We do a lot of traveling and tend to buy new luggage every 4-5 years. If you’ve ever shopped for luggage, you know it’s not cheap! You can buy $100 to $1,000 for just one piece depending on the brand that you buy. Yes, that’s …

Earlier this month I went into Ross looking for a few women’s items to add to my summer wardrobe. I was looking for comfortable casual pieces. Things I could wear all day around the house or while out running errands. I found several things and here’s what I purchased:
Floral print short-sleeve knit women’s top for $8.99. It’s a well-known name brand and extremely well-made. No flaws at all and it fits me nicely. I’ve been wearing this top with my light pink capris, white shorts, white capris and a light pink skort that I have. It works well with many of the bottoms I already have.
Striped women’s short-sleeve knit women’s top for $5.99. Again, it’s from a well-known name brand and made well. I’ve been wearing it with my white denim shorts, white denim capris and with my black denim jeans. Looks a lot nicer than a plain t-shirt!
Tie-Dye Silky Smooth Women’s Leggings were on sale for $8.99. Another name brand that many of you would be familiar with. They’re pull-on styling in an ankle length. They’re so comfortable and perfect for when I’m out walking, doing yoga or just running errands. They wash and wear so nicely!!! They pair wonderfully with workout capris, another versatile option for comfortable and stylish workout clothes.
Finally, I got a 6-pack of Kenneth Cole no-show women’s white socks. We all need to freshen-up our white no-show socks in the summertime! The markdown price was $5.99 for all 6 pairs of socks! I went back the following week to get more and they were all gone. Shucks, I could of gotten more for Christmas gifts for my daughter and granddaughter. Sigh.
In the photograph you’ll also see a medium-sized white ceramic planter. I love houseplants and have about 30 of them in my home. I’m always looking for new high-quality plant pots! That one was marked down to $4.99 so I grabbed that too! Now all I need to do is purchase another bag of Miracle-Gro potting soil.
I got some great fashion deals on that particular day. Who am I kidding? I always get great women’s fashion deals when I shop at Ross Dress for Less!

When I go out to shop for bargains…Home Depot is typically not at the top of my list. However, my husband needed a few things from Home Depot for a home remodeling project, so we went in. As he shopped for the items he needed …
Have you seen the prices for food while shopping at your big chain grocery stores? Oh my gosh, how are people able to feed their families? Inflation and the price for food is totally out of control. I never thought I would see the day …
Due to the China Virus Covid-19 Pandemic I haven’t been going out shopping at retail stores as much as I used to. With that said, I do venture out if I need to go out for other things: groceries, prescriptions, etc. When I go out…I do all of my shopping that I need to do in one day instead of going out multiple days.
Last month I had to go out and stopped by my local Big Lots and Dollar General Stores. They’re both in the same shopping plaza, so I was able to walk from one store to the other. I made sure I went early in the morning (less crowds) so I could get in and out. Oh yeah, I stay out of retail stores during the weekends when they’re busy.
While I was at Big Lots I found several great bargains & deals. I got 2 large bottles of Cutex nail polish remover on clearance for .75 cents each. I purchased a 24-count box of Quaker Chewy Granola Bars on clearance for $1.75 and a package of Croissants with Strawberry Filling for $1.25 and it has 6 large croissants that are individually packaged. My grandchildren love them! In the home decor section I found my BEST FIND of the day. I purchased 2 dark turquoise colored throw pillows for our family room sofa. Each one was marked down to $2.50 each. If they would of had more…I would of bought them! You can’t beat throw pillows for that price and they’re very nicely made!!!
At Dollar General I picked up a few groceries and then purchased this wall clock on clearance for $4.00. We wanted an inexpensive battery-operated wall clock to hang up in our pool room. Now while in that room we’ll be able to see the time. The blue and white color works great with our color scheme too. In the children’s clothing section of the store I found this 2-piece boy’s Spiderman Jogging Set. It has a zipper-front hoodie and matching pull-on pants. It was marked down to $10.00 so I picked it up for my grandson. I saved even more than those prices because I used a $5.00 off a $25.00 purchase too. Yeah! I love finding bargains and deals! (clock is shown in first photo)
