Silver hanging spike bra:  $2.50 @ Sirens (RSP:  $18)

Had a full day today!  A free lunch and a free fitness seminar at a mall.

The bra was the only one there!  The last time I went it was $10, and they had a lot left.  It was on the $5 rack but wasn't marked down, so I decided to ask anyway.

She said $5 since that was the rack I found it on, but since there were two rows of spikes missing, I decided to see if I could get a discount.

I was expecting 10% off like last time, I was so happy when she gave it to me for half price!

Of course, I only bought it because it still looks good.  If it was really noticeable I wouldn't have wanted it even at that price!


Only one left, my size, and that cheap...I took it as a sign.

I also got this reusable bag from Kin's farm market, which was practically free...if you don't include the $.25 I paid for an orange:


I have a ton of reusable bags, but this one ranks up there!  I really love the colours, it's so bright and fun.  Plus, the design is pretty nice.

Marilyn Monroe intimates - White push up bra:  $3 (RSP:  $9.99 - $36)
Warners - Full coverage shaping bra:  $2 (RSP:  $12.99 - $39)
XOXO - Black sequin bra:  $3 (RSP:  $9.99 - $20)
Nine West - Glamorama - Calf hair tiger print gold frame clutch:  $26 (RSP:  $49.99 - $125)

All @ Winners.

I don't know if I'll keep any of these bras yet, since I haven't tried them on.  I wear so many  layers when I go out, it's such a hassle to try anything on!

The sequin bra is the same one I bought in this post.  I think this one will actually fit me the way I am now though.

They had a ton of $2 and $3 bras here too, but a lot of them are cheap and tacky looking.  I have enough of those!  Now I need bras that aren't super padded and actually support me.  I hope some of these fit the bill.

The clutch was an impulse buy.  It's way more than I wanted to pay..in fact, that's the most I've ever paid for a bag so far!

But it was made from real calf hair and I just liked everything about it.

Then when I got home, I saw that it was actually $1 cheaper on their website!  Argh.  Maybe I should return it and see if it goes any cheaper.

Liv - Making Waves Katie doll:  $3 (RSP:  $9.99 - $18)
Renee Rafe - Black silver foil dotted push up bra:  $2 (RSP:  $9.99 - $20)
XOXO - Black sequin band bra:  $2 (RSP:  $9.99 - $24.99)

All @ Winners.

I almost didn't know what to do with myself today!  I went to the bra section, and almost EVERY bra was $3...it was so hard to decide!

A bunch were $2 as well, but most weren't my size.  I really wish I didn't buy all of those $3 bras in the past, now there are a bunch of better $3 ones!  Now I want to see what the other stores have.

The Liv doll was an impulse buy.  I buy up any $2 ones I find used, so I reasoned that I had to buy this $3 one new! 

Too bad she doesn't have much of an outfit, but I do like her hair and sunglasses.

Gold spike bra:  $8.82 $2.82 (Highest:  $26)
White leopard collar necklace:  $2.26 (Highest:  $9.50)
Champagne crystal necklace:  $2.25 (Highest:  $7.55)
Black rosette padded corset:  $8.50 (Highest:  $20.76)

All off eBay.

I was really excited about that bra, but stupidly, it's too small for me.  I was actually worried about it being too big!  I even sized up just in case!

They had a chart and I followed it, so I don't see why the bra doesn't fit...unless they sent me the wrong one, or the chart was off.  I mean, come on!  Just look at how it compares to bras that actually fit me:


I'm pretty unhappy about it.  There's no way it's the size that's listed!  Does that look like a 38C to you?  I really hope they'll give me a full refund, there's no way to make it work.  

The corset on the other hand, is gorgeous!  That was worth the eight bucks, unlike the bra.

The bra was a BIN...I really wanted it so I decided to buy it once it went on sale.  I'm still looking for some that fit me, I guess I better stick to looking locally!

*edit*

The seller gave me $6 back...well, that's better than nothing.

Silicone bra:  $2.45 (Highest:  $7)
Gold owl cuff:  $2.08 (BIN:  $4.99)
Rabbit fur scarf:  $5.60 (BIN:  $9.99)

All off eBay.

I've really been laying off of eBay lately!  The cuff I accidentally bought a double of, but I'm pretty happy with the bra.

It was a buy it now, I couldn't believe it!  I was about to buy the same thing for twice the price, so I'm happy I tried some other search terms first.

It's supposed to be a C, but it seems kind of small.  I'm waiting for a D in leopard just to see how it compares...that one was more expensive, but the two together equal the price I was going to pay for the first one!

I was really excited about the scarf, but it's pretty thin in person.  No wonder the BIN was so cheap.  It was probably worth what I paid...I probably wouldn't have bought it if I saw it in person.

It does look nice, but since there are so many holes, it isn't warm at all!  I have another one in brown coming in the mail.

The best part was, it only took 8 days to arrive!  That's never happened before.

Anyway, the seller has some scarfs without holes in them, I'm trying to win one of those next.

Rene Rafe - Red w/black lace super push up bra:  $3 (RSP:  $9.99 - $20)
Marilyn Monroe intimates - Lilac super push up bra:  $3 (RSP:  $9.99 - $36)

Both @ Winners.

This location had cheap bras the last time I went, so I was hoping they would this time too.  I wasn't disappointed!

They had a ton of new ones that I don't remember seeing before, so it looks like the low prices weren't a fluke.  I've looked at two other locations, and those ones were only $5 at their lowest!

I didn't try them on, but luckily both of them fit great.  Hooray!  I hope they have more next time.

Sophie.b - pink bra w/black lace accents:  $3 (RSP:  $9.99 - $20)
Rene Rafe - pink zebra print bra:  $3 (RSP:  $7.99 - $16)

Both @ Winners.

Plus perfume samples and a copy of H&M magazine - finally!  I've figured out their distribution schedule.  I'll never miss an issue again...whereas before, I've only gotten one a year for the past few years!

I was really surprised to see such cheap bras at Winners today.  I even found a $2 one!  I tried on 5 but only walked away with these two...the zebra one was an afterthought. 

I thought there'd be no way it would fit, but surprisingly, it fits better than the other one.

I looked at another Winners and it wasn't as good...I saw the same bras for $5!  I'm really happy I saw the ones above.

Tramp - Turquoise green shirt w/slit sleeves:  $.70 (RSP:  $19.99-$40)
Mine - Plaid shirt w/cut out shoulders:  $3 (RSP:  $19.99-$40)
Freedom USA - Tattoo print shirt:  $2 (RSP:  $19.99+)


Sharagano - Brown skirt pants:  $2 (RSP:  $24.99-$48+)
D'annah - White ruched tank top:  $2 (RSP:  $16-$28)
Blush - Olive green bra w/cameo:  $1 (RSP:  $12.99-$28)

All @ Winners.

This was a great haul!  I absolutely love the first two tops in the first picture, they're so fashion forward!  I don't have anything like them.  I wore the plaid shirt the first day I got it.

The pants are crazy too...they're those really wide pants that look like skirts.  The one I have is plus size, so it goes up pretty high too - this one could double as a pantsuit!

I normally find those hideous, but with a neutral colour like this, I think it could work.  I don't have anything like this in my closet, so I was glad to find it.

The bra is gorgeous!  It has a tiny little cameo in the middle.  It's so up my alley.

XOXO - Wide yellow/black belt:  $.70 (RSP:  $9.99-$20)

All @ Winners.

I was so surprised this location had anything left!  I remember the last time I came here on a sale day, I could count the number of items left on one hand!  I left empty handed that time so I'm glad it wasn't a repeat this time around.

The halter top is surprisingly flattering on.  I'm glad I gave it a chance.  I was initially going to leave it behind.

I also left behind a lot of $3 sandals that looked great, but were hard to walk in.  Why can't I have better feet?

Michael Kors - Black leather high heel sandals:  $3 (RSP:  $79.99-$145)
Blue leopard print bra:  $2 (RSP:  $12.99-$25)

Both @ Winners.

I came back here for a specific bra, but sadly, it was already gone.  This location barely had anything left so I was surprised I walked away with anything at all.

The shoes are gorgeous, but they make my legs kind of tired.  Also, they're half a size too big...but they seemed to look alright on. 

The bra is nice, but I notice at home that the price was for a two pack...I might return it if the fit isn't that great.  There are no tags to indicate who the maker is.

International Intimates - 2 pack pink lace thongs:  $1 (RSP:  $4.99-$10)

All @ Winners.

Well, this location was almost a bust.  Everything was still pricey, thank goodness I stumbled upon this section!  It wasn't even properly placed in the final clearance area, which is probably why I lucked out.

I would have left the black panties behind if it wasn't for their original price!  They seemed pretty basic, the quality and design didn't seem to warrant the price.

Turns out the company has been in business for 125 years....impressive.

They're made out of 100% cotton, but it's so smooth it doesn't feel like it!  Definitely a great find.  It goes for $36 new!

Funnily enough, just about all of the Winners tags show a much lower "compared to" price.  The blush panties were $18 off the mark!

Sisi intimate - Green rosette detail bra:  $2 (RSP:  $12.99-$24)
Ellen Tracy - Leopard print bra:  $3 (RSP:  $12.99-$32)
Knit tights:  $2 (RSP:  $7.99+)
Sheer tights:  $2 (RSP:  $7.99-$12)

I haven't actually tried any of these on, so I might end up returning them. The first bra is really nice quality and I love the rosette detailing.

As for the second one..I'm just a sucker for leopard print.

The sheer tights resemble pantyhose but are a lot sturdier.  Neither of the tights are that great price-wise, but it's a price I'm willing to pay, plus they're both pretty practical.

Hoping to hit up more Winners tomorrow!
