    Default Authentic Dooney and Bourke purse $5

    Ran into Salvation Army in search of jeans today- found a pair I likes ok for $2.50, but my big find was a real D+B 'charm' purse for $5! In almost perfect condition.....this is VERY cheap even for there, I am thinking whoever was pricing that day did not realize the retail value of it. Happy dance!

    welcome to my world. friday i found a pair of bruno magli shoes for 300. they were worn maybe once.
    11% gross to retirement
    10% takehome to tithe and offerings
    emergency fund maintained at 3000(works for me)
    credit card debt 7500
    mortgage free
    freedom accounts/sinking funds that ebb and flow
    then live on the rest!

    i am trying something new. LDS church advises savings or debt repayment should be the same as the tithe. 10% each.

    Good find. I found a D&B purse at a thrift store a few years ago for under 5 bucks. I loved that purse.

    Never heard of that name, but then again I've never been a purse person. If I could I'd never use one.
    I'd like to think though if I was the price person for the day I'd recognize quality, lol. Glad you got a great deal.

    Good deal. I ran up on one for $10.00 at a thrift store and sold it on Ebay...cha ching. Sold it for $65.00. It wasn't my style of purse.
