A Deal of a Weekend.

I love "saving" money. I CANNOT resist a clearance rack, a sale, a discount, craigslist! Brett jokes that I am going to SAVE us to the poorhouse.

Well, I am so excited about my deal at Target on Friday. They have a great clearance on crayola markers and a few of the color wonder items too!

This is what I got:
5 packs of Crayola WASHABLE Bold Markers. Reg Price $2.84. I paid $.71.
3 packs of Colorwonder 1-15 page notebook with 3 colorwonder crayons in each! Reg Price $4.99. I paid $1.24. These are great on-the-go items because they can only mark on the paper.
1 pack True Life Markers. Reg Price $4.29. I paid $1.07.

Basically I got $33.37 in art supplies for $8.34 plus tax. Since my little artist in residence is loving some markers, I thought we could use the extras at this price.

Friday night, I went to our Moms Club First Birthday Celebration. I won a cute diaper bag and an Annual Family Membership to the Children's Museum of the Lowcountry at a Silent Auction. If you have not been to this museum you MUST go. It is so much fun. I went when Cannon was much younger and have been planning to go back. I have a feeling we will be visiting a lot now!!!

On Saturday, I went to a consignment sale. To be honest, it was EXTREMELY disappointing. Most items were overpriced!

But this is what I got:
1 GAP Jacket for $3.00--An awesome lightweight tan jacket for next Spring.
2 Children's Place Polo Shirts $1/$2
1 Hip tshirt $1.00
5 Books $7 (2 of these have music/sound)

Then I went to pick up a Little Tykes TURTLE sandbox from a lady on Craigslist. I have been looking for one for Cannon and I have not been able to find them in the stores. Online it costs $39.95 PLUS $25.00 shipping! I paid $10!!!

While I was there she was discussing all the things she needed to put online and I asked if she had more outdoor stuff. She did! She had this Step 2 Push Around Buggy. I gave her $10 for it! Yippee!! I almost bought it from another person last week for $20 but they sold it because I could not get over there quick enough!

Well, I am proud of my bargains. I SAVED so much! Brett would say, I would have saved more if I had stayed home!
