    I was at WM over the weekend. For the last year, I've been trying to find 409 cleaning spray and they've always, ALWAYS been out.

    Friday I popped in quickly to get something else, happened down the cleaning aisle and they had it. Then I looked at the price, expecting it to be outrageously priced, (like all the other disinfectant cleaning supplies have been) and it was 79 CENTS!!!

    I bought all 3 bottles they had!!

    That's my bargain!!!

    I'm doing a long-overdue re-organization of my garage. I needed all sorts of garage hanging gadgets, so I went to Menards. It was during their rebate special... I had no idea what it was. The helpful cashier pointed to the bottom portion of my receipt. I'm getting 11% back! Does that count as a bargain? I didn't realize Menards carried so much... stuff. They have a whole section of JR Watkins products.

    I succumbed to another Black Friday special last night: an air fryer/toaster oven, made by Toshiba, for $60. It is on only a few other sites, like Walmart, which had it for $250-$300. I'd kept going back to the ad for a week, and did spend a few days looking around at other models/brands/sites, trying to convince myself that I didn't need to rush to buy this deal - especially since I didn't really need it (my current convection countertop oven is still working okay, although it sometimes seems to not be baking as quickly as it used to) - however, found nothing with all the features/size at anywhere near the price.

    This is a January deal, but I got a great deal on a new chandelier. This will go in my eclectic den/sitting room/game table room I’ve shown here before. It’s meant to be a formal dining room, but we don’t need one. Anyway, after putting together some gifts cards, it cost me $25:

    I found one pair of Hokas today at TJ Maxx. They were 9 1/2 ( I am usually an 8 1/2 or 9) . I tried them on and they were actually pretty comfy.........but they were blue and orange and $79.99. I think if they looked a bit more "normal" I might have bought them. I want to be able to wear sneakers with a little nicer outfit ( like I was wearing today, for when we travel.... still casual but a step up from gym clothes).. These really looked like clown shoes on me and for the price, I just couldn't. But I was excited to see them in TJM. I would have been happy with the ones Jane shared above. These were like medium blue with orange flames. oh well.

    I bought this waterlily shaped candle holder at Salvation Army thrift for 30 cents.



    I bought a pair of Ariat boots for 50 cents at a yard sale. I thought the price had to be wrong....but the woman said that was the price....she was tired of them laying around. I didn't know if they would fit me, but figured I'd give them to someone. They do fit me... I'll take a pic tomorrow. They are in the office in the barn.


    I also got this big cushion for $5 at another yard sale. It has rough out leather on the back.

    No, but am looking for one on a laptop. Need to replace my 11 year old one. The CD player broke a long time ago, not that I need that anymore...but the battery is also dead on it and has been for months. I've looked everywhere for a replacement battery and the computer is just too old. Not even ebay has one.

    The last few days I haven't been able to get on Netflix and after talking to the person there who tried to help me for a half hour or so, I have just decided to buy a new computer. So, anyone who knows of a bargain out there, please let me know.

    Marilyn, I can't comment on the boots, I've never heard of that brand, but for 50 cents you can't go wrong! Love the pillow, and the candle holder is so pretty.

    They are called Fat Baby boots, Rita. They are western boots. Mine have green tops and fake ostrich design in the leather. Will take a pic tomorrow. For 50 cents....not bad and very comfortable.

    Rose.....They have them "here" every year, I just never needed new ones. You can order them online and have them shipped to you. They would make a GREAT Christmas gift, Birthday gift, wedding gift...maybe new house purchase gift? I usually keep a few things around for just such an occasion. Here's a link: The "extra" 25% off coupon or 20% coupon comes and goes...

    Kathsgarden, check out Microcenter. Looks like the closest physical store to you is Cincinnati area (the stores will have great deals on open box and closeouts) but they also ship - choose "shippable items" under choose store.

    I have bought at least 3 computers, there, going back to the 1990s - and my last 2 laptops were open box - I've found their customer service to be very good (haven't had to use it recently)

    I sent DH to our local CVS to sweep the shelves of the boxes of our favorite kindsof Post Great Grains cereals @ $5 for two. These are close to $5 each at our grocery. I wonder how long 20 boxes will last us...

    Is anyone stocking up on paper products? They're supposed to take a big jump up in June.

    I miss thrift shopping. Still not too safe here in FL, tho.

    Got a great deal on FDA authorized K95 masks from this company:

    https://bonafidemasks.com/

    I've already bought from them a few times, and their prices have dropped. Free shipping too. We'll be using masks for some time here where I live, and these are good ones.

    Amazon Warehouse was selling extra dark chocolate Lindor truffles (not past date or anything) , I got 2 sets of 2. When they arrived the 4th box was missing so they gave me a full refund for the 2 box set. I ended up with 180 truffles for $19.

    They are sooooo good.

    I just found n95 Niosh certified masks at Menard's: 20 for $50. Once I factor in the 11% store rebate and the 5% rebate from my CC, the price is $42 for the box - about $2.22 per mask.

    I don't mind the store rebate deal because I get all kinds of house and garden maintenance items regularly there; the CC rebate just becomes a credit on my bill.

    I let my son pick out a computer for me. I showed him one I found on the site Raee pointed me towards. He thought it was overpriced. I don't know anything about them so I just asked his opinion. He picked a fairly cheap Lenovo one on their website and I bought it. Got a discount and another small one for being a nurse. Would've gotten another $100 or maybe just the $100 if I had waited to get their email back but it never seemed to come and my laptop is on it's last leg, so I bought it. As soon as I did the email popped into my inbox. I still got over $70 off so I guess I'm happy. It's already here too, waiting at home for me.

    I should have mentioned it earlier. I am not a shopaholic. Lol We have 2 small orchards at two different country places. Both places also have a lot of grape vines. At our primary property there are hundreds of grape vines that have been left untouched for many years by the previous owners. This is our 1st season here, I hope to have some helpers if we do get a lot of grapes in the fall. So I bought a lot pruners on sale for just in case. :-)

    Bought a new shower surround on FB Marketplace. It's still in the box, hopefully to be installed soon. This one. I paid $650. I'm stoked it has grab bars installed.

    When I try some new-to-us product and we love it, I can bet it will be discontinued in a month. I 'discovered' Ghiardelli Milk Chocolate Fudge Caramel Bars when they were 'on sale' at our local grocery. We bought them regularly until...yup, discontinued! No local stores had them. Amazon had them at ridiculous prices. I thought Ghiardelli had stopped making them. But no! One day I discovered that Ghiardelli had stock and would ship free for a sizeable order. We now have 24 3.5 oz bars @ $2.90/bar -- cheaper than the first 'on sale' bars. I'm also the owner of two chemical cold packs that came with the shipment -- and have already used one on a bruise.

    So...not a HUGE bargain. but definitely *sweet*.
