    Default Some of my brags!

    I have a wedding shower to go to next Saturday and I did not have dress shoes to wear so I went to famous footwear and found a clearance pair for $7!!!

    Also I was really in need of work sneakers, found those for $20 at famous footwear to, normally $70!!!

    I was very proud of myself!!

    I just signed up at free cycle so hopefully I can get some free things for my apartment as well

    I am so impressed by the people on here who pick up such good deals! Great job on the trainers, too. I got a pair for £16 that had a RRP of £65. I definitely think good quality trainers are worth it for your feet, especially if you wear them a lot in work - doesn't mean you have to pay full price though, eh?
