Day Five, Shirt #1. CHAPS. I adopted this colorful shirt from Kohl’s yesterday, for a grand total of a bigly $1.34. According to the price tag, its price began at 60 buckaroos. I found it on the clearance rack priced at $16.50, after a couple of previous price reductions. And then…Voila! I had a $15 birthday coupon from Kohl’s, and I added to that a percent-off coupon, and the price fell to that bigly $1.34. Now that, I could afford.
I get such a thrill out of exercising my right to be thrifty. I could further improve my thriftiness on clothes, if I could manage to buy wardrobe from Deseret Industries. Alas, I get weebs and geebos when I try to wear pre-worn clothes, including ties, no matter how many times I wash or dry clean them. I’m not being snooty about it. It’s more of a phobia. I am, however, happy to donate to D.I. as much as possible.
I do want you all to know that my thrift has a couple more limits. I do not engage in extreme couponing, nor do I spend my days walking the aisles of stores in the hope of finding bargains: I have a real life, full of countless other things to do.🙃
