feel like a vulture

Saving log - $0 tip box
Spending log - $16 purse

A local boutique, Lemon Meringue, is closing. I walked past tonight, as I've walked past many nights. I've been in several times, enjoyed the nice things, even got seduced by a couple of bags --

Then I'd look at the price, and thought, "nice, but not THAT nice."

This time I came in, made a beeline for the deepest sale racks, and saw a lovely bag for $19 (original price $80). Actually, with an additional mark down, it went for $16.

I felt, and still feel, a bit like a vulture. The co-owner I chatted with was sympathetic - we would do the same thing, she said. We're developing perhaps an online presence...if nothing else, we will be doing something else. And thank you for shopping locally.

She poured both of us each a glass of wine; both vulture and victim drank.

    such a sad sign of the times indeed. But still better at $16 than sitting in the owners closet or on a table at the garage sale for much, much less.
