Shopping with Moi

As the majority of my friends and family are aware, I'm an adoring and dedicated fan of on-line shopping. More specifically QVC and HSN....love those sites especially when I find a great bargain without shipping - makes me smile all day. :} :} :} And then there is Ebay which is also on my list of favorite shopping sites. I'm not a fan of casino gambling, but for some reason I feel like I'm gambling when bidding on Ebay and playing the game of outbidding someone else for that coveted item. You know..waiting until the very last moment and sneaking in that last, HIGH bid!!! Love it!!! Imagine the frustration of the one losing to your very, high and sometime really stupid bid. That item better be worth all this anxiety and the adrenalin rush that pushed my blood pressure out of sight. Almost like winning the Power Ball........well not quite......

Yesterday I visited my absolutely favorite store in the whole wide Sharon's world - GOODWILL! What a place!! What prices!! Treasures are lerking in every corner, shelf and rack waiting to be found if one is a very focused and a dedicated bargain hunter. Also helps to be a snoop. Being an experience shopping snoop, I hunt for only the very best which means "new stuff." You know, items with the tags in place. Well, I hit the mother lode yesterday; new red silk slacks, beautiful white slacks from Talbots, new pink wrinkle resistant long sleeve blouse from Talbots, new orange "crinkly" blouse from Pleats Collection, new nighty, and a new cotton sweater from Target. What did I pay for all my wonderful finds? Well, because yesterday was Senior Citizen Day, I received an additional 25% off (getting old is good for something) so my final expenditure was $27.69. Not bad for 2 hours of scouring for bargains. Love that store!!!
