Shopping On A Budget

Shopping on a budget has been something I grew up with and something I still do to this day. My parents we’re immigrants from Vietnam and came to America over 30 years ago. They came to this country with not a penny in their pockets and not knowing a word of english was intense. They worked so hard to provide for my brother and I with the necessities to live day to day life. So you can imagine we didn’t get the newest pair of shoes that were so in or wear mall brands that everyone else were wearing. As a kid you don’t understand the value of money and I remember I would get so upset that we couldn’t afford things every kid had.


I grew up shopping at Marshalls, one of the best places to find brand names for less. Although they didn’t have the exact pieces that were in the mall, they had similar items. You could literally spend the same amount and walk out of Marshalls with a few outfits compared to going to the mall with just one or two pieces. As I got into my teens I started to appreciate Marshalls and realized wow I am getting really nice things for such a great deal and didn’t care to shop in the mall.


Now as an adult I literally live in Marshalls, hands down one of the best places to shop. Although I work hard and can shop wherever I want, I still shop at Marshalls. The deals are just too good to pass up. I love walking out of there happy with a bag full of goodies. This place has always had a special place in my heart so when Marshalls reached out and generously gifted me a giftcard to shop, I literally was ecstatic! I wanted to challenge myself and find a complete outfit for $50 and I sure did that. My entire outfit minus the sunnies came out to $48.97 (AMAZING), the nude sandals were $16.99, the denim shorts were $14.99 and the top was $16.99. My favorite item out of this outfit is the top. It’s so on trend with the one shoulder ruffle with pom poms, so cute! So if you haven’t shopped at Marshalls before you totally need to. I hope in the future Marshalls steps up their game up with online shopping.

Thanks so much Marshalls! xx
