Unfortunately we cannot thrift everything so sometimes we have to go to "real" stores, but when you have been thrifting as long as I have is hard to pay retail so the next best thing is a great sale!! My favorite things to shop for is clothes and accessories but I am really cheap so I try to get a deal and everything, so I thought I would include these shopping sprees on my blog too.
Dollar Stores:
Everybody knows about dollar stores, the ones I go to in my area are the Dollar Tree and the 99cent Only Store. We also have the Dollar General and the Family Dollar but not everything is a $1 so sometimes it can be pricey depending on what you're looking for. This weekend I went to the 99cent Only Store for hand soap refills and dish sponges and I ended up finding so much more...
I got seven boxes of crackers these retail for 2 for $4 so this was an awesome deal. I wanted to get more but do I really want that many carbs at my disposal? I also picked up a package of pepperoni, 2 Argon Oil shower gels, a dental soaking cup for my retainer and of course I found some junky jewelry and the hair doughnut that I showed my video.
Total: 19 items for $19.00 +tax
Rue21:
This is one of my very favorite places to get cute and trendy items on the cheap. It is in the same price ranges Forever 21 and Charlotte Russe but I feel that they have better sales. If you're concerned about sizing or if the clothes look "too young" checkout the accessory section for purses, belts, shoes, and jewelry. I even found tights and makeup in the clearance section and some of their perfume is really nice too. It is also a great place to buy gifts if you have teens for both boys and girls.
When I went this weekend I wanted to use my $5 off any $20 purchase coupon and I wanted to get as close to $20 as possible. This time I felt I would get more bang for my buck with clearence jewelry. What do you think? I got 6 pieces for $22.94+ tax
Ross:
So every bargain shopper knows that Ross, Marshall's and TJ Maxx is the place to go for great deals on clothing and things for home but of course this is almost like going to a thrift store because you never know what you're going to find. So we stopped by to take a look and I found a few things ...
The dress was marked down to $6.99 and the tiger sweater was $12.99. My personal spending limit is no more than $10 per item, but my mom said she wanted to treat me, so I broke the rules...LOL
Walmart:
I personally enjoy having eclectic taste and wearing unique things but sometimes you just need a white tank top or a simple black cardigan to go with something and since you are probably going to Walmart anyway something may just catch you're eye and that's exactly what happened with this sweater...
I really didn't want to pay $9.98 but I waited three months for it to go on sale and it never did :( I looked everywhere for a fluorescent pink sweater and I never even saw one) so I had to break down and get it.
What do you think? Did I get a good deals or did I overspend? Let me know and if you are a fellow bargain shopper lets connect because I like to check out your finds too!!
