It was a real blessing. Clothing is so expensive these days, so when I do catch a rare sale, I try to make the most of it.

All that is a most excellent deal!

I had a hard time believing that their stuff would be any good considering their low prices but what I was sent was excellent quality.

So I now have 11 new mock-neck tops which all fit me. (I'll keep the old stuff which is way too big for use when I'm gardening or cleaning.)

Have clothing prices also gone up as well as food prices there in Spain?

I haven't bought any clothing lately but I have bought shoes and yikes...yes, a lot more expensive for the good kind I need for my foot issues.

That's something that's bugging the heck out of me.

I've yet to see the first article written about this runaway inflation but people's wages sure aren't keeping up with it.

I can tell you something else I've noticed: All the luxury products are slowly but surely disappearing from all the local grocery stores. Sure, you can still buy stuff online, but more and more you can't simply go to the grocery store, pick it up off a shelf, and then take it over to the checkout lane.

The tops I got all fit me well--both the men's and the women's. Hopefully you will find they are a good deal for you too.

What colors would you like to get?

The men's mock-necks were also on sale--all the basic neutrals--so I got some of them as well as the women's pastel colors.

I now have: black, navy, brown, deep green, heathered gray, burgundy red, bright pink, salmon-pink, palest green, lavender, and a light blue.

(I know eleven sounds like a lot but I'm replacing all the tee's that are way too big for me now and I know I'll never see such low prices as I did during that sale.)

I hope you can get all the colors you like!

I don't think I've ever seen them in stores. Blair is a catalog though and they carry a lot of different colors. They used a good quality of knit fabric too.

I've never had a sewing machine that was much good at sewing knits.
