Right place, right time

When it comes to finding bargains and sales, Pam and Janet have me beat. I always seem to be in the wrong place and miss out. But not this week! I visited Michael's again and stocked up on the $1.99 yarn sale...............

 I can't show you what I'm doing with all of this lusciousness until after Christmas.
This morning while grocery shopping at Walmart, I barely heard an announcement of some sale in electronics. I continued on until I was almost through before I went to see what was on sale. TV's for $115! All sizes from 60" and smaller! I got in line with five people in front of me. The lady in front of me decided to get out of line and I was glad she did. Because she left, I was able to get the last 42" TV for $115! This is going in my bedroom where I sit and crochet!

Happy dance!

Hot weather is here!

It has finally hit 90 degrees here in SC! I heard the weatherman say this morning that it has been 8 months since we hit 90 degrees! Although it is hot, the sunshine is beautiful and the boys finally got to go swimming yesterday and are going to go after ball practice this afternoon,

My son gave me this hibiscus for Mother's Day..

Micki and the boys went with me yard saling yesterday. Plenty of yard sales, but I am not looking for baby stuff! Seems that's all anyone is selling this year! I have been looking for a nice bed, but haven't found one yet. This year is all about reading and books for me. I found a "few" books by my favorite author, Debbie Macomber....

Just a few  :-)  I found a radio for $2 and another trinket box..

Have you been watching Extreme Couponer's on TLC? While I think it is crazy to buy 100 deoderants or 50 toothpaste, they do give some good tips. Bilo and Harris-Teeter were having good sales this week. Along with the buy-one-get-one items, Harris Teeter had 'buy 2, get 3 free' on Pepsi products and potato chips. So, Janet, Micki, and I went to stock up for the 4th cookout, baseball party, and the rest of the summer.

This was the first time that I actually saved some money using coupons! I  saved $64.67 at Bilo and $83.46 at Harris Teeter!

We are going to start scouring the sales papers more closely and save together. Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I seem to have developed "bloggers-block" . For some reason I am not interested about checking the blogs. Have any of you had this problem? I'll be glad when I get my 'mojo' back! Until then, please don't forget me, because I will not forget you. Have a great week!

After Christmas Sales..

 Hope everyone has had a Happy New Year so far! I've been sick with a head cold, but I'm still alive! Have you been to any after Christmas sales? You can really get some good bargains! I found a pink Christmas tree for 50% off ..

I stumbled across a shop that had different vendors. I was in heaven! I will definitely go back to this shop for gifts! I love this penguin that I found there for 50% off..

At Books-a-Million, I got this cute snowman and Christmas hamster for 50% off...

I wanted some ice blue ornaments for my white Christmas tree and found some at Wal-Mart yesterday for 75% off!! That's 25 cents per container!

I also got some brown ornaments for 75% off ($1.25 each box)!

Hope you found some great bargains!
