i ❤ bargain shopping!! goodwheel rocks!

hello friends! thanks so much for checking in with me. how was your weekend? too bad it's almost over. so this afternoon i decided to go shopping. for some reason "goodwheel" was calling my name. that's what my kids call it..lol when they don't find anything they call it "badwheel"! anyway, so i went to akron where they have a goodwill outlet in the back. you can find super cheap deals!! it's crazy there, sometimes you have to fight to get the good stuff. (kory, i know you know what i'm talking about cuz you've experienced this at dollar tree, lol) i found a solid oak shelf for 10 bucks, a white shelf for the wall for a dollar, and a few other misc items. this is the shelf~ with the white shelf i bought hanging  above it. i decided to put some ribbons hanging from it. so 11 bucks for both things.

so then i hit joann's..oh my, they had a bunch of clearance. i picked up a 4 pack of cuttlebug folders for  less than 5 dollars, a decorative corner chomper for another 5, numerous other things for 50 cents to a dollar. then i had to stop at walmart..guess what? found a sugar and spice cricut cartridge for 20 dollars. i've been eyeing that one for a while because it has a sock monkey on it. my son, alex, loves monkeys..ever since he was a tiny fellow he named every monkey he got "tony hawk". so a couple years back he actually met tony hawk and he told him "i have alot of monkeys and i name them all tony hawk"! lol my kids are so funny. back to the bargain shopping..here are the photos..


so, all of this was less than 40 bucks! then the shelves were 11 dollars. i added it all up and i got everything  for 50 dollars. i think that's a darn good deal! so, now i have to stay home for a while. so please don't tell me about any great sales..i take that back..i can always sell some jewelry or something..hee hee  (gotta love craigslist!!)  let me know if you see anything good! thanks for stopping by. leave me a comment and i'll come visit you!

 hugs, hl

  3. In answer to your ?....As you know, CHA is trade only but, I design stamps and demonstrate at shows etc., for stampattack.co.uk so I went with my friend, the owner of the business. Yep! It was mega fantastic... quite an experience.

  4. I LOVE thrift store shopping! There's not a "GoodWheel," close by, but the catholic church has a thrift store I like to shop at and it's WAY cheaper anyway. (like all the kids clothes are .50, no matter what they are!
