My husbands Prom (he's a teacher) is coming up next weekend. I ran out to get a dress today. I checked our consignment store and then went to Marshalls without luck. I found a nice dress at Leohmann's for $60. I put it on hold and went to try Nordstrom's Rack. After striking out there, I sat down to think.
I had a short black dress at home, but I didn't want to freeze at the dance. I paused and checked the weather for that night. The low was only 58F. I reentered Nordstroms and purchased a $10 wrap. So that was $50 saved by a moment of reflection, my smart phone, and my frugal skills

My girls needed black shrugs to go with spaghetti strapped dressed in Feb for the Father-Daughter Dance. I priced them at several places, the cheapest ones I could find were $25. I ended up hitting the clearance rack at an upscale store finding Christmas dresses that were deeply discounted - two piece sets that happened to have black velvet shrugs. My cost out-the-door: $29.50.
