Holiday shopping definitely takes a toll on your wallet…especially when you’re a student.

For my sanity, I adopted a one for them, one for me gift-purchasing philosophy. It’s even more stressful on my wallet– but hey, you can’t put a price on your sanity.

This season I set out to find the sweetest deals and boy did I hit the jackpot!
“A Recessionista is one who, despite an economic downturn, evokes the creative power and continues to look like a million bucks while only spending a few.”

Not only does Recessionista have incredible accessories and shoes at parties in Utah and Idaho, but now you can purchase earrings, hats, scarves and more on the Recessionista Blog using paypal.

Visit the blog regularly and you’ll find incredibly giveaways like this coach handbag!

My other sweet deal secret is Jojolie– an auction site where you can bid on designer bags for just a few dollars! Purchase “bids” in bulk for around 75 cents and then formulate a strategy on how you’re going to win. I still haven’t formulated my strategy, but I’ll let you know when I do.

Happy Shopping!
