Cheap buys

With a tanked economy, everything (and I mean everything) is on sale or reduced. If you're in the market for a house or car (and have a strong credit rating and down payment) you can find AMAZING deals on not only the cost of a home, but also the the interest rate on a loan.

But, the point of this post isn't to talk about housing. It's to emphasize that you can find deals on everything! Including bridesmaids dresses (you know wedding talk was coming). Yesterday, I ordered a dress for each of my attendants for $28.00 from Ann Taylor. Yes, you read that correctly - $28.00. The total for seven dresses was $212.00 (that included tax and shipping and handling). We're talking about dresses that originally sold for $198.00. Basically, I saved my bridesmaids over 85% on their dresses.

Not only is the dress re-wearable and pretty, it's so low cost, I could easily give the dresses to my girls as a gift! I haven't been in any free weddings - ever. So, I could be the one bride who bought her attendants their dresses....

Anyways... here's a pic of the dress:




I LOVE IT!!!! What do you think?
