Let me introduce myself

Hello, there...

For years now I have been the person people come to when they need to buy something, and they want it as cheaply as possible. You see, I shop. A lot. I know when the local drugstore is offering a $10 gas coupon for spending a minimum of $50, or the day that Old Navy does all their markdowns for their big seasonal sale. My favourite part of vacations (OK, second favourite - soaking up the sun on the beach is still tops!) is checking out the local retail offerings. I have driven a poor Mexican man to tears bartering for some cute hand-painted birds, and I know which souk to go to in Doha to get the 'best price' on knock-off handbags or skateboard tees. Nothing compares to scoring a Coach purse at Marshalls (on clearance!) or grabbing the latest Joe fashion as it hits the rack (and on a bonus 25% off weekend to boot!)

By now you must be thinking 'this woman must have a crapload of junk in her house,' but the truth is that I am picky about what I buy. I love the thrill of the hunt for something I really want at an incredible price. And that's what this blog is about. I'll let you know about the great deals I see throughout the Halifax Regional Municipality (that's in Nova Scotia, Canada, for those who stumble in here) as well as any internet specials that come my way. I'll also let you know about my shopping exploits as I travel for work and play. My goal is not to brag about the gems I find, but rather to inspire you to dig a little deeper (Guy's Frenchies, anyone?) and come up with your own treasures that make you feel amazing every time you look at them.

Happy Shopping, everyone!
