50 Cent

NO, no, not that guy.  The price I paid for these awesome mustard cropped pants!

Yes, this girl scored those pants for $.50.

I'm not saying I'll never shop retail again but I'm feeling some kinda way about paying sale price when I can pay resale price.  

I bought a similar pair (see the pink pants) when the Talbots outlet store in my area was going out of business.  (It was a bitter sweet day).  

For comparison sake, the pink pair retailed for $129.00.  They were ultimately marked down to $69.99, but, I paid about 10 bucks for 'em.  Hold on...let me do the math...now I'm no mathematician but I paid about 2000% less for the mustard pair than I did for the pink. 

I picked up 17 other items on this thrift run for a total of $9.54.  Less than I paid for the pink pants. *shakes head in disbelief*.
