Cheapskate

Although I love to shop, I also love a good deal. I hate to pay full price for anything, and I love the thrill of finding a good coupon or sale. I frequent Ross, Marshalls and TJ Maxx for great deals on home decor, shoes and bags, and I never shop at Lane Bryant without a gift cheque - you can always find one!

I can already see that it will end up being an issue Kevin and I will have to work through. The biggest and most important item on Kevin's wishlist for the new place is a king-size bed. He is desperate for one. We both have pretty crummy queen-size beds now, so we really do need a new bed. The problem? We just can't agree on a price yet. I thought we might be able to get a better deal if we waited until Labor Day, but he's itching to get one in the next week or so. Any advice on purchasing a new mattress??

Here are some items that I LOVE but am too cheap to buy.
Sumatra bed, Pottery Barn $1,299; Gabby dress $128; Foil-texture cuff $272; Karen Millen Tote bag $312.
