Casio Watches- $4.97

2011-09-11T20:15:00.000-07:00

Scored a Casio watch at Rite Aid today for $4.97. They have all their watches marked 75% off! This is a great deal, the price tag said $79! I originally bought it as a Christmas present for mybf but It was such a good deal that I couldn't keep it a secret. They also have some of their Summer stuff for 50-75 % off. If you have a child with a Summer birthday, now would be the time to pick up some cheap goodies and store them away until then, that is, if you can keep a secret!

My recent goodwill finds

2010-09-26T12:58:00.000-07:00

I just fell in love with this when I saw it. Only problem is that I don't exactly know whee to put it. So, for now, I threw a flower glued onto ribbon on it and it sits on my counter. Any ideas?

Just look at these cute cups. I fell in love with the colors. They are so colorful and shaped so cute. They were only .69 each cup.

I already have a pitcher the same color of this that I found at the goodwill a couple months ago. I tied a little orange bow on it for fall. It now sits with the pitcher in my hutch that has glass doors so you can see through.

Before

After

And last but not least, this cute little canister. I have it sitting in my bathroom on top of the toilet. Any ideas on what to fill it with? I found everything that I have been looking for in this one trip! I was def happy when I found the cheese cloche. Everybody has these cuties out there in blog land!

.13 febreeze products

2010-09-13T18:42:00.000-07:00

Tonight I decided to go to rite aid because I had some up rewards to use. I did all my shopping, left and then found a coupon for the candle and the reed I saw there on sale. The reeds and the candle were on clearance for 50% off. But, the candle was originally $15.99 and the reeds were $10.99. I was surprised when she rang them up and they came to about $9.00. I had a coupon for the candle that was $4/1 (I think this was from the pg 8/29) and a coupon for the reed set for $2/1. My total after coupons- $1.13. I used a $1.00 up reward and only paid .13!!!

I have seen wall plates everywhere this year. So, I thought I would try myself. It was actually very easy. Just find some plates that you love, hot glue some ribbon on the back and tie, viola! Be careful when hanging however, I dropped one of my english abby plates:( But, just love the way my picture wall has turned out!

Todays deals and steals

2010-09-12T18:17:00.000-07:00

Here are some treasures I found this week. Some of them are being redone and sold at a local craft show, so excited!

My mom purchased this chair for me at a garage sale. It is an antique, and for only $10 a steal! This one, I am keeping for my bedroom. I am going to also look up the name on the chair, It is dated 1887 s bent and brothers. Wonder if that means anything.

Cost: $10 for chair

$6.88 for the spray paint

I forgot to take a before picture of this. It was a dark navy blue with a board on the back. It is a very good size, and still had the price tag on the back of $36. It was also labeled a calender holders. I spray painted it aqua and distressed it and am thinking about turning into a kitchen chalkboard. This is one of my items going to the craft show. Will post more pictures when complete.

Cost: $1.99 for the frame

Paint: $2.00

My dollar store inspired decor

2010-09-09T06:33:00.000-07:00

I have decorated my entire kitchen with either cheap or free (hand me downs from mom) stuff! There really is no theme for my decor, I call it eclectic. It does have kind of a country feel, at least to me It does. I tend to fall towards the country look because that is where I really want to be, lol. I want a big Contry house with acres and acres of land. I even want chickens so I can fetch my own eggs. Hey, you can never find a coupon for eggs, and everyone knows I dont like buying anything without a coupon.

Partylite vase- Free from mom (Apples $5 at walmart)

My counter as it is now. Nothing special, but I think it looks cute. I think It is about to get a fall makeover. I was never one to decorate seasonally, but I am just feeling it this year.

What do you think I should do to the counter for fall?

My diy finds and redos

I found this goldish metallic star at the goowill for .99. Couldnt decide what to do with it at first, but after painting it black, I decided to hang it near my computer and use it for pens, and important papers. Cost: $1.50

My next find was from a garsge sale. My mom actually bought this for me for $1.00.

I didnt care for it at all, It had a dark wood top before I sanded it. I thought it looked like

something someone would put their cotton balls, It was to say the least, ugly. So, I sanded it down, banged the lid up a bit, and put a knob on it that I already owned. Total cost to me: Free! Except the bag of oreos I filled it back up with that cost me .50.

This is my favorite, I love the way it turned out. Jeff and I have actually come uo

with the idea of selling my projects and craft shows. This one though, I am going to keep.

Cost: $1.99 for frame

.99 for paint

About .50 for the cardboard

.97 for the paint

$3.00 for the nails

$1.00 for the decals

       This is the partylite vase my mom gave me. I got some stuff from the dollar store and just exchanged them for this suff from the dollar store.
                                          Cost: $1 for the moss
                                                     $1 each for the cattales, flowers $3.00
                                                     $1.00 for the leaves

Kroger: My Magazine

2010-09-03T18:47:00.000-07:00

Being a Kroger customer really has its perks. First of all, you can load coupons directly onto your Kroger card. Secondly, they send out exclusive coupons to their best customers. I have been a regular shopper at Kroger for about 4 years now. Just recently, I have been getting the Kroger my magazines in my mailbox. They are full of exclusive coupons, usually things that can be found on sale that week. So, make sure you get a Kroger customer savings card and make sure your address is correct so you to can recieve your savings via mail!

Outlet Bakeries

2010-09-01T14:01:00.000-07:00

If you live here in Michigan, you can score great deals at the outlet bakeries here. There is one on Hill rd, east of 23 and one on Dort Hwy Before Maple road. The one on Hill Rd is the Sara Lee outlet and the one on Dort is the Aunt Millie outlet. I usually get my bread for under .80, which is a great deal for name brand bread. If you do not live in Michigan, search around for outlets in your area. You can also find snack pies and bagels for a low price.

Dollar store hurricanes

2010-08-29T20:06:00.000-07:00

I came across these beautiful hurricanes made by Socalifornialife. She found the hurricanes at the dollar tree and glued on the candle holders on the bottom that she also found at the dollar tree. I am going to order a case of both of these on the dollar tree website. You get 12 each in a case. I am making these as Christmas gifts and giving a set of 2 out to each person. I will post them once I complete them.

Loadable coupons/ Coupon cards

2010-08-29T19:36:00.000-07:00

Most stores now offer store loyality shoppers cards. Be sure to ask while checking out if they have a shoppers card program. Some stores now even require you to have a loyality cards, like Rite Aid.
