Becoming Bargains

Hello fellow thrifters, bargain shoppers, and all others who love a good deal! My name is Emily and I am a dog loving, chocolate craving, accessory wearing 25-year-old college student that loves a good bargain whether it is clothing, furniture, or home goods! I attend college in central Pennsylvania and am dual majoring in American Sign Language and Communication Studies. As a full time college student, funds can become quite sparse at times. With that being said, I am a 25-year-old woman who loves to keep up with the latest trends or create new ones and find a diamond in the ruff. So to ‘feed’ that addiction, I bargain shop! Revamping your closet or finding that perfect platter for a do-it-yourself and/or Pinterest project is possible with some creativity and time! Take my word for it!

 

Some of you may be asking yourselves, "Wait, she’s 25 and still attending college?" Yes, I took a four year break in between my freshman and sophomore year of college. It took some time to figure out what I wanted to do with this life of mine. What was a simple decision for me? Bargain shopping! I am saving money, I am revamping my closet, and I am able to complete that latest project I pinned last week! Score! My wallet is fuller, my closet is growing at an eighth of the price, and my house is looking quite homey.

 

When people complimented me on a $7.00 outfit and the project that I completed for under $30.00, I knew I had to share my tips and tricks with you! Saving money is necessary in today’s economy so let’s look great and DIY-away for a fraction of the cost! You could even sell those projects and earn a profit! Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

 

I love sharing this passion of mine and hope you read on to discover how an outfit and a project can come together that is not only inexpensive, but stylish and CENTsational too (see what I did there?).
