These two pictures are just funny shots of me and my sister pretending to be millionaires. I think we pulled it off pretty well.
Okay, I know you're going to see the title and think I'm crazy... But seriously, you CAN SPLURGE even on a budget.
Do you ever wonder how I am able to "Haul" so much? Because I am smart on how and where I spend my money.
Who? What? When? Where? How? I'll tell you!
These are some of my favorite ways to get what I want and not break the bank.

3- Ebay
Ebay? YES!!! Ebay is one of my most shopped from sites.
I browse Ebay daily, because it is constantly changing.
BUY VINTAGE? Look on Ebay for great deals on vintage and pre-owned clothes and shoes.
***SUPER SAVER TIP*** I buy mostly from wholesale and "free shipping" companies located in Asia. I get things for pennies on the dollar. Of course this will not work if you are one of those people who only buy products produced in America.
But I don't want to deal with all that bidding!!!
Okay, then don't! When you search something, click "Buy it Now" and from "Lowest to Highest"
Be sure to check out my Ebay account where I will randomly sell things from time to time. CLICK HERE
