After thrifting my brand new Skechers sneakers for a pittance I decided to hunt for another pair, as it's time to retire my old white sneakers. I also wanted a pair that were a bit more lightweight for my daily walking, and last month bid on and won these light blue New Balance sneakers, which were brand-new and still had the tags and store paper stuffing in them, so they had never been worn.
When they arrived I was really happy, as they are my size and also wide, and fit my duck feet as if made for them.
Later, while my guy and I were in the city, I checked out the exact same pair at a shoe outlet to see how much I saved by thrifting them. They were $134.99 retail, which really shocked me. People pay that much for sneakers now? Really?
I paid $9.99 for mine. Yep. Savings: $125.00
