We’re approaching the end of July now and we’ve already started our back-to-school shopping for the Princess. Every school year I sit down and go through my finances and then I set a budget on what I’ll spend. I’m pretty frugal, but I like her to have nice things, so I’m always shopping for bargains and clearance deals.
Around here we have a large department store called Boscov’s. You’ll find them in several northeast locations. Every summer they put a big tent out into their parking lot and move their clearance items out into the tent & mark them down even more. I love visiting the Boscov’s tent sale and looking for bargains!
Two weeks ago I hit up their tent sale and here’s partially what I found.
1 Girl’s top with a detachable scarf (reg. $19.00) Clearance for $3.99
2 Girl’s Tops with a detachable necklace (reg. $19.00) Clearance for $3.99
20 Slim Hangers in a pack – Clearance for $5.99
Vanilla Cookie Liquid Hand Soap from Softsoap for .95 cents each (got 4 of them)
1 Child’s Backpack (reg. $24.99) Clearance for $4.99 (forgot to take photo)
I’ve been re-doing all of my closets with those slim-style hangers and have been paying a fortune for those hangers from another retailer. I swear I got back at least 50% of my closet space by switching over to them. Anyway, now I’m working on switching over to the hangers for Princess’ closet at her house.
We’re all big hand washers, so I kept 2 of the liquid hand soaps for my house and sent the other 2 over to her house. Rule #1 after she gets in the door from school? Washing your hands!!!

The clothes are adorable and your granddaughter will look so cute in them. I have not heard of slim style hangers and now I think I will be on the lookout for them. It would sure make a difference in closet space.
The only store My husband and I go to regularly is Walmart for our Groceries and what ever else we need. We go their usually 2 times a month. It takes us so long to do the Grocery shopping we are both too tired to go look at sales in Different depts. I do alot of my shopping online for Birthday Presents and things for the Grand Children.. You really got a good deal on the items you bought..I Think Bargain Hunting is Fun.. I used to do it myself when my children were young..
I really love mixing and matching blue and turquoise colors like that. I bought many separates in blue colors for swimwear one year and still wear them, and of course the turquoise jewelry matches as well. I love those hangers and found some at the 99 cent store for 1.99. I watch for bargains on HSN as sometimes they have free shipping and their $10 clearance items will go on sale for $5. That way I don’t have to fight the traffic.
I haven’t been shopping (except for groceries) for at least a couple of months. There isn’t anything I need.
Wow that was a major score on that backpack and I love the tops you got. I haven’t really hit any stores lately. I did stop at the Dollar Tree and picked up some dental stuff and laundry softener yesterday. I need to hit some back to school sales soon.
