Welcome!

What was your biggest accomplishment in saving money on a luxury item? Did you score 75% off at Banana Republic? Find a lovely hand mirror for almost nothing in an antique shop? Notice a sale at Future Shop and pounce on that portable USB 8.0GB drive... for $10? Time to share!

Bonus points if you have photos, of course.

Where'd you all

I just posted about my most recent find this weekend!
I got a 1.5 quart Calphalon sauce pan at TJ Max/HomeGoods for $29.99
As soon as I got home I looked up the retail price on Calphalon's site - $82.00!
This pot is literally only used to melt butter when I make popcorn. :)

Thanks to a gift-card-with-previous-purchase and my awesome Google skills, I scored a $50 fleece-lined sweatshirt from L.L. Bean for $20 plus got free shipping!

And finally, we sent photo holiday cards this year. Really pretty ones. Again thanks to being on their email list, plus awesome Googling skills, I scored 10 of them for free, 30% off the rest of my order, plus free shipping!

Just wanted to say hi and thanks for making this community! I like poor_skills but I have definitely not posted stuff before for fear of sounding too... well off? I don't know. I'm not dirt poor but I like saving money (grad school = expensive!) Poor_skills also helped me learn things just about living on my own for the first time as a 23 year old in a new state! I'm sure I will learn lots from the community, too.

As for any finds... nothing huge yet, but I did get a buy one get one free of my favorite mascara at Rite Aid last week! Pretty stoked on that.
