Hey there Appleseed Readers! Megs here with a new type of post that I hope to do more of as the year goes on. Every once in a while, I come upon some smashing good deals while deal hunting and want to share. So, here is the very first Thrifty Roundup! This particular trip included a grocery run to the local Albertson's store and a stop at an estate sale. On my way through the store to pick up a few low price items on my "stock up" list, my sister and I stumbled upon the clearance section. We snagged some great deals! Not pictured here are 4 Barbie dolls for my daughter's next Christmas present (including two with full extra outfit sets and one in a Christmas dress). Yes, I will have to hold onto them for about 11 months, but I got 4 fantastic brand new Barbie sets for a grand total of $20! Here are the other highlights from the Albertson's trip:
|
These Larabars were just 25 cents apiece and are not even close to expiration date! |
|
At $1 each, these sets will be great in my daughter's Easter basket in April :) |
|
These fancy cookies will be lovely with coffee and were a steal at $1 per box (also nowhere near expiration date) |
|
At just $1, this box of Bisquick will go quickly (a certain two-year old lovers "Mickey Mouse" pancakes!) |
|
These organic wheat crackers will be a fantastic snack with goat cheese, and the $1.38 per box price was great. |
|
Total savings this trip: $172.46! Woohoo! Shopping the circular, using coupons, and getting clearance deals ROCKS MY SOCKS! |
The second stop on our roundup run was to an estate sale just outside of town. I snagged some AWESOME finds there as well, spending just $50 total for everything I got. Here are the highlights of that run:
|
This Higbee glass vase is a hard to find pattern and a family legacy. These can sell for upwards of $15 each, so it was a great find. |
|
These funky porcelain doggies will keep my books in check! |
|
These copper bookends will save space and provide functionality on my desktop. |
|
I use mason jars for glasses, and now I have a set of four large mugs with handles! A fantastic find! |
|
This super heavy old school metal tape dispenser isn't going anywhere! Love the deco styling. |
|
My favorite by far was this collection of painted birds (and flower). These will look great in my house and I love the soft colors! |
Thanks for joining me on my first Thrifty Roundup!
