If you're in the market for a winter bag, keep a close eye on closeouts from places like Campmor, Backcountry and REI. I think we got our bags from Campmor two years ago on sale. Good winter bags aren't cheap unfortunately, but if you keep an eye out, you can sometimes find a great deal. In fact, Campmor has a women's bag similar to mine (Kelty Light Year 0 degree bag) on sale for $160 (that's down from $290).
