Fun, Frugal Finds is all about those great bargains and deals that I stumble across when I’m out shopping. These bargains can be items I’ve purchased from yard sales, antique stores, retail stores, flea markets, mom and pop shops, farmer’s markets, etc. I’m always shopping for deals.
A few weeks ago I walked into a national chain “home type of store” and came across a clearance bin that was stacked full of brand new kitchen linens. These were first-quality items like hand towels, dish cloths, place mats, napkins, table runners, oven mitts, hot pads, etc.
I’m always looking for new kitchen linens and buying them. Why? I’m into home canning, freezing, baking, cooking, etc. and I’m always putting my linens through a workout. I can ruin an entire pack of tea towels in less than a month. Yup, I’m hard on my kitchen linens.
Anyway, I was digging around in the clearance bin and found 100% cotton, over-sized kitchen hand towels on clearance for $3.50 and you got 3 of them in a pack. They’re a nice thickness and really well-made. I picked up 2 packages so I got 6 new kitchen towels for $7.00. Wow. Nice!!!
I continued digging in the bin and came across packs of 100% cotton dish clothes that were packaged 4 dish cloths to a pack. They were on clearance for $3.00 per pack! They were made by the same “name brand” company as the towels but the stripe was in a different color. I purchased two packs of those, so I got 8 dish cloths for $6.00. Again, really nice quality.
After I left that store I stopped in to the Farmer’s Market (it’s an indoor market) to pick up an order. This particular farmer’s market has 12 other vendors inside it. Some sell other type’s of food and a few are craft vendors. I was walking by the one vendor and spotted a coastal/beach themed kitchen towel that she had croheted a hanging loop on the top. It’s so you can hang it up in your kitchen. She only had this one coastal design and it was marked down to $3.00. Well, shucks…I purchased that too! I couldn’t resist.
Have you been out shopping lately? Have you come across any good bargains or deals? If so, what did you buy? I would love to hear about your great finds.
I miss going out to stores to find special deals and bargains. I hope that I shall be able to start doing this again within a month or two.
I miss going out just for finding bargains. Haven’t done that in 2 years now.
Unfortunately, I still don’t go shopping unless I have something to buy and I get it and leave. I love looking for bargains and I hate being stuck in the house. I hope you and your family are doing ok with the weather that ran up the coast near you. Take care.
