She finds the best deals on designer clothing every time

Georgia doesn’t know I’m writing this but I just had to do it.

You see, the people who read my own Jim’s Jems newsletter would not relate to this story but I know you will.

I tell people my wife is a shopper with a capital “S” and sometimes they think I’m exaggerating. You telll me if I am.

We were in the mall a couple of weeks ago and Georgia saw a pair of very cool boots. These were not your ordinary boots. They were DKNY furry winter boots, as seen in Vogue Magazine, and carried a hefty price tag of $600 (US).

Georgia said they were nice but she did not love them enough to pay the price. Neiman Marcus sold them out in a heartbeat. Her not buying them did not hurt the economy.

About a week later, she came walking in the house with the boots. She bought them at Marshall’s for $147! That’s about 75% off the initial price.

Now, I know, a lot of people do this in stores like Marshalls, but Georgia does it EVERYWHERE.

Last weekend we were in the Short HIlls, NJ mall.

We like it there. There’s an Apple store and some other places to distract me:-) and a Legal Seafood restaurant. My deal is we eat after she shops:-)

I met up with Georgia near the restaurant and she was all excited. I said, “OK, what did you buy?”

She proceeded to show me four tops. No, not the singing group.

She had two Donna Karen, a Dana Buchman and a Christopher, totaling $800.

I inquired as to what she paid. “I got all this for only $239 she beamed AND I had a $100 credit so I only spent $139.

I realize this is not something I’m wired to understand. To me, she spent $139. But thought you might enjoy the story.
