Fantasy Shopping

My husband loves Fantasy sports.  He's been commissioner of his Fantasy football and basketball leagues.  Both children's birth stories include details about my husband finishing up his research on his picks for that year's draft.  So, just so you know, fantasy sports are totally acceptable around here.
Fantasy shopping is also very accepted around these parts.
As a Stay at Home Mom, there's not a lot of dress code requirements to meet.  Washable.  Comfortable.  Not super frumpy-making.  All things fairly easy to accomplish on a daily basis.  However, I still enjoy pretending I can indulge in my fashion-plate fantasies every once in a while.  And thank god for the internet, because living in a small-ish town in Montana is not the place to go to indulge said fantasies.
You would think, since this is an activity not based in reality, that I would be all about finding things I like, clicking them into my cart, and moving on, with no regard for price.  Oh, but you would be wrong.  I'm a bargain-hunter, through and through.  Even in my wildest internet fantasy shopping sprees, I search out the least expensive option.  I can't help it.  If I find something I like, or there's a particular item I want to research, I simply must search out other more affordable option.  Sometimes this is fairly easy to do.  And nowadays, there are even whole blogs dedicated to this (fashion here; home decor here)!
How far do these fantasies go?  Far enough that I use this site to see if I can find some free shipping or coupon codes, just to get the price down a bit further.
Cheers and happy shopping -
Mama H
