I just scored a $900 Burberry purse at Costco for the grand total of
$200! Yup. You heard right. It was at Costco for $499 and I had my rebate coupon from last year.

Oh, and sniffa. Yes, I DO know how many homeless people that could feed. :eyes:

And, I didn't donate it to Lee Mercer because I already donated the maximum in non tax deductible dollars.


:woohoo:

3. Dude, I'm a total bag you know what.
It's the only thing I buy. I don't buy a ton of clothes, shoes, other things like that. I buy purses. Oh, and candles. Yup. That's me.

6. My purse collection includes 4 D&B wristlets (I love the wristlets) and a Dior Wristlet
When I go out socially I don't like alot of extra purse with me. I also found a great Michael Kors bags at TJMaxx.

My BJ has prada bags but they just didn't seem like something I'd like in my collection.

8. I love the Burberry pattern and have for years.
Most of my purses are Coach from the outlet or Vera Bradley, but when I saw this at Christmas I was dying. Then, Costco ran out of them, and obviously someone returned this one from Christmas, and I was there to snag it.

11. There's a QVC outlet in DE? Holy crap. That would be worth
braving the tolls.

Inquiring minds want to know.

5. No kangaroos were harmed in the making of my purse.
Naugahydes, well, that is a different story.

7. Hmm. I am curious. What makes it worth $200 let alone $900?
Just asking. Not saying anything about feeding homeless people, just wondering what could be so special as to make a purse worth that much?

9. Nothing. LOL. It's just a designer scheme.
I have adored the pattern for years, but felt that spending that much was silly. For Christmas, I wanted to get the one at Costco, but they ran out, so voila. My rebate came last week and I happened to be there today where I snagged the last one.

And, the feeding homeless people is a joke. sniffa is always poking at me, but I do contribute a lot to food banks, etc. Second Harvest is my favorite.

12. Well I doubt that most homeless people would find it that tasty anyway.
Is it leather? I suppose boiled long enough and with a little hot sauce it might not be too bad.
