Bagging a Bargain (without a bag)


Hunting for the elusive bargain is more a process of determination, of seeing the same clothes, the same prints that look more like Jackson Pollock than Prada.

Persistence is the driving force that puts me in the front seat, hoping and searching for that ever desired piece.

There is also the hope that the tagged price might even be lower; somehow there is an inherent part of the woman’s materialistic make up in the 21st century, which is to gather, and to do so with as much moolah still in your wallet as possible.

Today though the bargain hunting process is also made a little harder when considering the environmental conscience (and positive publicity making) of stores charging for the use of biodegradable bags.

How are we now meant to shop up a storm to rival that in the Clooney film The Perfect Storm?

Nevertheless, this might take some persistence too, that and some packing skills.
