Superstar Saver: I'm Hooked

I'm Hooked

Louis Vuitton, Dooney and Bourke, Coach, Kate Spade- purses are NOT cheap. For those of you have spent hundreds on "the most amazing bag, EVER" make sure you get the most out of your money. My mom recently introduced me to these bag savers. The simple hooks balance on the side of a table or desk and hold any size bag(for the most part). These have been around for a while, but some how have been flying under the radar. The floors at restaurants are dirty and you never know who might walk by and swoop your purse right out from under your seat. These are becoming increasingly popular and are available at stores such as Nordstroms and Neiman Marcus.

Available at Nordstroms- $32.00 (yikes, still pretty expensive)

Available at Neiman Marcus- $28.00 (Woo Swaroski crystal!)

Available at Z Gallerie- $9.95

Penny-Pinching Past

Since I was little my mom(the Coupon Queen) has taught me to save money and live frugally. Of course moms are always right...but back then I still thought I knew it all. So, I was convinced that money grew on trees and I should be entitled to whatever I wanted no matter what the price tag read.

Of course I quickly realized that that wasn't true. But, it wasn't until recently when I went off to college and became more financially independent that I really understood the importance of everything my mother had always told me.

This blog is my attempt at sharing tips on how to save, where to find steals and deals, and of course a space where I can gloat at a fantastic find.

Bargain Basics

To start off I have two basic guidelines for bargain shopping:
1. Love the hunt
2. Only buy gold

First, love the hunt. Bargain shopping is always a hunt. It's like sifting through cubic zirconium in search for the real diamond. I'll be honest bargain hunting takes patience and time. So don't expect to get a good deal when you're on a strict time constraint.

Secondly, only buy gold. This is a simple rule that I still have trouble with today. By this, I simply mean you cannot go into a store, find something you like, jump up and down when you see a clearance tag and buy it. You must first ask yourself, "Am I going to really use/wear this?" and "Will I find a better deal somewhere else/at a different time?"

And now you're on your way to huge savings!
