Unbelievable coincidence- shoes

June 15th, 2012 at 01:15 am

Yup, that's right, this entry is about shoes. Some of you may recall that I said that after my Visa was paid off I was going to go out and buy a new pair of shoes. I work in the corporate world and need solid decent shoes that look professional. And I wear flats - many years of uber high heeled disco shoes have destroyed my feet. The shoes that I wear are the Ecco brand and they are pricy at about $175 a pair. The ones I am currently wearing have a split seam at the sole, and I have a very discrete twist tie holding the decorative clasp together, along with duct tape on the inside to cover the gap by the sole (I know you are laughing at this and getting an incredible visual).

So I'm at Value Village (used stuff for cheap) looking for curtains - hey, why by new? And I stop by the shoe aisle. And low and behold, there are my exact shoes, brand new, never worn, same colour, same brand, for $11.99. I absolutely swooned! They are a Euro 41, mine old ones are a Euro size 40. Not such a big difference. So I saved myself at least $160 + 13% tax.

And the funny thing is that I got my original shoes for free because a product I received as a Christmas gift fell apart after a few months and they sent me a gift card.

As Julie Andrews sang in the Sound of Music "sometime in my youth, or childhood, I must have done something good".
Awesome!!!!

I sure won't keep Ecco in business but I love their product!

    ECCO shoes for twelve bucks?! That is fantastic - I love when a trip to a discount place leads to a huge score like that. Congratulations! One of my favorites was when I got a new North Face winter parka that retailed for over $400 for less than $50... also not too shabby! Being willing to look for bargains offers no insurance of a regular payoff like that, but it can certainly happen...
