Party Supplies for the Super Budget Shopper, Part II
- Posted on July 5, 2009
In the last post I talked about my reputation among those who know me – and even those who don’t – for being a bit on the “cheap” side. I am money conscious to be sure. As a stay at home mom who works part time I am constantly mindful of cost and I work long and hard to make sure that I am doing all that I can to save us as much money as possible. I always hold to my personal philosophy of spending money on things that are worth the extra expense and avoiding the extraneous costs for everyday items for which people have become accustomed to over paying.
Party supplies were always a thorn in my side because as much as I needed them (you need plates and utensils to serve food after all) and wanted them (what good is a luau without luau party supplies?) I could not bring myself to pay the ridiculous costs that so many party supply stores charged. What was there left to do? I could go to the deep discount stores and take my chances on low quality or mismatched items or I had to find another way. And I did – online!
Through online shopping I was able to find amazing selections of party supplies that were great looking, were within the themes that I wanted, and were still affordable. I knew that shopping online was an option and had been doing it for some time to save money on a variety of items but for some reason I had failed to make the connection between shopping online and saving money on party supplies. But no longer; now I shop online for bulk, discount party supplies that allow me to save money without sacrificing anything I need or want. You can call me cheap all you want but I know how to save money – even on party supplies!
