[9dstpm]

I'm 9dstpm and I too am a Lowered Expectations Shopper. This is due to my single paycheck status. I have Store Snob tendencies. If I had the cash, you will find me at Marshall Fields, Macy's, Coach, etc. I'll gladly shop at Payless for my shoes but I CANNOT shop at Value City, Rainbow, TJ Maxx, AJ Wright, ANY store that looks like a garage sale. I cannot shop in disarray. I must feel peace and harmony when I shop.

I will shop at Wal-Mart for everything else but I hate their clothes for plus size women. They are so dowdy and old. I may have some curves and such but I wanna look stylish too. That's why I shop at Avenue. Lane Bryant is a little too bo-ho for my taste, but their underwear and lingerie is really nice.

I'm starting to like Tarjay (Target) for clothes and accessories but I LOOOOVE their sheets and comforters. I heart this purple sheet set/comforter/duvet cover and I MUST have it!!

I agree with Nupe4Life about not wearing cologne/perfume from discount stores. No way. I used to work at Wally World and my sister used to work to K-Mart and we know that when those scents hit the stores, they are watered down by the companies so that they can sell more of them at a cheaper price. I will buy my good perfumes from Marshall Fields or Vickie's Secret (Happy, Happy Heart, and Dream Angels Heavenly).
