The day after Thanksgiving, I nearly bought a new pair of boots. The ones I had weren't very comfortable ... they were made for riding horses, a friend of mine told me. They were also too nice to work in the yard with. My friend suggested getting a pair of Ariats, so I looked online and this pair looked really good. The price tag was $150 ... less if I was willing to be a part of the mob a the Western store.
A day or so later, I noticed a pair of work boots on a top shelf in my closet, almost never used. They had been left in NY for snowy weather, and my mother mailed it down here when she cleared out her home. So this year of buying nothing has saved us around $350 in about a week's time. That could add up to some real money after a while.
