Thrifty Thursday

I headed to Value Village again this week! I think I am going to take a bit of a break from thrift shopping though, I am a bit burnt out from shopping and running errands. I'll take it back up in a few weeks probably.

On Monday I found quite a few items for really good prices. First off, I finally found myself some comfy velour pants for only $6.99. I have been needing something to wear around the house, so this was a perfect find.

I also got my oldest daughter some cute brown boots with a small heel. She absolutely loves them, which makes me happy. They looked brand new too! They were $6.99 as well, but she did need some new ones as hers from last year were getting worn and a bit too small. And for the winter, I got my youngest daughter a good pair of boots to wear outside for $4.99.

Lastly, I bought a stack of books for the kids for only $5. I got 10 of them, so only $.50 cents each. One of them was in such good condition, it looked brand new, that I'm keeping it aside as a potential Christmas gift for my son.

What good bargains did you find this week?

Thrifty Thursday

I love finding a good deal, don't you? It makes my day when I can find something great for cheap.

Today while I was at Goodwill, I found 3 awesome items for only $8.11 total, including tax.  I found this cake pan, brand new in box, for only $2.99.

It's going for much more on eBay, what an awesome score!   I think maybe we'll try it for my daughter's birthday, but that all depends on whether or not my husband wants to make it.  He's the cake maker in our house, I don't think I've made one of the kids' cakes but once.

I also found a cut black metal bucket, it's quite big actually, about the size of a large soup pan.   It was also brand new in the box, and had floating pumpkin candles with it.  That was only $3.99.  I'm not sure I'll be using the candles, as I don't care for floating candles, but the bucket can be used for many things. 

And my last find at goodwill was a cute little gourd basket.  I just thought it was so neat, and had to have it at only $.49!  It's green.  The picture didn't turn out though.

I also hit up Target today for a few items, and conveniently forgot the one item I went there for.  It figures I would do that, guess I'd better go back tomorrow.    While I was there, and wandering the aisles as I always do, I came across a sale on toys.  Toy sales make me happy.  I picked up a Bionicle for my son.  It was normally $12.99, but on sale for $11.99.  Not a great deal, right? It was also B1G1 Free!!  Score!  Two presents done for Christmas.  Yaay!

Thrifty Thursdays

My thrifty thursday isn't so thrifty according to some, but to myself, I got a fantastic deal!

I went to gymboree last sunday and got 55 pieces of clothing for $163 including tax! It wasn't all accessories, it was regular jeans, shirts, leggings, sweaters etc. There was so much clearance stuff out, so that was heavily discounted. Plus, with the MD sale, I got 20% off on top of that, PLUS I had a 20% coupon. I think I did great! All 4 kids got some goodies. And if you think about it, I spent only $40.75 per child.

Thrifty Thursdays

Hey Readers! Welcome to my 2nd installment in Thrifty Thursdays, hosted by Comical Coupon Cents. I can't think of too much to write, so I am going to share my post from the other day about the jeans from The Children's Place:


Awhile back I found a 15% off code for The Children's Place, on a message board I frequent. It was for online only, but I didnt think I would use it. Well, when we were in the actual store last weekend buying clothes, the SA gave me a coupon for free shipping b/c I couldn't find my middle kid jeans. So a lightbulb went off in my head today! lol

I did find her jeans at Value Village for the summer, brand new. But today I looked at TCP's website and found the baby 3 pairs of jeans for the fall for REALLY cheap. They were on sale already, so I got 3 pairs of jeans for $15.45. Free shipping, and a 15% off coupon let me save around 6 or 7 dollars. I only paid for the jeans and tax, and the jeans were $4.75 each. Score!!!

The grey jeans I actually have for her in her current size, as well as the dark wash ones with the flare. I didnt like the grey jeans at first, but in person they are really really cute!

And yes, I did look for the other kids too, but there was nothing on sale that was as good of a deal as this! How can you beat $4.75 for jeans?






I LOVE the children's place, they have such cute clothes and great deals!
Now off to work out...blech!

Thrifty Thursdays

Comical Coupon Cents has a new meme up...Thrifty Thursdays. We're supposed to share what we have found for cheap, free, made ourselves etc. I have a couple:

1) I found my eldest two brand new shorts/capris at Value Village for CHEAP. I paid less than $5 a pair. I really like value village. lol I also got my youngest several pairs of shoes at Target for $3.24 a pair. And I found our middle child a pair of capris at WalMart for only $3. I love getting a good bargain.

2) I also got a Scotch Brite tub and tile scrubber for $.50 cents!! This item is normally $14.99 at Target, and was on clearance for $7.48. I had two coupons equalling $7, so I got it for $.48 cents actually. I was really really pleased with that. I also got the Scotch Brite toilet scrubbers for free thanks to coupons!
