So far, no one has ever left a baby on my front step. Sometimes, however, I open my front door to find that some anonymous but wonderful delivery driver has left me a bigly package like this. This one hails from ties.com—one of only a handful of companies with whom I will do neckwear business. They were having a clearance sale on their website earlier in the week, and I ended up ordering nearly 40 new neckties. Most of these ties were thriftily priced at $2.18 or $3.28, so y’all can see why I had to stock up. A star item in this particular crop o’ neckties is the bacon tie you saw in this morning’s TIE O’ THE DAY post. That bacon tie is normally $38.50. I’ll tell you a little secret about collecting just about anything with a price tag: the key is to be patient about prices. Everything goes on sale at some point. Of the thousands of ties and bow ties I have in my collection, I have paid full price on maybe a dozen. For all of my alleged extravagance regarding my neckwear, I am truly a thrifty chick. 💸
