Now, I have my good points. Among these is my ability to shop. I’m not just a tireless shopper; I’m not just a savvy shopper; I think it fair to say that I am, in fact and in actuality, an expert shopper. If I can’t get it for you at 50% off or in exchange for something you have lying around the garage, it does not exist.
So, it is a fact universally acknowledged that a savvy shopper at the subsistence level of poverty in possession (however temporary) of a hundred bucks and change, must be in search of some highly practical purchases.
at Winners:
- pink lace bra from France $19 marked down from $100
- blue lace over green satin bra from France $19 marked down from$95
- banal beige utility bra to partially justify purchase of the above $9 marked down from who gives a rat’s ass?
- “Olive or Twist,” a book of cocktail cartoons from the New Yorker $5.99 marked down from $39
- large wooden sign reading “IMAGINE” $14 marked down from who cares? I had to have it.
additionally:
- 1 bottle Jack Daniels for medicinal purposes $28, full price
- 1 small bottle Martini & Rossi Italian vermouth for flavouring purposes $7, full price
- 1 bottle bitters $9
Yep, nobody can say I’m not a practical shopper! And tomorrow, if there’s any left, I’ll get groceries!

Next time I need lingerie I am shopping with you.
Place an order: with the shipping, it will probably pay for itself.
Hopefully I will have a practical use for the frivolous bras soon. Sigh.
See, I keep buying things on offer, marked down etc just to realise I don’t have much time/use for them.
The ‘medicinal purposes’ is that your way of justifying the full price purchase to yourself or others?
I’m sick. Whiskey stops the cough. Whether or not that’s good for me is my doctor’s business!
ditch the beige bra
Only for T-shirt emergencies, I assure you.
I was just thinking late last night that I needed more pink lace bras….
Ooooh, I’m not too sure that’s a side of you I want to hear about!! ;)
Dr Mike, I’m taking orders. What size?
