      Great guess! In fact if we had purchased the men’s jacket used we may have reached this amount. Our total was $49.57

      Great guess, but unfortunately we didn’t negotiate that good. Our total was $49.57. Thank you for playing!

      Clearly I need to learn from you and Jackie on how to get good deals when shopping! Our total was $49.57. Thank you for guessing!

    At this point the majority of the guesses are to low. I can see that I need to go shopping with a few of you to learn frugality from you, LOL. Hint, the men’s down jacket was brand new at the time of purchase.

    I loved this post! I’ve never left the country and I’m always so interested to hear how other countries operate. There are some good tips in here as well in case I ever do get to the leave the US. Hopefully, one day.

        I’ve always wanted to go to Ireland but ideally I’d like to go to practically all of them. Which may not happen but a girl can dream!

          Always good to dream. Ireland is on my list too. I never thought I’d have to opportunity to travel like this either so you never know!
