This past weekend I went with a friend to the Red White & Blue Thrift on E. Ohio Blvd and I scored a major, MAJOR deal. This Jcrew blazer: As you can see the original tags are still attached and the original price for this blazer was $278!!! Red, White, & Blue priced it at $74.95, which is a very deep discount. But wait... the green tagged items were an additional 50% off that day!!!! So I paid, $37. 48 saving $240.52 from the original price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know I said I was going on a shopping fast here . But this was not a retail or online situation, so I felt that it was not in violation of my previous edict.
