In today’s Reader Mail:
Hi BS,
I feel like I should probably already know the answer to this, but! I was wondering if you could just give us your straight up answer: Where are the last five places you spent money online? And then I would be interested in what other people have to say. I bought sheets (really cheap!) at Overstock.
Thanks!
B.
Ours are totally weird and non-representative:
The Brooklyn poster we mentioned a while back
Mini DV head cleaner at B&H
A Powershot Canon camera at Best Buy
Fancy art paper at Dick Blick
and jeans at the Shopbop sale.
We love this question. What about everyone else?
If we thought about it, maybe we would have bought this dress: School of Women dress, was $154, now $61
books for Father’s Day at Amazon.com
new laptop at newegg.com
cute dresses on sale and brown leather flip flops at American Eagle.com
hotel room for Ft. Lauderdale vacation at travelocity.com
upside down tomato hanger for mother’s day at Amazon.com
Oh and tickets to sex and the city at movietickets.com
dolce vita sandals: overstock.com
rogan for target swim bottoms: target.com (which may as well be amazon.com)
used copy of don quijote: alibris.com
ticket to LA: southwest.com
northface ‘apex’ jacket: backcountry.com
Interesting question!
