6,000 for a bed? I think not.
And another thing, bed company name, Carpe Diem? LOL
Is this the best stuff you could find?
saw the stuff and all I could say was BLAH
Most of what you have to offer is quite expensive! Don’t you ever offer anything for people living on a Subsidized Fixed Income? Are these items supposed to be like Top-of-the-line products? You could start offering other more less expensive items! Just a thought.
This is a very poor example of the great things you can find in Toronto if you use a bit of effort – the effort you would expect from, say, your city’s #1 lifestyle magazine. It looks like the list a new self-proclaimed “popular blogger” living on a trustfund, with no feel for style or reality, would come up with. It’s just expensive, mediocre stuff.
Get real…Goodwill, Valu Village, Dollar Store, etc. offer super shopping and have been doing so for eons. Check the cars in the parking lot to get an overview of the customer base.
the coats are generally excellent quality but I would not be caught dead in those stripes
I want that coat!!!
