The Kitchen Table

My Bargains for Today

17 years ago

We finally got home from our grocery shopping. We didn't get an early start and Amber had a few places she wanted to go. We had a good take out lunch from Bob Evans.

Choice Beef Chuck Eye Roast (boneless) $1.74 a pound

Choice Beef Round Eye Round Roast (boneless) $2.23 a pound

Strawberries $.98 a pound

English Walnuts pieces $3.99 a pound

Sweet Potatoes $.50 a pound

Gold Medal Flour 5 # bag $1.99

Freshlike frozen vegetables were $.89 a pound package

Milk was still $1.97 a gallon all varieties except chocolate

I missed my call from my art teacher. She just wanted to check in with me as she is back from Panama! May talk with her later.

How has everyone else's day gone and have you any bargains for this week?

I used to get bargains like that back home in Texas, but not where we live now. Lucky you!! I won something on the radio this morning! I was hoping they'd be Jonas Brothers concert tickets for my DD, but hey, I still got a free gift. Some kind of Glade candle stuff, gift card to Burger King and something I couldn't quite understand what they said was. I'll know when I go pick it up on Monday.

I checked the "is it a real Kate Spade" link This is what it said about the made in what country tag on the inside. "Until 2002, the China label simply looked like the little made in Taiwan label " I checked and it does...and the embossed stamp on the outside looks the same...Soooooo....now I'm wanting it even more...LOL...but that's okay....My kids are worth it. patti

It was back this summer, not recently, but I found a great, great buy on a quilting frame and light for the quilting frame. It was still in the shipping box, and so was the light. The frame had been opened but taped back, but the light had not..I took a chance and hauled it home for 15.00. The sales lady said she was glad to get it out of the store as it had been in there over a year. I frequent that S.A. so don't know why I haven't seen it. Everything was in the box, including set up instructions and a booklet on how to start your quilt. My husband put the quilting frame together for me and I was estatic. They obviously did not know what they had, or people just do not want to quilt anymore. It was a Grace Z44 quilting frame. Yippee for me! Someones trash---my treasure! Many years of pleasure!!

Good to know, Maire. I couldn't tell the difference when I bought one for Lizzie last year. I had bought down for me and for my DS and DIL, but they were out of stock when I wanted to get one for Liz. What did we ever do without online reviews? It's always fun to buy something that a slew of people have raved about.

Your chairs are such a great deal! And so good looking too. :) I saw this thread when it first started and went on the site, couldn't resist and bid on some stuff and actually won a marble topped table for a steal! I just picked it up today and I love my new table!! :) Thank you! (My husband is horrified I have a new source though LOL) Just a tip, if you are a new customer you can use NEWEMAIL20 to get $20 off your order.

Aren't bargains great. I also picked up two packages of Mama Rosa's fresh pizzas and gave them to my daughter, Amber. There were two in a package and they had them for $3.59 a package. They were nice sized pizzas. I think they were sausage pepperoni ones. Congrats on winning something on the radio show this morning. I haven't won anything that I can think of in a long time. Once when I was shopping in a drug store, I entered all four of our children in a contest they had. The oldest daughter, Cheryl won a thousand dollars!

I am glad you got some good deals at abe books, Wanda. I get all my used books at rummage sales. I hope I can find time to read them. I fall asleep to easily to read at night.

Lets see-
CVS has Softsoap Body Wash for $4.99, I had a $1 coupon plus got back $4.99 in Extra Care Bucks for its better than free!!!.

Walgreens has Chapstick Naturals and Chapstick Shimmers for $2 and you get back $2 in register rewards coupons when you buy one so they are free (register rewards are coupons good on any purchase). Came back in and used it on a gallon of milk that was $2.99 before the coupon.

Publix has a new display with Spongebob items. I debated on buying the wallet as a stocking stuffer for DD. Decided to by it for $5.99, but it rang up as $6.99 so they gave it to me for free! They have a policy-if you are overcharged the item is free!!

Stopped in Kmart today. Found some bras clearanced to $1.99. Sport bras were in 2 pks for $1.99. I spent $22 on 6 bras for me, 4 bras for DD, a tee shirt ($1.99), 2 exercise type shirts ($1.99 each), a pkg of Duracell batteries, and a bag of Dubble Bubble gum.

Bought a "gift card" for CUB foods today. $300 card and they add $30 onto it so you get $330 credit for $300. Considering what the stock market and bank accounts pay, 10% return is pretty good. And face it, even I can go through $300 worth of groceries in a reasonable amount of time. Plus I put it on Discover so I'll get the cashback bonus on top of it.

A Pendleton store opened in my area yesterday. Yoo Hoo!
I went and got 1 spring jacket, 2 sweaters and 1 blouse. All for $129. A good deal if you have ever shopped Pendelton. My niece got a job there too, so in couple weeks when her probation is up, I can get another 30% off. (nothing shady, she can extend to relatives...yea for me!)
