We made a haul from the ARC Thrift store, after shopping @ Furniture Row where real wood nightstands can run $1000ea, Omish made. I settled for a pair of these, $15ea. The tops are inlaid burlwood. I'm tempted to paint them, but the burlwood stops me....maybe later...lol



A kitty scratch scroll/hanging feather toy underneath $3.50, movie "RED"(I own RED 2, LOVE this movie) $1.50 and.....a Ryobi hedge trimmer $10!

    Nice find, nicole!

    It looks as though the cat approves too!

    While I haven't commented on all of the finds that have been posted, I have enjoyed reading about all of your deals and bargains. Keep up the good work!

Got two new large fall wreaths with tags marked $50 each for $2 each, 33 pieces of slate for $5, and two new pkgs of Christmas boxes for free.

    I was actually astounded at that, nicole___! But I have another similar story to caflowerluver's: (I may have posted this already) a neighbor put a newish looking dryer at the curb and posted it on the neighborhood FB page that it needed a new heating element. They didn't want to bother with having it fixed (she told me when I messaged her) and just bought a new one. So another neighbor helped me get it home. I bought a new element on Amazon for $25, installed it in less than an hour (the hardest part was getting a couple of screws unscrewed) and now I have replaced my 30 some years old reliable, no frills Whirlpool with this $1000 bells & whistles version. I just hope none of the other electronics fail such that I regret letting that Whirlpool go. Oh, my favorite bargain: a very very good condition, used, soft leather, deep teal (discontinued color) The Sak cross body purse for $10 on Poshmark.

    I meant to share this earlier- it's just a super handy dandy thingy that I found at the Dollar Tree ( so it is now $1.25) I keep my charging cables in here and can always find them easily. I keep it in my purse on a daily basis and when we traveled it was just so handy. All patterns and a few different shapes. Mine is about 2 1/2 or 3 inches square. and open- (it also has a net pocket inside. Gotta love it.

    I get it Funky. What I like about this one is that it is a stretched canvas, no glass, which keeps it simpler. It's going into a small upstairs bedroom that has the original 1910 stained wood beadboard, so I think a poster size print will bring a pop to the walls without needing anything else. We'll see!

    This isn't a new buy, but a new discovery. Years ago I picked up a little back evening purse at a garage or church sale. We go to balls once or twice a year. I know I didn't pay over $5 for it. And never used it till last week. When I opened it up i found it was a purse by Judith Leiber. I couldn't find the exact purse online , but her vintage purse start at $200 and up.

    Purchased a pair of Kirkland & a pair of Wrangler jeans for $5 each. A piece of silk screened fabric for $1.50. I'll make decorative zippered pillow covers out of it. 18" x 18". Then I had 3 $10 off $30 coupons I used to buy 11 new smoke detectors. The cashier gave me $34.97 off instead of $30....? YAY! Then purchased a 42" x 22" granite counter top for $35 @ The Restore. Local granite shops have a $650 minimum to make a counter top. Matches the kitchen island in the next room over. I figure I saved $615!

    I purchased these grey fleece bed sheets, on a Kohl's end-of-the-season clearance last June. WOW! Put them on the bed yesterday and ..... LOVE them! Slept better, no waking up! Kohl's has them on sale!

    I'm intrigued . . . I've never used even a small percentage of polyester in my sheets, and my first thought about the fleece is they would be way too hot. But the reviews are persuasive, as are the posts here. Plus it isn't even winter yet, but I've found I sleep better (in my unheated bedroom) if I keep the electric foot warmer turned on low all night. Maybe if I had these sheets I wouldn't need the warmer.

    Kaths, I have sometimes called and complained when I have gotten a coupon right after a big purchase and the coupon has a short quick turn around. One of my pet peeves.

    Eld6161, I'm okay with it since I sent my e-mail address because they were offering 45% off if you did. The coupon never showed until I bought the first items, which I got at 40% off. When the coupon came I sent an e-mail asking if I could use it for the previous order and they refunded me the 5%. I also used the 45% off for another order.

    Minor bargain, but I am happy. :) Have been lusting for Zoya nail polishes "Briar" and "Etta". But they run $10 each plus shipping, so I decided to wait and see if they have any Black Friday specials. Turns out they do, until 11/30 you get 2 polishes for free, you just pay shipping. So I am getting both for $6.95 instead of $26.95.

    For tomorrow/Black Friday. Most items you can buy online and have a week to pick it up:

    The laser printer we're buying is by Brother. HL-L2320D-US. Available "here" @ Staples for $39.99. Other Black Friday deals: Kohl's has small appliances for $2.41each and an Echo Dot 3rd generation/Alexa speaker......$22.

    desertsteph, yes, the sale is at zoya.com. The discount code is right on the front page. And they do show the colors and names, just click on the "nail polish" link on the top of the page. They have 400 colors, I am glad I already knew what I wanted. :)

    thx kadefol. I've been wanting to get new polish. I've thrown out all of my old stuff - I know it was more than 10 yrs old! but I haven't gotten out to look for new in the colors I like. I'll take another look on that site - I just scanned on the page and missed seeing those. so much on it to take in!

    kadefol - the code shows up when I use the link in your post above. it doesn't on their site when I use google to find them. I'll probably order 2 tomorrow. I'm not sure about the colors just seeing them online but 1 of the 2 should be fine and if one isn't what I like i'll give it to my sister. she changes colors all of the time!

    Desertsteph, that's weird, their official website is zoya.com
    and the code should display on their site regardless where you access
    from.

    I usually google swatches of whichever nail polish color I am
    interested in. Quite a few nail polish blogs have photos of various
    polishes in natural light, indoors, etc. so you get a better idea what
    it looks like.

    We still plan on eating @ noon, then going to Office Depot, they have BIG packages of Duracell batteries, you get the FULL price back in points to spend in the store. JCP @ 2pm gives away $10-$500 off coupons. DH's coworkers go. It's the only time we see their whole family, catch up. It's fun!

    Walmart was offering an Apple Watch Series 3 for $129. I knew it would be hard to get last night, but I never even saw the price drop from $199 to $129. Then I looked at Target for the watch at $169. Its not available at my local store, its available across town, but you are unable to order it online in silver, but you can in black....grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    Not too glamorous, but.... I got insulation to add to my attic (R-25, unfaced, 18 foot long rolls which is the perfect length!) not only on sale, but with a rebate that brings the cost down to $5 per roll!! So the entire attic will have the insulation increased by about 40% for only $65. This store (Menard's) also had fleece lined tights for $2, , slouch knit hats and Sherpa lined slipper socks for $4, and 1 quart glass storage jars with lids for $0.99 (after rebate).

    Also I got a new pair of $135 running shoes for $49 - last years model, in an ugly color, but I don't care about that!

    Not really a purchase but a service. Just found out the extremely reasonable quote for installing a filtration system includes the labor and material to extend the new line to the kitchen for a pot filler and the fridge. I thought we would have to hire a separate plumber to finish the job so I am a happy camper.

    I wore my new JC Penney leggings. $3.74 They're still on sale, see link...if YOU would like to order a few. I also purchased a long cowl neck shirt to wear with them. $11.10 Also a GREAT fit! My hubby got the men's Puffer vest & the insulated gloves


    We had several $10 off coupons......which helped the prices! Almost free!

    From JC Penney on Cyber Monday I got flannel sheets and a toy for one of my grandsons. Later that evening I went to Target.com to see if No 7 Lift & Luminate night cream was on sale. It wasn't much of a sale, so I skipped that face cream but ordered two others: Ceravé Skin Renewing Night Cream, which I like a lot, and a pinkish-tinted Neutrogena that I haven't tried. I also got this blanket on Target's website for $24.

    Gonna go check out your links, Nicole, now that you got me a printer. :-)

    Here's a "do-not-bother" buying warning. I purchased this "real" diamond ring @ JC Penny's and the rhodium plating is starting to come off in just a few days. It was a Black Friday deal for $20. You get what you pay for ....in this case! I'll try to return it.

    Hubby was checking out our local FB buy/sell page and came across a Zojirushi bread machine listed at $50. This particular model is $300+ new. I've always wanted to play around with a bread machine so we contacted the seller and bought it. It looks like it has never been used. I'm a happy camper and if I decide a bread machine isn't my thing I doubt I'll have any trouble selling it.

    I don't understand why people don't use their bread machine. I am on my 2nd one and both were preowned. You could of fooled me that they were ever used. I mostly mix dough in mine. I like to make brown and serve rolls and freeze them. I also use it to make cinnamon roll dough.

    Me either, functionthenlook. The woman who sold it said she didn't use it because she is a "from scratch baker" and had no use for it. I took that to mean there may be a school of thought out there that bread made in a bread machine doesn't count as homemade.

    I like to bake things like pita bread, English muffins, pizza dough, dinner rolls and hamburger buns. Looking into the future, I see the machine as being a huge time saver when it comes to mixing, kneading and proofing the dough for me.

    My first loaf is rising and it's looking pretty good!
