Times are tough all over.
So we have to celebrate when we get a deal, don't we? Background: I have some health issues that require special shoes. So, when I need a pair of shoes I am used to paying close to $100. When I saw that the shoes I wear were now at $140, my heart just sank. I decided to dig a bit more...
Endless.com had them on clearance for $75 or $54...ok, the ugly ones were $54, but I decided we could do ugly for 21 bucks. Then, I realized that amazon and endless are connected...so I could use the amazon gift certificates I had gotten recently to pay for the shoes...BOOM...down to $4. Lovely! It does mean that I will have to wait for a book I have been hoping to get, but I'm sure I can find something else to read in the meantime...
Moral of the story...be a thorough shopper.

thats a really good deal :) you could always try to make the ugly ones prettier? paint them?
Great deal! You were thinking! Good sketch, too.
Jennifer...I'm not as clever as you are with the 3-D painting...and I've worn ugly shoes for years, so I should have gotten over it by now! :D
Excellent shopping skills. I'm coming to you next time I need to buy something! Should have checked with you before I bought those sofas... :)
Hey, you bargain shopper!! I'm happy to hear you got the shoes for $4!
Hey, don't knock comfortable, ugly shoes ... the older I get, the more I realize that comfortable feet are way more important than fashionable feet. :)
Congratulations on such a great bargain! Don't you just love internet shopping? :)
Oh, and I love your painting, A Peeling, on your other blog!
