Fun Frugal Finds: Wicker Rattan Storage Ottoman

Time for another Fun Frugal Finds post! For the past year I’ve been wanting one of those storage ottomans that you see in a lot of the retail stores. However, I didn’t want one of those cheap collapsible, folding ones. I wanted a good-quality one that would last me for years.

Like most women, I have a lot of shoes and my bedroom closet is pretty small. In the past, I had to switch out my seasonal shoes and store my non-seasonal ones in the attic. On top of that, I found myself tossing shoes underneath my bed or on my closet floor.

I’ve seen plenty of storage ottomans that I liked, but the ones that I liked were out of my price range. I’m so grateful that I have some patience, because on President’s Weekend I found a bargain! Yup, a bargain!

The local furniture store had all of their ottomans for 50% off the lowest ticketed price. I found the perfect one for my coastal-style bedroom and it was marked down to $69.95 (from $99.99) and then I got 50% off the lowest price…bringing it down to $34.99. The real bonus…I had received a $25.00 gift card at Christmas, so out of pocket only cost me $10.00 plus tax. Yipppeee!

It’s an over-sized storage ottoman that is extremely sturdy. It’s the perfect size to hold about a dozen pairs of shoes & boots, along with a few of my hoodies. I can sit on the top of it and put my boots & shoes on too. I really LOVE how it looks and it’s a great way to keep all of my current season shoes in one place…nicely stored and out-of-sight!

I’m pretty excited about my newest bargain deal that I was able to snatch up. So, what about you? Any good deals and/or bargains lately?
