A Weekend of Incredible Deals

Items we purchased over the weekend:

Incredible Deals:
  • Pine entry-way table in primo condition found at a rummage sale for $10.
  • A hardly-worn, yet lovely skirt bought at Goodwill for $3.70.
  • Two simple, clean, brand-new-looking vases bought at Goodwill for 99 cents each.
  • A Stafford brand blue silk tie for Blake on clearance at JC Penny's for $4.77.
Other Deals Which Were Good, Though Perhaps Not Incredible:
  • Badly needed tennis shoes for Blake ($25, regularly $40)
  • A shirt for Lindsay to wear with her new skirt ($15, regularly $30)
  • Basketball shorts for Blake (so we can exercise together) ($10, regularly $20)
  • Bird feeder and bird seed ($4.77, and 94 cents)
  • Garden supplies, including tools, pots, dirt, plants, tomato cages (approx. $20)
It's weekends of Incredible and Good Deals like this that make me feel like I can find anything for a decent price if I only look hard enough. And that's a good feeling.
