the recession, call it that I don’t get out much but Holy. Shit. I found this gigantic beautiful expensive looking wall mirror (something I have wanted for a while) for 40 dollars, a set of alcohol glasses for all different kinds of drinks for 29.99 (we have never had a champagne flute, or an approrpiate glass for anything except wine or beer), a Breakfast At Tiffany’s retro poster in a frame for 19.99 (Just in case you wondered, I have ALWAYS wanted that in my house or apartment!), and big, nice-looking area rugs for 10-20 dollars.
Alas, I was a good girl, I know I don’t need to buy it “today” but I made a serious mental note and I left thinking about how 100 dollars at Ross may very well decorate my apartment and finally make it homey-feeling. We are in a bit more need of a new couch but we have so few decorations and we both want just a smidge of personality here. We have one big blue flower framed picture that I got from Ikea some years ago (that I love) and 3 colorful vases that I got at Target (that I also love, despite there being no real reason to have them except they look all moderny)
So, that is my excitement for the week, I may go back and drool some more tomorrow night even.

Ross is like heaven for poor people. I get most of my clothes there, too! And bags.
