I agree with all those Ideas.
My daughter (14) wanted a pair of red patent leather flats that she saw in 17 Magazine. ( $30.00) We

down to Mandee's to see if we could find her a dress for her 8th grade graduation and low and behold there where the red shoes just a different brand for $7.00 on sale, Well they came home with us but the $40.00 dress didn't.
We went to the consigment store and wound up getting 2 dresses for $21.00 that she loves!! and went to a thrift store and got her a pair of white Chinese

(if you got a teen you might have heard of them they arent cheap) Platforms!!
I don't know who was happier that day her or my wallet
