Happy New Year! If you’re reading this then you’re probably like me in that you a) survived 2020 and b) are a fan of good deals. I mean, who doesn’t love a good bargain? Answer: pretty much everyone. But have you ever bought something simply because it was SUCH a good deal and you couldn’t leave the store without scoring that bargain? If your answer is “no”, then I commend you for having the kind of self restraint that I don’t. But if it’s “yes” then you’re in good company.
I think I was naturally pre-disposed to shopping for fab finds on a budget but it was my paternal grandmother who was the queen of finding bargains. She took me under her wing early and nurtured this gift (or affliction depending on how you look at it). My gift is my curse. Go figure.
I recently recounted on Instagram this pair of Tory Burch wedge pumps that were a phenomenal deal. Sure, they had some scuffing but I was confident a little shoe polish would clear that up in no one. And they were only $6.99- yes only seven bucks!
Alas, the Tory Burch beauties were not my size … but they ARE my mom’s size! So I bought them. And then gave them to my mother. My mom loves looking great and jokes that all the nice stuff in her closet came from me. And that’s partially true (she’s a great fashionista and bargain hunter in her own right too!). But my mom has become the beneficiary (or victim, depending on your perspective) of my bargain hunting. I’ve even managed to force some choice items onto other family members too.

Anyway, I was reflecting on some of the best bargains I scored last year and I thought I’d share the love: scroll on below to check out some current steals that are just WAITING for someone to scoop them up! And honestly, I’d hurry bc these deals are so great that there IS a chance that they’re sold by the time you’re reading this!
