The Kitchen Table

Any good deals?

8 years ago

I sure got a good deal today. I have needed a new winter coat and looked a few weeks ago at JCPenney, I went back today and found one I liked and fit well. It was originally $200 and on sale for $80. I decided to look on-line and found the coat in a better color and on sale for $34.99, I put in a promo code and ended up getting it for $26.24. I'm picking it up at the store so I'm not paying shipping either. Have you gotten a good deal?

A fabulous set of distressed leather furniture, sofa, loveseat and recliner. Like new they paid $6000 for it and she changed her mind about what she wanted. I am so glad she did because I got it for a steal at $500! They were asking more but after they met us and learned our story they dropped the price. Super nice couple. He went out in his friends boat during Harvey rescuing people. He is a coach. I won a little lottery!

Then At Home stores put my Fleur-de-lis dining room chairs on sale so we hit each store today. We scored 3 of them. 2 for the dining room and one for my bedroom vanity.

One of my neighbors that helped out a lot of people during the cleaning up told me she has some furniture she is giving me. I am getting a double pedestal table with 6 matching chairs in solid cherry. It will go in the kitchen eat in area. Not sure what else she has for me. She has very nice stuff. This really helps since bank of America screwed us out of the money for our contents.

Did you buy it online from Penny’s? Great deal! Walmart has the large size Yankee Candle Autumn Wreath jar candles unmarked for $1.58. I bought the 3 they had.

What?! Large Yankee candles for $1.58? Wow.

ETA: I just visited the Walmart site. The candles are $15.87, is that what you meant to say? either that or you really got a deal before the price went back up.

I was at Walmart today getting an all-metal impact sprinkler and a bulb planter that has an adjustable diameter--nifty. Of course, I couldn't resist looking at the new bags of grass seed. Most of the bags were printed with an appropriate 2012 or 2013 "Sell By" date or "Use By" date, but I saw some bags from Scotts that had a sticker placed over their original "Sell By" dates! When the sticker was peeled off, you could see that printed on the bag itself was a 2011 "Sell By" date, but the sticker covering the bag had a 2012 Sell By date! I don't know if these were last year's seeds or, hopefully, just this year's seeds in last year's bags? Kinda shocked me. The stickers were so plainly visible. Just needed to lift them up in order to see the bag's original hidden Sell By date. My faith in corporate ethics has been forever shattered--LOL. In fairness, I should say that most of the Scotts bags had appropriate 2012 and 2013 Sell-By dates. Only a few bags had the conspicuous stickers covering a date from last year. And again, maybe, those were this year's seeds in last year's bags. Sure hope so.

I don't have any good nurseries near me that I know of -- only a Lowe's and Home Depot. I keep checking Lowe's to see if they're marking anything down but it looks like mostly they're just throwing away and not even bothering to discount anything that isn't an annual which I find odd. I remember a few weeks back they had been trying to sell pricey pots full of arranged perennials that had a mix of summer blooming bulbs like glads, etc...in them. Everything was completely bloomed out and dead-looking and instead of marking them down they had a big hand written sign on the rack that said "YES, THESE ARE PERENNIALS AND WILL COME BACK NEXT YEAR", as if that will entice the average customer to drop that kind of money on a plastic pot full of dying foliage. They had the same sign on a stand of potted Bearded Iris that have been there since Spring and are long-done blooming. I don't think they're ever going to sell if they don't mark them down. Everytime I've been there over the last two weeks during the day they had the garden center gates closed up from the outside during what would normally be prime garden center hours. Just too hot to keep employees out there I guess and so dry that most folks aren't buying landscape plants right now so I know they're not doing much garden center buisness. Danielle

I ordered 2 large clocks a few days ago at Kohls (the same buy one - get one free sale), had a coupon code for 20% off and free shipping... just hope the clocks look good in the spots I've picked for them. If not, I can always take them back for a return at the local store. My computer room is where I hang all my extra pictures. I have 17 in here now and a couple hanging plates. Once I replace one piece of furniture I'll be able to hang a few more. Starting to feel like one of those restauarants where the walls are just full of stuff! lol Your frames will look great... a good deal too!

Yes, I sat on a bench inside of JCPenney's and bought the coat online. That is a great price on Yankee candles!

That is brilliant, jewels_ks!

My own bargain: Today I saved a dollar on a six-pack of this:

It's "an insanely delicious take on Mexican hot chocolate brewed with cocoa, coffee, pasilla peppers, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg." I don't normally care for beers with so much flavoring, they are usually way too sweet -- but this one is just right. Now I'm sad ... the Stone website has a distribution map ... and Xocoveza is available in every state except West Virginia! Oh, no! that's right next door to me -- did they drink all theirs, are they going to come for mine? lol!

I just wrapped a Hanna Anderssen sweater, scarf and cap for our three yr old nephew's birthday next week. I wouldn't have paid the full price for a toddler but ordered at almost 60% off. I bought a 'forest friends' cardigan ($54 marked down to $24.99) too for a baby due any day now...young man who temped for us for a while and he was so nice (and efficient) - first baby and they know its a boy.

Schoolhouse -yes I meant $1.58. I read about it somewhere online a week ago. Here’s a cheat sheet to possibly find one. Do a google search for Walmart Brickseek. Enter the sku number 273565638 and your zip code. A list of area Walmart’s will come up with the in store price and a rough idea of how many are in stock. Also try sku 225615505 for the medium size autumn wreath fur $1.38.
