Frugal In America
Back in 1996, I was fresh off the boat, after a few weeks and getting my first paycheck, I went to a sports shop called "Just For Feet". I looked around to see what they had. I saw some customers picking up some items and I kind of like, I want them too. So, to cut the story short, I picked a shirt and a pair of shoes. I paid $20 for the shirt and $88 for the Adidas shoes.
At that time I really don't have any idea of what and where to shop. I told myself... If the prices of all the clothes here are all like this, I won't be shopping for a while. Yes, those for me are very expensive!
As I got accumulated into my surroundings, I found out that it was just a matter of knowing where to shop. Later on, I found some really good shops where you can buy clothes at a bargain price. There are places that I go to like, Ross, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, etc. It's just very important to look for the obvious imperfections or damages. Products in these retail shops are mostly factory rejects because of minor mistakes. I am not picky so, minor issues are fine with me.
And yes, I'm half Ilocano!
