Weekend Bargains

Here are more bargains I found during a fun shopping trip with friends:

-Lovely starfish carving. A Big Lots find! Originally $20 marked down to $5! Slap some paint on it and it will be perfect in our slowly evolving resort style bedroom. 

And by ever evolving I mean that the only part of it that looks resortish at the moment is the plant on top of our mini fridge.

-Hanging votive candles. Thrifted for $2 each.

-Wrought iron candle stands. All three for $2. Well, what was I to do? I just had to bring them home.

-Watering can. I can't believe I finally have one! I love you, Big Lots clearance! $6 marked down to $3.

-More terra cotta pots for my plant addiction. Thrifted 3 for $2. 

Seems like the bargain fairy is hanging around :). She can stay for a while as far as I'm concerned, because I'm still looking for a few things!

What bargains did you find last weekend?

Disney Online Store Deals!!

Just web surfing while Baby Boy watches Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. It made me think of checking out Disney products and I'm so glad I did! Thought I'd share:

The Disney Store has a few great deals right now!  You can get children's pajamas for $8.50 or 2 pairs of children's flip flops for $6 and figurine play sets starting at $5.99. 

Make it an even sweeter deal: Buy any Disney Parks Item and use promo code PARKSFREE for FREE shipping! Some of the Parks Items are on sale for $2.99, like this cute windup car below. Visit The Disney Store to take advantage of these deals or click on any of the links above to be taken to a specific product. 

Saving Money

I've been inspired by one of my relatives to try super coupon shopping. I remember reading about it a few years ago and being interested but very intimidated. Seeing that a real person whom I knew existed was experimenting with this form of shopping and being successful at it made me deeply intrigued and itching to get started on my own. You can read about her forays into the super coupon phenomenom on her blog Adventures of a Wannabe Cheapskate, which I'm following with a passion. I've recently found another helpful site The Coupon Queen which is clearing up so many of my questions. I'm systematically going through these two blogs' archives to read every single tip they've ever typed on there. I sound obsessed. I like to think of it as committed. What with the crafts and couponing, it looks like I'll have more to write about. That's always a good thing. Therapeutically speaking. For me, I mean. It might be slow torture for anyone reading. But isn't that what's so great about this form of expression? I can put thoughts on here and have the satisfaction of having expressed myself, without worrying too much. There are no deadlines. No editors. Basically, no stress. I'm so glad I started this. This project has given me goals and a sense of focus I've been needing.
