1. Beth Jones didn't buy the shoes. The girl who bought the skirt spent half of the regular price. Terry spent $25 on her item.
2. Sarah was not the girl who spent $35 on an item that was regularly priced at $45. Miss Turner, whose first name isn't Jennifer, didn't buy the jeans.
3. Molly spent more money than the girl who bought the necklace, but her item's regular price was $10 less than Miss Smith's.
4. The person who bought the jeans had a regular price that was higher than Miss Anderson, but lower than the girl who bought the purse.
5. Sarah's last name wasn't Smith. Miss Welch didn't spend $40, but the regular price of her item was $15 more than the sale price. The person who bought the necklace spent $30, but it wasn't Sarah.
