Now I focus on buying really high quality clothes (like Carhartt) that will last me for years and years. I will pay more for quality and just shop WAY less often. It is working out very well so far. That’s the way to go Jennifer!

Why? Because I didn't need it. I decided to set aside a little money each paycheck to put in a fund for a new purse (or shoes or dress or whatever...) when I find another deal I really don't want to pass up!

At some places, you may think you are getting a great deal when in fact, you are just getting the same price as what it was before Christmas. For example, my mother-in-law works at Sears and their Christmas decorations are the same price as they were before Christmas. Yet, she said everyone was cramming back in that department just grabbing stuff. Just because it's after Christmas doesn't mean the deals are great! I would wait at least another week to get some Christmas stuff. You should still be careful about the deals.
