Small Ways to save big??

[NW-Bound]

My wife recently picked up from the local thrift store a pair of Rockport boat shoes for me. I think she paid less than $5 for something that did not look like they had been worn. They weren't snatched up right away by other shoppers due to their small size for my feet. I remember paying near $100 for a pair ten years ago, and liked them due to comfortability. They felt great from day 1, without having to be broken in.
