Today the Ebates daily double is Nordstrom. It’s only 12% back, which isn’t any terrific discount, but their items don’t often go on sale at all. Several years ago, when I had my first son, I’m embarrassed to admit, but I saw the bra-fitting episode on Oprah, and I went to Nordstrom just for that. I really don’t like her, but she was right about the bra thing. A new, well fitted bra does wonders! I had a newborn baby and was breastfeeding, so finding a decent bra was an issue for me. The bras were more expensive than I had ever thought I would spend on a bra, but worth it. That was November of 2006, and here I am in May of 2011 replacing them. Expensive yes, but lasted me five years. After all, how many $10-$15 bras have I picked up at  TJMaxx and never worn? Many! Better to spend more on a staple item that you will wear and will last; that’s smart spending.
