Glad to help! We never have enough shoes. :-) Urn planters cost too much these days, I bought a few from Home Depot earlier this summer they were much more. I just can't pass this bargain deal. :-)

@Jilly...🤣 Baker....an AMAZING chair you purchased! Instant style!

@summersrhythm_z6a....that was an awesome deal on urn planters!

@gsciencechick...WOW! Cute sundress!

@mtnrdredux_gw..that TV stand is an AMAZING redo!

summersrhythm_z6a. Where do you keep all the potted plants in the winter? I wish I had a BJ in my area. I need new pots at the end of my driveway. Mine have seen their better days. Yes, they are getting expensive.

I don't usually shop at cvs but had to pick up a prescription and a tens machine. I had a 30% off purchase coupon, an extra 15.00 coupon by spending a certain amount. I got the tens machine (59.00) a folding cane and new cane tip (40.00) and a huge 15.00 bag of mixed hershey candy and paid 70.00 and still have a 10.00 coupon to use later. The candy will be used to fill decorative jars that Im using for prizes for a family event coming up soon.

functionthenlook, I have near 200 potted plants. During the winter months I store them in an unheated walkout basement and attached insulated garage, pots are on top of each other in 2 layers. I had mice damage last winter in the garage, lost 8 rose trees. Just bought 8 more. Home Depot just marked down their rose trees 50% off.. I need to re-pot some of the rose trees to smaller nursery pots in order to fit them into the new 22" pots. Hopefully I have some free time to do that. Garden pots can be very pricy. Last year I bought a few pots at $9.99 each from HD, this year the same pots are priced at $19.99. It's crazy.

Free:

I had to have it — those little faces. This will be my first attempt to rewire/rehab a lamp. 🤞

I purchased two of these 24” urns from Home Depot for $14.48 each, regularly $59.98 each! They’re nice and heavy too, though not too heavy to move on my own.

Yes! My outdoor chairs are an odd size. The original cushions came from KMart which is now defunct. So trying to find them was almost impossible. Finally came across some cushions that measured closely. Just received them and they fit fine. And I got them from Walmart for $118 each vs. Overstock which wanted $300 each...same manufacturer, color, size, etc. Since I need 5, I'm delighted with them and the price! Woot!

@Sueb20....That's a VERY unusual lamp! Sure to be a conversation piece.

@lovemycorgi z5b SE michigan...24" is a really nice size!

@Annie Deighnaugh...the last patio cushions I purchased were from Walmart. They also had the hard-to-find size I needed. Now, years later.....they came with a 5 year warranty....I'm going to take them apart and sew new ones. I hope you get years of use out of your new find.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Purchased a 1 gallon pot, pink geranium. $3

$14.48 for 24” urn pot!?! What a deal!!! Buy them all, they’d make nice gifts. There is no such deal with 100 miles near here. I just checked. I picked up the last two urn pots from BJ’s this morning, couldn’t help it.

nicole, I thought of sewing a cover of sunbrella fabric for the old ones, but they were really shot. The thought of doing all those cushions with welting was a real put off for me. Doing welting is my idea of a total PITA.

@Annie Deighnaugh.... I was relating to your shopping @ Walmart. The 5 year warranty is long past. I like a LOT of their outdoor cushions and poufs! Who knew Walmart had such cool decor! 😊

Here are Walmart deals for today, good markdowns. https://www.allrecipes.com/affiliate/best-walmart-deals-amazon-prime-day-2022/?utm_medium=browser&utm_source=allrecipes.com&utm_content=20220713&utm_campaign=2267648

I purchased a bouquet of orange daisies for $1 @ Krogers.

beautiful bouquet!

Yes, signed up for a new phone plan at T-Mobile, added my daughter, so we will both be paying less for our phone service but getting international service. With the plan I bought a new phone, which was free with selling back my old phone. I just had to pay the taxes on it, which was around $40. Also got a year of AAA and Netflix for free. My daughter took home, for free, two tumblers and 2 pair of socks from their T-mobile Tuesday "deals".

Just ordered these J Crew flip flops … $14.50.

I live in flip flops in the summer and think the gingham is cute.

Jinx...The gingham is adorable.

Kath...Netflix for FREE is awesome! And...Tuesday deals!

Little French Country Nightstand. $7.50 I painted it with a satin based Behr Marque paint. Spray painted 3"oc bar handles a brushed gold. Viola! ❣️

Love that, nicole!

My Pilates instructor and good friend told me about the deal she found at TJ Maxx on linen tops. I ran down after class the other day and bought 4, 2 tshirts and 2 sleeveless blouses for a grand total of a little over $60. Two are Tahari and one is Nicole Miller & I forgot the other brand but they washed nicely.

Nicole, so pretty! You have mad skills!

Nicole, you are a wonder. Taste plus skills, you need a shop.

@Jilly, @OutsidePlaying, @Zalco/bring back Sophie!...Thank you! I think I'm the "Queen" of cheap! I made a left over can of paint last through another project. 😶‍🌫️

I bought a lot of linen tops from TJ too. They also have Italian linen tops, dresses this season.

I got coffee on sale for $5. Price was $8.99 a can and there were only 2 cans left so I grabbed both. I'm a HUGE coffee drinker.

For my DH, Carhart Carpenter pants @ the thrift store $7❣️50% off coupon @ ACE Hardware, leather work gloves for me $4❣️

Today’s find: 1960’s vintage Pucci bag. $3.99. Was going to sell, might not be able to let it go!

My latest trash (literally, out at the curb for the trash) to treasure finds: a fairly new looking, perfect condition (except for needing a minor cleaning) Chicco stroller, and 2 dining chairs - one needed a screw replaced, both needed a bit of upholstery cleaning. The chairs will go to the furniture bank, along with a vintage drop leaf dining table (also a curb find) once I do a little gluing on one joint. The stroller I may sell cheaply, just enough to fund a repair on something else I have.

I've been on the lookout for plastic storage drawers to store an set of seasonal dishes when not in use. Last week neighbor had an obscene amount of items on curb for trash pick up. Including immaculate 4-drawer Iris brand plastic drawers Online value over $50.00. Or me carrying them 1.5 blocks home to sit in sunshine a few days before washing them!

He has such a sweet smile and I love his ears! The neighbors that are moving asked .50 how could I resist. He is my sponge pig❤️. Heavy terra cotta. Any name suggestions ?

Edited to add DH says call him Smithfield because he’s such a ham….😂

I was searching for vintage Guatemalan horse print fabric and came upon this cute knit purse made in Guatemala … $14 (plus tax). It’s mine now! :)

I have a small Sven leather bag that I love. The leather is so soft. I just received a larger Sven bag, in like-new condition, for $38 from Poshmark. It’s this one but mine is dark brown.

Free from neighbor’s yard sale. Poinsettia is a gift from a neighbor.

The purses and pots are just gorgeous! Great finds!

Last week I found whole chickens for .67lb. Never thought THAT would be such a bargain...but it was! 😁

Nicole - chicken costs more than pork where we live. Fish, shellfish and beef are prohibitive. I don't need much meat but I do enjoy it sometimes...

@seagrass_gw Cape Cod.....Prices are shooting up weekly here. I can't keep track of what is considered a "normal" price for anything any more. I purchased 3 chickens and froze 2. I found hamburger 80% lean for $1.88lb, purchased about 6 lbs....my husband complained he wanted ground chicken...that was $6.99lb!

Free from neighbor’s trash. I’m going to clean the loose paint, repaint, and get a cushion. For our beach house. It’s sturdy, from Pier 1, still had the tag on in the back.

Do you have a store called Black Friday Deals near you? This opened where there used to be our local record store (cry). But it’s a place where they sell returns from Amazon, Target, etc. They’re closed on Thursdays and then open on Fridays with everything $7 with the prices going down daily to 50 cents! Apparently there was a huge line yesterday someone posted. So, I have not checked this out yet. But there is bedding, toys, you name it.

My leopard rug arrived. This is the one that is a "dupe" of Anthro. It took a little over a month to get here from India. With tax and shipping it was $341 total, vs $652 total at Anthro. It arrived on time and in perfect condition. No odor at all and lies flat. You may recall I tried a smaller one in my MBR, so this is a rug I've seen in person before. They are exactly the same in every way...

Very happy with it; its for the girls' apt and they love it too.

Forgot to add the source: https://www.etsy.com/shop/RUGWARRIOR?ref=view_receipt&page=1#items

They have several other styles that I think I've also seen at Anthro or maybe West Elm ...

@gsciencechicks....Never heard of it..looked it up...there's one in Denver. What have U purchased so far?

@mtnrdredux_gw...I checked Anthro...and ...yep...Exact! It's STUNNING! Looks like a high knot count. Lucky you! I book marked Rug Warrior.

Ok now I want the leopard rug too.

@mtnrdredux_gw love it!

Anthro dropped the price on theirs but it is still $100 cheaper from etsy!

No, we haven't gone in the Black Friday deals store. I need to get rid of stuff, not acquire more and I'd really rather avoid being indoors unnecessarily.

Wow mtnredux thanks for the excellent Etsy recommendation! I've favorited that one as well.

Anybody have a source for outdoor furniture?

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.

Gooster - got my DDs an adorable patio set at Home Goods.

Well now, Sue, you're inspiring because I just bought an Overland purse off Poshmark!

@Gooster...Everyone in Colorado shops HERE Click on link They ship.

Thanks mtn, @nicole___ I'll check them out. I should just start my own thread or go to the right forum. We're in mid backyard overall and we added a new back patio, complete with a mechanized louver pergola for better year-round use. .

Bought a Travelon backpack that I had been eyeing at $95 for $35. It was listed on Amazon as ”like new”. It was new, tags still in place. Strangely enough my daughter ended up on our Alaska trip with the same bag I had been considering, so I was able to get a good look at it before buying. Very happy with my purchase.
