Half Price Monday!

My local thrift store has half priced Modays! I went a few years ago and was traumatized because of the lack of parking (I am not too good with parking, in general) and the crazy amount of people.

Today I told myself that I am going to go and just have fun while searching. I had a blast and only spent $16.46!

I bought-
-2 t-shirts (love comfy tees!)
-2 workout shirt (the kind that keep sweat off your body and cost a good amount of money)
-scrapbook kit ( it is opened but it still has paper and an unused, cute book!)
-Combo espresso/coffee maker by delongi

The espresso/coffee combo was such an awesome purchase. It came with all the parts but was a little dusty. I was nervous that it wasn't going to turn on but when I got home it worked PERFECTLY!! YES! I have been looking for a cheap one for when I move out for a looooonnnnggg time!

Oh yes and I only paid $6.56 for it. It sells on ebay for at least $50!

I love saving money.

Anyone else have any good buys lately?

Sale! Clearance! 50% off

I admit it... I cannot stay away from a good sale. The minute I see a 50% off or a clearance sign I am there! I just hate to pay full price for anything. While it takes more time to search through the clearance aisles, I just love finding a good deal.

Today I ventured to hobby lobby (who doesn't love that store?). They were have a HUGE clearance on 'home accents'. I could have bought everything but I just three things.

Items 1&2
I bought these 2 vases. No engagement yet for me, but we have talked and planned it so I bought them. Thought they would be perfect for the shower or near the guest book.


Item 3
I bought I plaque (gold-ish in color) with a bible verse. It will be great in my one day apartment.

Speaking of sales- Sign up for Michaels emails. They send a 40% off or 50% off coupons almost every week!


I am searching for a new apron (cheap, too!).
I found one at Home Good but I am looking for another.

Any ideas of where to get one??
