Stingy Stitches - by HeatherL

My personal blacklist

October 4th 2007 01:04
It's been a quite week stingy wise however considering I've been nothing but positive in my blog I've decided to share with you my BLACK LIST OF DOOM. These are the stores and areas you should always avoid if you really want a bargain.

1: Newtown, yes its very coloufull and VIVA LA REVOLUTION but its also the most over rated strip of stores I've ever seen. Years ago this place used to be cheap and filled with many delightful discount vintage stores however a while ago store owners clued into the fact that Newtown is now cool. This means that they charge lets say FIFTY DOLLARS for a vest that you would normally find in the five dollar bargain bin at a Saint Vinnies.

Also when I did manage to find a boot sale I discovered when I arrived home that the boots were cheapt because they had no real lining thus covering my poor feet in angry red blisters.

2: Table Eight, these clothing chains are popping up everywhere and at first they appear like a stingy godsend. Business skirts and dresses for only eight dollars! tshirts for five! wow even when I was broke I could afford to shop here. Then I discovered the deep dark horrifying Table Eight secret.
The clothes fall apart after one shop.
One dress didnt even make it home! I opened the bag only to discover the cheap stitches had unravelled reducing my blue dress to a bag of holes.

3: Bondi Markets. Ok Bondi Markets has an excellent range of jewelery and clothing but its not exactly bargain paradise, I shop here when I really want something special not when I need a cheap blouse or some shoes.
