So this one time, I went to TJ Maxx, and saw a pair of beautiful dark brown, stilleto, pointy toe, super soft leather Charles David boots. I looked online, and they retail maybe around $400 http://www.charlesdavid.com/?pageid=pro ... ageIndex=# At TJ's, they were marked down to about $150 or so, then marked down again to $70!!
I thought, ok, I'm not necessarily a label ho, so it was end of season and I thought, well, I don't really need boots.
I went back 2 weeks later, they were still there. This time, marked down to $40. I thought, ok, forty buckos. Can't go wrong. But as a broke college kid, it was $40 I could've spent on ramen noodles. So because there were so many clearance stickers on the bottom (looked like 20 piled on), I went to the front desk to see if these gorgeous boots were truly $40 bucks!
This lady is calling the manager, she went to the back to look at other boots, she's looking at the tags.
I panicked, why didn't I keep my mouth shut! What if they were really $70, and not $40. I was mad at myself.
She's on the phone with the store manager, "uh huh, yeah, hm? ok." She hangs up the phone. My heart is beating.
"They're twelve dollars."
I grabbed those boots like they were my unborn children. I thought I was going to get mugged in the parking lot, so many ladies were giving me the eye and commenting on my $12 steal.
That is by far my greatest retail purchase.
