I Use To...

                                                          Hello, My Cheap Cheetah Family

Happy July. So, are we saving money this month? I'll be honest, I'm trying, but the stores won't let me save. I went to my favorite store for discounts, J.C. Penney. They had tons of clothing on their clearance rack. They even had the nerve to say all pink tickets are $3.  I am talking at least 8-10 full racks of clothes from plus size women down to the tiny sizes for women, like size 0. Anyway, I went through the racks thinking of the summer stuff. I could get it cheap because I'm going on vacation soon. You know I didn't find one pink ticket for a $3 piece of clothing, right?  I search through a bunch of discounted clothing racks, which also shows me that whoever's buying for J.C. Penny is buying too much stuff that people don't want. did I forget to mention they also had walls full of dresses and sweaters, and stuff? Anyway, I went through the clothes and the prices, no lie, for the cheapest items were $9.99 and up to $35.oo Is it me, that's not what I considered a clearance.  For me, clearance is price points like $5.99-$20, and the higher price is for the really good stuff. 

Needless to say, I was disappointed in the prices. I walked over to the regular price section of clothing. They had the nerve to charge 35-60 for a pair of pants or a coordinating set. J.C. Penny is losing its mind thinking it's Macy's. Guess a cheap cheetah like me will head to Walmart, which is cheaper, and mix and match what I have in my closet for my upcoming vacation. Between food prices, clothing, repairs, and basic bills, a cheapskate can't get a break. My suggestion is thrift stores or Walmart for cheaper clothing, but be warned, the thrift stores in my area have increased their prices on just about everything.

                             Have a Great Cheap Cheetah Day & Save that Money!
