Bargains Everywhere!!

Yesterday was my great day of bargain hunting.  I started off at the Whispering Pines Thrift store, where I spent a cool $6.  I got Mark 2 Ralph Lauren shirts (they look brand new), a brand new ice cream scoop, New Mary Kay Cleanser, 2 new bottles of Clinque Clarifying lotion, toddler shoes, a cookbook, 2 mysteries and a box of cards.  The Mary Kay Cleanser, Clinque lotion and toddler shoes are all on Ebay. 

Toddler Shoes...for a quarter

Clinque Clairfying Lotion...20 cents

                                            Mary Kay Cleanser....$1

Then it was off to Walgreens where I had some coupons from their flier and some that I printed off the internet this morning.  My challenge this month was not to go grocery shopping, and so far I haven't been in the grocery store, so technically I think that I am still okay. 

These are the items I got at Walgreens.  Somehow, I got the reuse bag free...not sure why though.   Every thing was free after coupons and register rewards except one roll of tape.  My final bill was $1.06.  Plus I got $3 in register rewards.  I even got me some more tabs to organize my coupons in this load.  I am pretty much stocked up on packaging tape now....I have 10 rolls. LOL

After leaving Walgreens, I decided to stop in at Belk's....so glad I did.  They went to 80% off today in Southern Pines.  I had blouses ringing up $1.98 and skirts for $4.98.  I spent a total of  $31.72 and saved $354.65.  I got 5 blouses and 2 skirts.  I would show you a picture, but they have already been packed.  My Pender County friends, you will see these clothes at church the next several Sundays.  LOL  I was so excited as the cashier rang my items up...she kept shouting, "oh my, that was only $1.98."  She was kind of more excited than me at some point.

All in all, not a bad day in my shopping word and I didn't break my challenge and go grocery shopping.   Can't wait to see how much my finds will make me on Ebay...will let you know.

Today started out a little windy, but not bad enough to stop us from shopping. We first had to fuel up on some good eats from K & W Cafeteria. We had not had breakfast and it was now 11 am. After tanking up, we headed for Toys R Us for a little Christmas shopping and some just because we love you presents. We got some games at $3.99, plus a $2 rebate. We spent over $120, but after discounts and coupons we paid $57...plus we are getting $14 of that back in rebates. A quick stop at Best Buy turned up an unexpected deal...$6 for blackberry chargers that are usually $40. We have chargers, but these have the stands... not sure if they are keepers or Ebay inventory. Then it was off to Kohl's to exchange Mark's jeans. We each found us a few things and earned us $10 in Kohl cash, which we are using come Monday. Then it was off to Belk's to exchange things I bought last week. I am in need of jeans, but I have midget legs. There are NO midget jeans at Belk's. I guess I am going to have to write to "The Little People" on TLC and see where she gets her clothes. Seriously, my legs are short. To fit me is like buying Frosty the Snowman with legs an outfit. I am thinking about buying maternity clothes and just letting people think I am pregnant. I did find a red glitter blouse to do my Christmas performances in...now I just need some bookings for Christmas. I did some how manage to earn $10 in Belk Bucks, which I will use come Monday. We finished up our day with dinner at Atlanta Bread. It was a great spent together. We got everything done that we set out to do today, so tomorrow it is just rest and relaxation for us.
