@BunSnoop Definitely always pays to shop. I've found great deals sometimes at QVC, sometimes elsewhere.
When it comes to handbags, I've thought for years that the best part of QVC's offerings is that colors are often available that aren't available at a similar price at the same time I want/need to buy.
I'd rather have the color I really want instead of one I'm settling for to save money. If i can't afford what I really want, I settle for what's already in my closet. My thrift bags always seem to be filled with too many items I bought more because they were on sale than that they were exactly what I wanted.
The older I get the more selective I've become; I just know my current self well enough to realize less for me is really more.
