I no longer buy Nine West Shoes, Parade of Shoes works just fine and I can get the cutest boots for $25, not $120 at Nine West

I no longer pay full price for those expensive name brand detergents and cleaning products at the store - the dollar store cleansers work just fine for me and I can save almost $25-30 sometimes

I no longer pay full price for designer purses... I'm not giving Ms. Gucci, Louis, Mr. Coach, Mr. Fendi or anyone else the full price for what I *know* is like a 500% markup on what it costed to make it. I don't know them like that and I'm tired of making them rich with all of my money

I no longer take my clothes to the dry cleaners (when possible). I have gotten real chummy with Dryel and Woolite. LOL

I no longer buy name brand canned veggies - generic brands work just fine for me. It really all tastes the same to me.

I no longer pay $16 for a small, round Mac eyeshadow. I use what I have at this point and when that runs out, I'll find a drugstore brand

I still pay full-price for my beloved perfumes however. Can anyone help me out on a nice inexpensive substitute for Donna Karan Cashmere Mist?? LOL
