OK, did anyone else look at the Anthropologie bag and think "I could pay for 3 nights in a hotel for that bag"? :-d

Yes, I admit it, I'm cheap!

I tore an ad our of our paper today for a luggage sale at Macy's. It is 50% off the Samsonite Silhouette 10, Travelpro Crew 6, Delsey Helium Fusion and a few others. Plus, you get a $50 gift card when you purchase. So I am toying with it.

I love my old Skyway stuff...very durable, beat to heck already, and I am a pro at packing with it. But it is always fun to consider new, lol!

Hmmm..thanks for the tip..just may have to check it out tomorrow...was at a Macy store on Thursday..the sales were so awesome I was overwhelmed and didn't buy ANYTHING! That goes along with trying to downsize!But first I will check out the luggage restrictions for Delta.

Toed! You're not the only one... ;)

Although I was asking, so, where would I put that money towards? (the sure answer, was, of course, a plane ticket!)

Thanks Mcnyc! My thought is that it would give me 2-3 more days on vacation rather than sitting at home staring at my beautiful new carry on bag. :)

The best time to buy luggage is in January. JCPenney usually has good sales on their sets around that time.

Toed, I go to TJ Maxx for my luggage, which I've found to have good name brand luggage for relatively cheap.

But that doesn't mean I don't look at nice luggage like the one Scarlett posted! I still breathe, and I'm a sucker for nice bags. :D

I know. There's an Eddie Bauer carry on that I drooled over before the holidays. It had all sorts of compartments and had a little daybag that zipped off it. There was one at Ross for $20, but the main zipper was messed up. When I looked at prices elsewhere, I didn't do it. I kept telling myself I'd never use the daybag anyway (I don't really wear backpacks unless I'm hiking) - but I still think fondly of that little bag. :)
