To quote George Clooney's character in Up in the Air, "I stereotype. It's faster." And the title of this blog is exactly that, a stereotype. One I have chosen to explain my dutch heritage to those who have never met someone that has dutch blood. Some call me cheap, I call myself savvy. I'm here to flaunt my cheapness, share others and dump my other random thoughts. Enjoy!

You paid waaaht?
Set scene: AM meeting at my favorite coffee shop with a client and a co worker. Wearing a cute, ruffled around the neck, flowing, ash gray, cotton shirt. Feeling good - as it flows away from the body (big lunch day) and allows me to run around like a 5 year old child all day long. Oh and it's sleeve-less.. HUGE perk on a 102 degree day. First words out of my clients mouth are, " Love your shirt." While most peoples response would be the proper thank and you, I take no breath.. cut her off from her last word and say, "Ya, and it was only 4 dollars." Side note: I do this all the time, my coworker even called me out on it. Gotta spread the knowledge! Then I share one of my favorite bargain bonanzas: Old Navy 50 percent off sale days - which means, for those that are not already fans, the sale items are half off! I haven't been able to calculate the cycle (when they occur), but I always walk out of there with a bag full of items and only a 20 dollar tab. My last adventure into the Navy included this lovely shirt, a zip up sweatshirt (perfect for after the gym) I had been eying all summer and a great jet blue (too soon?)tailored shirt for work. And... all for under 17 bucks. I am still high from that one...
