And now back to The Price is Right!

Congratulations to my sister, whom I've never met. She nailed the contest on both counts. And I love it that she made a trip to TJs to see the divine bag in person.

Of course I didn't buy it. But I did go up and ask the sales clerk if she was sure there wasn't some mistake. After all, it was TJ Maxx. I also put it on hold for all of one hour so I could somehow almost possess it...even for a short time.

And I'll always have pictures.

i don't know if i could spend so much money on one item, let alone an accessory. I'm also more of a shoe girl instead of a purse girl.

Isn't that interesting Becky? I was just thinking how I couldn't be less interested in shoes, but I am way swayed--but not that swayed--by the siren song of a great bag.

Not to mention that half the thrill of a good purchase is the idea that it's a steal. Now if I could've bought a $275 bag for $39.95 I would've been all over it.

I might have even bought two! (You know, one for my 72-hour-emergency preparedness kit.)

Thank you (bow), thank you (bow), thank you very much.

I love TJMaxx. I bought my little girl (almost 3) 3 cutie-patutie dresses there the other day. One Tommy Hilfiger (the fabric feels divine) sundress for $14.99 instead of $49.99. Steal.

If I were rich, I would buy you the bag. Alas, I am not rich.

One time I was camping with my brother and we stopped at a store in Jackson Hole. We were checking out the price tags....wooowoo, cha-ching! I could not believe the price tags. The cheapest thing in the store was like $50.00...average price tag...$250.00. We left empty handed.

Next time I go to Mexico I will pick one up for you. $20 for three--all genuine. I will also grab you a RoLLLex. Also genuine.

That bag is snazzy!

Oh yes, please do. RoLLLexes are my favorite. Especially the genuine ones.

Hit Kohl's in AF. The clearance red tags (which are actually a glowy orange) are 75% off making the items 90% off or MORE and 50% off lowest price on the yellow tags. I bought my hubby some $120 cashmere sweaters today for $7.50 and $54 shirts for $2.50.

I'd like to bear my testimony of the truthfulness of Kohl's sales.

Oh, and I got purses for less than 2 bucks. Alas, there were no Italian imported leather but less than 2 bucks.
