VICTORY!

I recently fell in love with this . . .





but not the price and since we are in a recession, I just couldn't justify the purchase. However, I couldn't get the fresh, fruity, floral aroma out of my head I had to find a way to get it. So I thought how can I be frugal about this?

eBay was my answer. Fortunately, I found it on eBay. Unfortunately, I did not find if for the cost-effective, recession-proof price I was hoping for. So I found this . . .


And yes, the price was just right. I quickly bid on the item as the auction was soon coming to an end. Disclaimer, I don't shop eBay very much and don't have the best track record, so I was a little nervous. This beautiful bottle of smooth body butter could fall into the wrong persons hands. Brooks and I were out so I had to call Bryan to see if, hope that, maybe I won the auction.

Well the magic words were heard, "you got it, you won! You bid on . . . (wait for it) body lotion?"

Yes I did and I couldn't be happier. I looked for a bargain and I found one. Besides I am sure to smell delish. I am proud to say that I saved the family money one health and beauty product at a time. Not to mention the incredible feeling and validation I got from winning this bid.

Yes, I am a WINNER! And it only cost me the small price of $8.99 plus shipping and handling.

I enjoy a little ebay myself from time to time...I also love anything "fresh" but haven't smelled that scent. I will be sure to check it out next time I am where "fresh" products are sold! Way to save the family money. Come up here on Tuesday and we can head down to Woodburn to the grand opening of the JCrew outlet, where we would be sure to save the family even more money and probably even pay for your flight with our savings.....something to think about!
