With more than a few new members looking for advice on what to buy for their first Hermes bag and whether or not to take the plunge, maybe this is a good time to
recall how we scrimp on other stuff to save for our Hermes? I think it's been done before but i couldn't find the thread to bump it, sorry.

We all do it. Let's let them in on it! I'll start.

I use my cell instead of a landline.
I clip coupons for groceries.
I get free extra napkins from McDonalds to keep in my car on trips for emergencies.
I buy my designer duds at the end of the season when they are 50% off.
I sell stuff i don't use anymore on Ebay.
I eat at home 99% of the time. This way i eat what i want for 75% less money.

What do you do? How would you save for an Hermes bag if you didn't have one yet?

^^ good for you Jag! That is super, out with the old and in with the new! I may have to do that soon if i want to take the BIG leap i've been talking about, but i am gathering my courage! :sweatdrop:

i only buy things that i absolutely LOVE. i'd rather have a few nice things, rather than many so-so things. i hate clutter so i don't really buy a lot of things like makeup, clothes, things for house, etc...and luckily and surprisingly, i don't go crazy over shoes. also, i'm not into expensive dinners.

so, that leaves handbags (now only hermes) and a few jewelry items that i treasure.
