Ok, for our final, last shopping trip we went to Freeport. I was looking for a ski jacket, and Michelle was given a gift card to L.L. Bean. After not finding anything that fit at Patagonia, we went to North Face and got a $300 jacket for $60! Though they won't honor the warranty. It was made in Vietnam.
At Bean Michelle got a couple of sweaters. While Bean has built their company on the image of Maine, they don't hide that much of their clothing is now made in China (see photo). Though some of their things are still made here.
Then, late last night, Michelle bought a sweater rack online.
So now we begin our no shopping year. Details to follow.

To be fair, the LL Bean sweaters were bought with a gift card from work and the drying rack was to extend the life of my clothing by air drying, plus we reduce usage of the old dryer. I also went crazy and bought a couple of shirts from this store that seems to specialize in organic cotton clothing and bongs.
Oh, I also went a little crazy and bought 2 shirts and a pair of vegan shoes at alternativeoutfitters.com. All before 1/1/08 though.
