Fun Frugal Finds: Fall and Autumn Home Decor

Fun Frugal Finds: Fall and Autumn Home Decor

Three weeks I ran into my local A.C. Moore’s craft store to pick up a few bottles of craft paint. While I was in there…I browsed around the store to see what kind of deals that I could fine. You all know me, I’m a

Fun, Frugal, Finds: Home Goods from Big Lots

If you’ve been reading the Two Classy Chics blog for the past few years, you’ll already know that I’m a frugal bargain shopper and one of my favorite stores to hit when I’m looking for bargains is Big Lots! Every time I go in there…I

Fun, Frugal, Finds – Back to School Clothing for Kids!

Frugal Finds and Hot DealsWe’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!

Back-to-School Kid's Clothes from Boscovs

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.

Slim Style Closet Hangers Save Closet Space

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!!!

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 

Classic and Beautiful Thanksgiving Turkey Platter

How many of you enjoy shopping at flea markets, yard sales, consignment stores or at second-hand stores? For me personally, I love hitting up the flea market and every once in awhile…I’ll enjoy shopping at a yard sale if I can find a good one or a multi-family one going on near our neighborhood.

Back in October my husband and I drove an hour away to visit a large indoor & outdoor flea market that we’ve never been to before. It’s called the Green Dragon and is located in Ephrata Pennsylvania.

Thanksgiving Turkey Platter

One of the cool things about this flea market is that it’s a combination flea market, farmer’s market and auction site. On top of that…they have regular craft stores, butcher shops, candy stores, deli stores and little mom & pop cafe’s & eateries that are there week after week. Sad thing though, this place is only open on Friday’s from 9 AM to 9 PM…so you have to take off work to go if you don’t live nearby. Sigh. I wish they were open all weekend!

On our first visit there I purchased some fresh meats from one of the butcher shops, some deli meats & cheeses, 2 boxes of freshly made fudge and out in the flea market area I found this super large, brand new Thanksgiving Turkey Platter for only $2.00. Yup, I snagged it up! You can always use more than one platter when it comes to holiday meals.

So, have you found any great bargains or deals in the past 2 weeks? If so, tell me about them!
