My DI Scores

I have been finding all sorts of goodies lately and keep forgetting to post. So here are some of my finds from a few separate trips.

Vase $1.00 and Greenery $2.00

fruit stand $2.00

Set of 2 candlesticks $2.25, Yellow wax ball .50, greenery .50. Plus I scored the easel and large plate w/ quote at a yard sale for $2.00, and the tall lantern at a yard sale for $3.00.

He is gonna be so cute when he is spray painted.

The look on people's faces as they see my cart full of goodies check out....PRICELESS!!!

American Fork D.I. Goodies!

Okay, this is the first time I've been to the American Fork D.I. and I think it may be as good as Layton!  We need to plan a back-to-school sisters shopping trip!

I was specifically looking for terra cotta pots to spraypaint for my s'mores bar.  But then I found LIME GREEN GOODIES that don't even need to be spraypainted!

I'm going to put the BBQ skewers in the metal bucket, then hot
charcoal briquettes go into the ceramic pots, and your guests
each roast a marshmallow perfectly over the hot coals with the
skewers.  Rectangular pot was a buck, the rest were 75 cents each!

SCHOOL SHOPPING IN JUNE!!!!  Three pairs of size 10 jeans
for Brig and one pair of 16 slim for Truman: $4 each.  The shorts for Brig were $3.

I have a pet carrier obsession.  But I am in constant need of cages/
carriers to move around my chickens and rabbits. This is the perfect 
size in which to haul my prize-winning chickens to the fair.  It was
 eight bucks.

New Vans for brig: $4, New basketball shoes for Truman: $5,
New Blowfish winter dress boots for me? $8

This was $2, which isn't a great deal, but I needed
this book for book club, so I was happy to find it!

Heavy glass pitcher!!! $1.50

I gave World Grand Prix to my boys and am saving
Jeopardy for Allen's birthday next month.  Both N64
games were $3 each.

Logan D.I.: Becca, Ali, & Katie!

Brunettes in Logan!

Girls' bike with a basket (exactly what she's been
asking for) $8!

$3 apiece!

Fifty Cents each!

One dolla, two dolla, fifty cent

Katie spotted these shoes for Calvin!  $2

I took these clothes off all the stuffed animals for Mollie's
Groovy Girls.  $.50 each

"We found a babby, Grandfatha!"  You guys remember that movie?
Bonnie, it reminds me of you!  $.50 each

Cute tote with NYC subway station stops! $2

Easter Goodies!!!!

I love the D.I.  This is the first time in quite a while I have bought new clothes specifically for Easter for anyone in my family.  And I scored big time!

Allen's Mom made Mollie the cutest Easter dress ever!  I love blue for Easter!  She also bought yellow shoes and is sending them in the mail, so I decided to stick with the blue and yellow theme for everyone.

Mollie's sweet Easter dress from Nana.  With a yellow
flower clip and yellow shoes!

 I got four different 100% silk ties so I can dye Easter eggs with them, like in this picture:

I've never done it before, but it looks pretty easy.  Here is a link for everyone with step-by-step instructions.

4 silk ties, $1 each

Truman has outgrown size 14!!!  He has been high-watering in his
size 14 jeans since January, so I bought him two pairs of size 16s
One for $4 and one for $6.  Wretched giant.  He is 5'4" right now.

New Monument-brand Sunday slacks for Truman
(belt included) $6, Aeropostale dress shirt: $3,
Ralph Lauren tie: $2 (I made Allen tie it for this
picture :)--I should really learn how to do a
Windsor  knot some day)

Dress shirt for Brig: $4, clip on tie: $1
Dress shirt for Calvin: $3, clip-on tie: $1

I saved the best for last!!!  I have been wanting a
goldenrod cardigan forever and I finally found one!!!
A steal at $5.  Then I got a fitted white peasant top
for $3 and that ADORBS blue skirt for $5
$13 for a new Easter Sunday outfit!

I just hope I can take in the skirt successfully.  It's a size 22W--I have it folded in half in this picture :).  But it should be an easy straight seam to fix it.  I hope.

....Be excited!!

I can't even believe we found this!!!!!

Its a game called Catapults and Cannons (I am pretty sure that's what it was!)

Eli looked it up on Ebay and the game and the extension is $120!!!

We just happen to have both of those, all the pieces, and in perfect condition!

We looked up the rules online and you measure out 50 inches between each castle and set up all you guys and weapons. The object of the game is to knock all of the opponents pieces over! 

There are a few more details and rules as well!

You will NEVER guess how much ALL of this was.....

$3!!!!!!!!!!!! I know, RIGHT!?

Anyways, me and Eli set it up and while I was making lunch I walked in and saw him shooting the discs in the cannons. He asked me if I would play with him. :) You better believe I did! 

I know you're alllll going to be jel of this!

I saw this owl cookie chair for $15 and couldn't get myself to do it.

I went in about a week later and saw it marked down to $10!

Eli was very excited about this King James version of the Bible for only $5.

It has places in front to write genealogy, births, marriage etc.

TOTES SCORE!

Christmas Presents + Goodies

I used last weekend's trip to Iona to hit up all three D.I.'s in the Snake River Plain: Pocatello, Idaho Falls, and Rexburg.  And I am feeling much less panicked about Christmas than I did before.  We are going to be READY.  

First I will share the "every-day" goodies.

The coolest puzzle EVER.  Did you ever wonder who the heck
would buy a puzzle at the D.I.?  I did.  But now I'm one of those
crazy fools.  I had so much fun putting this puzzle together with
my sweet sisters, Ali and Katie.  Brunettes unite!  Also, this
gem was only ONE DOLLAR!!!!

Famous potatoes--
but with the cutest retro illustrations you've ever seen.
Also, is anyone else confused by the turkey and mountain goat
on Nevada?  Where are the gamblers and slot machines?

What is that cow doing?

District of Mackenzie?  Wha???  Yeah, the Northwest Territories
was called that, way back when . . . 

Scout shirt for Brigham: $6

I couldn't resist this cute top for Calvin: $2

Allen bought this puzzle so he and Mollie could
work on it together.  $2

Lucky girl to have such a fun Daddy.

Twenty-five brand-new boxes of chalk for $3?
Yes, please. Katie found this for me, and I will give a
box to whoever wants one)

Never pass up the good Tupperware, peeps.  $1.

My favorite IF cashier only charged me $.25 apiece for these books,
even though they are all marked different prices.

Along with the North America puzzle, these were
my best finds: 3 unabridged audiobooks of "The Great
Brain" on cassette.  $1 apiece.  Truman and I totally
listened to one on the way home.  It's not so bad
having a cassette deck in your 1996 Golden Eagle . . .

Shoes for Calvin: $2 apiece

One of Allen's finds: $2

$1 mittens for Calvin

Also never pass up milk crates, peeps.  I use them for EVERYTHING
This one is an extra large and it was only $1!  I usually pay $3 for these.

Two pairs of size FOURTEEN pants for Truman,
who is high-watering all his size 12's.  One was $3
and one was $5.  Sweets Steals.

Glass turkey "lantern": $.75.  Fall pumpkin: $1 (last year)
Having cute Thanksgiving stuff to display with my holiday books?
Priceless . . . 

And now for the Christmas gifts.  I already got Truman and Brigham some stuff in this post, so I am feeling pretty good about how many presents I have right now.  It's so nice to feel prepared.

Brigham goes crazy about swim shirts ($2)  I'm wrapping this up
for Christmas for him to use on our Disney Cruise.

Size 14 shorts for Truman, also for the cruise. $2 and $3.

I'll spray it with Lysol, okay?  Fox for Mollie: $1

{Because clothing is a lame Christmas gift.}
3 sweet Gamecube games for $3 each.

I didn't even know there was a "Beyond Spiderwick
Chronicles" series.  The Spiderwick Chronicles are
Truman's favorite books, so I know he'll be excited
to get this on Christmas morning.

Microphone for my megaphone, Brigham.  $1
