Last weekend I stopped by a local yard sale and purchased a square shaped wicker basket for .50 cents. It was in wonderful, like-new condition and brown in color. I knew as soon as I saw that basket that it would make a great houseplant …
Holy Guacamole! Guess what we stumbled upon at the grocery store 12 days ago? Yup, a great bargain deal on fresh pork! We went into the store to pick up a few things and the manager’s special caught our eye. The deal was this: Buy …
Last weekend I got out for a little shopping trip and headed to one of my favorite stores: The Christmas Tree Shop which has a very misleading name. 80% of items in the store have nothing to do with Christmas!!!
I was looking to buy some new bath towels, beach/pool towels, a pad for my outdoor rocking chair and new curtains for the dining room which we’re remodeling. Well, I struck gold on a few things that I found.
The 2-piece chair pad set in my photo was marked down to $12.99. I was looking for a coastal print but couldn’t find one…so I went with this beach blue and white check pattern which works!
I then headed into the bath linens area and found Cannon cotton over-sized bath towels on clearance! The solid colors were $6.99 each and the prints were $7.99 each. I picked up 2 solids and 2 prints. Sadly, I couldn’t find matching washcloths, but that’s okay because I was happy with the towels!
They have a small clothing section (mainly seasonal t-shirts) and had Patriotic Tees marked down to $4.99 each. I picked up two for my hubby. He likes over-sized cheap tees to wear when working around the house. They’re perfect for that!
Regarding the dining room curtains…yup, I found some and I bought 5 pairs! I’ll show you a photo of what I selected in a week or so once I get them hung up. A beautiful coastal print in muted colors…perfect for my home decor!
Have you found any good buys lately?
I went shopping last week with my husband to a local food outlet store. It’s called the Bakery Outlet but they sell a lot more than just baked goods. You can find cereals, snack cakes, canned goods, candy, snack foods, lunch meat, milk, bottled juices, …
A few weeks ago my daughter and I decided to spend the day together. It was really nice to have some one-on-one time with her. We call them Mommy-Daughter Dates. On this particular date we drove the 15 minutes down to the Hershey Outlets in …
I love shopping for bargains and last month I stumbled on a great one! I had to go into the Dollar General Store to pick up a few things and found all kinds of leftover Christmas items on clearance. When I say clearance…try 75 to 80% off! That’s my kind of clearance sale!
Christmas Gift Bags (small) 6 in a pack for .90 cents
Christmas Gift Bags (medium) 4 in a pack for .90 cents

Tins of Danish Butter Cookies .50 cents each
Boxes with 8 packets of Hot Cocoa .50 cents each

Can you say stock-up time? Yes, indeed! I purchased all of the gift wrap, bags, bows, tags, etc. that I would need for Christmas 2021 and ONLY spent $8.00. I will have more than I actually need! The kitchen towels were too cute to pass up, especially for .35 cents each. I bought 3 of those and I’ll use them later this year. Seriously, I got all kinds of stuff, five bags full plus all of the rolls of gift wrap.
Once I was home I added everything up. If I would of paid full price for everything I would of spent close to $68.00. Instead, I spent a little over $15.00 including the cookies, hot cocoa and candy. Wow, what a deal!
So, what kind of bargain deals have you found lately? Any frugal finds?
I enjoy visiting flea markets, yard sales, second-hand stores, antique shops, etc. when we travel. It’s always fun to find a hidden treasure at a bargain basement price! Especially if that hidden treasure is brand new, never used!!! I love finding those type’s of deals. …
We’re into the month of March and I’m still finding some mega clearance deals on leftover Christmas and holiday merchandise! Usually I don’t find anything once we’re into the month of March, so I was pleasantly surprised to find these deals at Gabe’s a few …
