I posted this on the last deals thread, but the thread was at the end of it's life so posting gain.

I had coupon from our local market for a free large take and bake pizza (pepperoni, sausage and olive - reg price $10) and a free bagged salad kit (mixed greens, carrots, radishes, almonds and smoked bacon - reg price $4.99).

I had mushrooms in the fridge which I sliced, dehydrated in the micro and added to the pizza. There were also cherry tomatoes and a cucumber in the fridge and they were put in the salad. The pizza was too big for just the two of us so it was cut in half; one half to bake immediately and the other to have a few days later.

We were pleasantly surprised at how delicious the pizza was - take and bakes vary in quality, but the crust was right there with some of the better pizza places we've been.

Any way, the pizza and salad made us two dinners and leftovers for breakfast, lunch and snacks for free!

Great deals, Nicole and MamaP!

Nicole, I got so excited, I took off to Home Depot. No sheets or free plants at ours. Even the literally dead plants were $2.50. Bummed. Great find for you though! Oh, and Mama.....that's hilarious!!

Does baskets of green tomatoes count? My friend gave them to me. I am running out of jars as I give away some of whatever I can. I am making relish using my last 6 pint jars.

I had a 3-D mammogram this morning, completely covered by my Medicare insurance. That seemed like a great deal, to me!

That’s hilarious, mama pinky. I’ll take some ;) I don’t can either but i got 12 for $3 at a sale once. they are Mason and since I don’t can I use them as cups.

Someone posted here in the spring about needing to buy a new spiralizer and that Amazon had the best brand on sale. I knew my DIL wants one. It was part of her birthday present from us in July. DS just sent us a telephone video of her spiralizing a butternut squash for a dish she was preparing. I was impressed with how well it worked. Thanks for the suggestions.

Another time, years ago, someone posted that Cuisinart ice cream makers were on sale on Amazon for $8 each. I bought quite a few for Christmas presents, and had an extra one because I needed to spend $8 more and shipping would be free. A week later son called asking me if I thought his sister would like an ice cream maker as he was thinking of buying her one. He's my foodie. So I told him he could buy one from me for $8 and take home the free one too. He is always making ice cream with it.

Well I got several nice big pumpkins at Aldi for $1.99 each. I got a brand new element monitor from one of my garden club ladies for free she did not want it.

I posted on the last deals thread about buying a gas heater that needed the logs replaced. Well, my nephew used to work where the stove was made so he was able to get the logs and a remote for 1/2 of what I would have paid. Now, if only I could get a gas line and tank installed at a good price. Waiting on a 3rd estimate.

Wow, everybody! Good going! Wish I had something to share.

How about pomegranates at Aldis for 59 cents apiece?

Congratulations on the great deals, Nicole, and rescuing the plant! Our Home Depot doesn't have deals like that on plants, but Lowe's does. I got a truck load of Japanese painted ferns one time, for pennies. They looked horrible, but I set them in the shade and the following spring they were gorgeous. I took them to a plant swap and they were a huge hit.

Marilyn, that reminds me.....these seeds are good until 12/18. .10 cents ea. I thought I'd give them out at the monthly crafts club meeting I belong to. Some are perennials: Purple Cone flower, Double Hollyhocks, Catmint, chives....

Our local Kroger store has Free Friday deals and weekend deals. I got some Uncle Ben's rice and some Chorizo free. I got Red Baron pizzas and some all beef hotdogs for $1.99 each. I also bought some pork chops that were BOGO and a pork loin for $1.49lb. I spent $32 and saved $38. The other day I bought my son some shorts on Old Navy, they were on clearance plus an additional 30% off so I ended up getting them for around $9.00 each.

I walked and rode a horse for the first time ever (I'm 69) and stayed overnight at a small horse ranch in exchange for spreading gravel and building 3 raised garden beds. My DH & I also took the owner of the ranch and her sister-in-law out to dinner, but that was our choice. It was an amazing experience.

That is so neat, Dragonwings!!

Albertson's here just started curbside pickup and sent a $15 off coupon to try it out. I don't need curbside but I did it anyway to use the coupon. Then they gave me a $10 coupon for next curbside pickup, and emailed another $15 off one. Fingers crossed that I can use both of those on my next order.

I scored again. I got a very cute excellent condition red leather Perlina of New York purse. I also got a really big gray leather Steve Madden tote purse. Each one was $6.99.

Also got 2 cute tops on clearance sale. And a Fleur-de-lis Christmas tree skirt for $5.

Needed a new vacuum. The shark vacuum was $149 on Amazon . I didn't buy it because I wanted to do more research and check out other sites prices. The next day I went on Amazon to buy it and it was $121 so I bought it. A day later it was back at $149.

Wow that was meant to be! I love my Shark.

I purchased this last night, used off CL. DH hooked it up today in the garage to see if it actually works. Yes....it does! Dh & I will install it tomorrow. It weighs 273lbs! What a beast! The digital readout touch panel flips to a solid SS panel. It's pretty tricked out!

Nice oven Nicole! Wolf makes a quality product. Someone on nextdoor has a fabulous Wolf cooktop that I would love to have to replace the one I have. Unfortunately it's much larger than the one I have. It looks like a new one. I just don't have the space to accommodate it. If you were closer you could snatch it up.

Raven....I would LOVE to snatch a Wolf and install it for you! This same lady had a whole kitchen full of Wolf she was selling. She's building a custom home & is trying to scrounge a little more cash out of her old home. :0) Luckily "this" house already had a 6 burner Wolf stove top. It's not the pro line, which is much better.....but I can live with it. I'm shopping for a Wolf exhaust hood. Found one I want....used...in California....but he refuses to ship it. I called a ton of companies in LA and came up empty handed. It has a little bitty dent in it...I might just pass and buy a new no name hood.

I could have easily done it in my other house I had so much counter space. Unfortunately this is a smaller kitchen and the counter space is very limited. The wolf is a lot wider than the current cooktop. Have you checked with restaurant suppliers? They sometimes have some good deals on the scratch and dents. I was very surprised to find a wolf stove at the Sears outlet. Incredible price and I couldn't find the dent. There was an entire wolf kitchen at the habitat restore store once. It was well used and in serious need of a deep cleaning. But it could have been a jewel.

yes.....I called restaurant suppliers in Denver. I was willing to make the drive.....in the industrial area I find all kinds of cool kitchen items for my remodels. But.....nothing right now. It's hit or miss. Yes, LOVE The Restore! Just nothing right now and I need the hood ASAP. The range is 36"x24"....Zline makes a really nice hood with SS baffles. Give away price too I asked the seller to post photos of the damage...or I'd have already hit "buy"!

There's a window opening in one of the stalls of our old barn. Its great during the summer to allow a breeze through. but now as it is heading towards winter, the lady whose horses are using that barn wants a window. I checked at Lowes for plexiglass, and was surprised at how expensive it was. However they had one 3 foot by 6 foot piece that had a crack at one end that was marked down from $74 to $1

Went to a Red Line Liquidators about 10 minutes away. They were having a 50% off sale on home goods. I found bed quilts that I had my eye on at Target...not a great brand**Fieldcrest** but they were linen with cotton fill for an amazing price of 8 dollars each. They are super nice and heck a cheap poly blanket from Family Dollar costs more. I took them home gave them a super long hot wash and they are really nice. These were new in the package not used quilts. Red Line doesn't sell used stuff.

Some savvy shoppers here!

Functionthenlook, did you see the post about Sharks being on sale at Costco?

Bluebell66, no I didn't. It would not of helped anyway I don't belong to Costco. Thank you for the info though. What I wish I could of done was go to a Sears or somewhere like it to try vacuums out. Nobody does that anymore. That is a thing that is long gone.

If you go to an actual vacuum cleaner store you can still try out all the brands they carry.

They only carry their brand. We only have an orick by us and I know I didn't want one of them. I do like the shark I got. I'm a one stop shopping kind of gal.

Today I did a little shopping. I bought 1 wick candles at Bath and Body Works for $4.95 each and then went to Old Navy where I had a code for 50% off of everything.

you all sure get some bargains! I don't run into many at W, Walgreens or the local grocery. I have noticed prices going up at W and Walgreens has a cell phone with actual buttons on it. I plan to go back and check that out.

I do want to check out the local Sprouts, Homegoods and GW soon - now that it's cooler outside I can get out more.

Had a JCP $10 off coupon. So this "North Pole Trading Company" grey fringed throw was $2.99! It comes in other colors and prints. Link
