Score!

I rotate 2 swim suits. Each is a couple of years old but, considering the time they spend in chlorine, they have held up pretty well. Before I found this brand - Krinkle - I rarely had a suit last me more than a few months before some part blew, making wearing it to swim too embarrassing.  Krinkles last but they aren't cheap.  Usually, on sale, they are $60 for the fat girl sizes.

Both of my suits, however, are showing signs of exhaustion.  I noticed this morning that the stitching on the one that is in the best shape is now coming out of the top. I can repair but only for so long.

Today I went online to me two favorite swimsuit sites - swimoutlet.com and swimandsweat.com to check prices, colors, sizes, availability...  Plan was to make notes of what I want and current prices and then keep an eye out for sales.

But, turns out swimoutlet had the exact suit I wanted reduced by $20! Ok by me. The did not have my exact color choices but I managed to find two different colors I like and so I bought 2 new swim suits!! And new goggles with FREE 2 DAY SHIPPING and no sales tax. Under $100 total.

Major score.

Killer! You are such a great bargain hunter.

Terrific! Are your color choices affected by how the chlorine affects them? My mother had a navy blue suit that after repeated exposure to chlorine was sort of a murky grey, though she rinsed it out after each wearing.

That's why I restrict my suits to this particular brand. These suits do not change colors. And, of course, I rinse out my suit in the shower when I'm washing me after every swim.

I thought that might be the case:)
