You may not know this about me ~ but I am a coupon-clippin’, sale flyer surfin’, got every store discount card on my key ring totin’ kind of gal.  If a deal exists out there ~  I am ON it like a bad piece of lint.  The words 75% off, “one-time” only and FREE are as sweet to me as a pint of rocky road ice cream.

Now, some of you may find this deal-snagging talent of mine a tad annoying, especially if you’re standing behind me in line.  Some of you, however…

praiseThank you.  But no need for the praise.  Just follow along.

Over the years I have scored some major deals. It’s just simply what I DO.   Last week I scored this ~

kiminoJLSnickering to myself about the price I paid for this kimono jacket.  My kimono was $16.99 ~ but I had a coupon and a store card. Final price $7.99! That’s less than a southern smokehouse bacon burger from Chilis.  HOLLA!

kimino44Fab necklace: Mary Ellen Beads. Wouldn’t even think to try to deal-snag, she’s a girlfriend.

Want to inexpensively try out the kimono trend as well? Check out these five options:  (all under $50)

1. Shoptiques  2. Romwe  3. Tillys  4. Shoptiques  5. Urban Outfitters

And so, now I sit back and relax and think about how much money I just saved myself with my deal-finding, frugal shopping skills.  Dang  ~ I’m cheap good!  I’ve even got a little extra cash in my pocket.

UNTIL my eagle eye spies a sale sign in a store window. Hmm…like that sign over there.
