“I saw all her rewards cards [to accumulate points at stores] she carries. She had to shift through them to find her Visa card,” Ashlin said.

She also noted that the Duchess went into the fitting rooms at the store and tried on clothes just like everyone else.

So what did Kate walk away with? “A [$130] blue blazer with black lining… [and] a [$76] polka dot skirt. She also bought a pair of earrings.”

Thoughts – I would love to see congress members and family member be thrifty.
