7 Ways You Know You're A Bargainer

You're the Shopping Queen, the Bargain Hunter, the Deal Stealer, etc. and there's a damn good reason why you earned your name!

1. You head to the sale section as soon as you enter the store

It's a habit. We kind of just brush past all of the pretty displays and new, nicely merchandized product. We don't care, because we know a few treasures are hiding in those messy, misplaced racks!

2. You tell everyone about your bargains (even if they don't ask)

It's a good conversation starter! Nine times out of ten I'll use this excuse to break the silence. Hear crickets while talking to an old friend? Flash them your foot and tell them how your new boots were only twenty dollars at T.J. Maxx!

3. All of your favorite sites are saved on your phone/laptop

Easy access makes online shopping quick and painless! (Well, painless at least. "Quick" and "bargaining" should never be together in the same sentence.)

4. You use all the discounts you can at checkout

You go to your favorite stores with coupons in hand, or to your favorite sites with a few discount codes to try. Or, you leave it up to Honey to do the latter, which is an app downloadable to Google Chrome which automatically plugs in previously used discount codes when at check out. Needless to say, it's a bargainer's best friend.

5. You have great brand knowledge

The good ones, the bad ones, and everything in between - you know them all: their quality, their history, their philosophy - but you especially know if you're getting a good deal on them (or not)!

6. Friends always want to know where you get your steals

It must be at least once a week that I get a text or DM from a friend or stranger asking something along the lines of, "How the heck did you manage to those jeans for twenty dollars, and where can I go to get some myself?" Oh girl, I gotchu.

7. You'd run a marathon three days in a row before buying something full price

Is there need to say more?

See you in the sale section!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
