Ah, you say—you already know how to shop Target. In fact, you’ve spent so much time there that you should be eligible for some kind of lifetime achievement award. Okay, we’ll give you that—but are you shopping it in the smartest way possible? Perhaps not. And to show that Kathryn will not be sharing a classic six condo in hell with Sam Walton, here’s our tips for maximizing your Tar-jay experience:
A few months ago, we received a comment from a faithful TBF reader who said, and I quote, “I’m too busy to budget shop”. While our first reaction was, “who doesn’t have time to bargain shop?”, the more we thought about it, the more we understood where the reader was coming from.
Budget shopping can be time consuming and, as anyone who has ever been to a weekend sale at Macy’s can attest, a bit daunting. It takes time to scour through racks and racks of merchandise. However, in order to maintain our budgets, many of us need to stick to our frugal shopping guns.
So we came up with a list of five quick, shopping tips that save you both money and time. You do not have to spend hours shopping each week to find great deals on designer fashion. Check out our quick (and simple) tips after the jump.
Congratulations! You’ve found that perfect somebody who’ll nurse you back to Soberville when you’ve had one too many Midori sours at the bar, and who’ll love you despite your poor music choices in the car. (Admit it! You’ve been bopping your head to the Biebs’ new song on repeat.) You’re that cloyingly sweet, so-in-love couple that you used to hate when you were single, and now that you’re getting hitched, you’ve recruited your herd of besties as your bridesmaids.
Assuming you’re not having a theme wedding where requisite attire mandates the bridal party’s wardrobe take a cue from Marilyn Manson, we’ve got twenty-seven bridesmaid dress suggestions for you that a) won’t have your bridesmaids screaming “the horror, the horror ,” and b) won’t have them filing for bankruptcy. (Waiting for the bachelorette party and the colorful “performers” for that one…kidding!)
