And do you have a favorite site to buy from?
I enjoy shopping for craft supplies the most. I usually go to Micheals. As for favorite site to shop at it would be chapters.indigo.ca . I don't shop at lot on line mostly in retail stores, if I shop at all.
What about you?

PS., Amazon is where I go to most
not for the shoes, more for the books.
I find them very reasonable.

I have to go to a specialist shoe maker
for my feet are disfigured due to surgery what went wrong.
They have a template of my feet and make my shoes
accordingly.
I would love to be able to pick a pair of the shelf
for one thing it would work out cheaper but alas I can't.

And of course under pants for I don't feel up to wearing what someone else has covered their personal bits with. lol |

PS., At the end of the day the charity wins and so does the buyer
for the cost of same is usually greatly reduced and like you I am up for that,
(for again), like you I live on tight budget.
I do on occasion buy from the high street and eBay
if what I want is in a sale at a bargain price.

Hi David, yes I make it a game, but I picked up an Italian leather jacket a Giovanni for $10 it would be over $1000 and I love it because I could never afford such a beautiful item and yes I donate back to the Animal welfare shop as I don't like to hoard...I go to the facory outlet shops for my shoes as I have difficult feet like you and I need the comfort otherwise it throws out my knees and hips, its not a bargain if you are in pain and like you i refuse to buy underwear...draw the line there but heck you find what suits you for the best price...and I refuse to wear granny bloomers...sorry tmi  |

I like browsing for books at the Salvation Army store. I got the Shack, for one dollar such a steal compared to a new book's price.
