Frugal Shopping – Buying Candy and Decor After the Easter Holiday
When I shop for "after the holiday" bargains and deals I like to hit the retail stores 1-2 weeks AFTER the holiday has passed.

Frugal Finds – Bargain Deals on Over-Sized Throw Blankets
I'm a bargain shopper and I love going out to find bargain deals after a major holiday...like Christmas!

I went into one of my favorite … [Read more...] about Frugal Finds – Bargain Deals on Over-Sized Throw Blankets
