Have YOU found any bargains or deals lately? Hhhhhmmmmm.........?
Comments (15)Just came back from Joanne's Fabrics. We purchased duck in charcoal grey and black to make seat covers for DH's truck. The fabric was on sale, the Coats & Clark thread was buy 3 get 2 free, then the woman in front of me gave me a $10 off coupon!It ALL came to $45!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have tons of velcro in my sewing stash and several cans of Scotchguard. Beats $550 for Carhartt seat covers! The line to check out was CRAZY! They had 3 cashiers. She got on the mic and said," 17 in line can I get back up?"...See MoreHave you found any bargains or deals lately? :0)
Comments (24)My online art course! I'm taking classes in watercolor painting from Domestika, a company in Spain. They offer a lot of courses in a variety of fields, mostly artistic, and I learned about them when many of their courses were on sale. I added a discount coupon I found online, so the total price of my course was under $10. I didn't want live classes, so this is perfect for me as I can work on it whenever I want. I'm impressed with the structure, the content, and the instructor. The only downside is that the course is in Spanish, and the poorly-translated English subtitles are often confusing. It's also a challenge to watch what the instructor is doing and read the subtitles at the same time. But that's what pause and rewind is for. I'm enjoying the course so much that I've already signed up for another one, also under $10. I have the feeling Domestika puts its courses on sale often--maybe all the time? I really don't know about that, but I can say there's nothing cheesy about them. Even the subtitles have been a positive because they sometimes make me laugh. In the age of Covid I appreciate all such opportunities!...See MoreHave you found any bargains or deals lately? Hhhhmmmm...........?
Comments (22)I found a favorite color of Revlon Color Stay Suede lipstick online at $13 for two tubes. Earlier this year it was 'discontinued' and the only tube online was $26 for one. (Never mind!) This isn't really a 'bargain' but it's still a 'find IMO': Revlon #030 "High Heels", a medium pink. I ordered two other colors at $6 and pennies each. It's a Green Shame (!) that they are three separate deliveries....See MoreHave YOU found any bargains or deals lately? Hhhhhmmmm........
Comments (43)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....See More- 5 years agolast modified: 5 years ago

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoThe Sunbrella fabric I bought last week cost $20 a yard. We refinished some metal bar stools in our patio (four of them), but I only had time to reupholster one of the seats. I'll finish the job when we go back next month for my brother's birthday. The only deal I got on the fabric was what they called a jackpot or bonanza because I bought the end of the roll, and so instead of getting the two yards I ordered, I got 12" more - big deal! However it does give me enough leftover fabric to make some outdoor pillows.
Here's one bar stool, already upholstered:
On the left is my vanity stool and in the middle is another stool with a 25" seat height, which I reupholstered with free silk fabric that I had saved from work. This fabric was leftover from a client's upholstery job and had been abandoned. All three of these pieces are furniture that was left by the previous owner of the house. The metal bar stools were originally black, and we had to do massive work to sand down the old finish, but the stools were otherwise in very good shape and swivel nicely. I'm not sure what the other stool was for - it was left in the office, and since I had this fabric, I though I might as well reupholster it. I have enough of this fabric left over to make at least two good-sized indoor pillows. The silk fabric looks a lot better in person because of the way it catches the light at different angles.
I do find a lot of bargains at Cárdenas Market in Cathedral City. One dozen in-house made tamales cost $15.95 and large avocados were five for $3. They also sell their own guacamole, which is by far the best I've gotten in a store. I assume they use avocados that got ripe before they sold. Pretty much everything in this store is very inexpensive. One day I asked if they had any tomatoes, and they told me no, that tomatoes were too expensive, but I did find some there on Saturday.
