Have YOU found any bargains or deals? January edition

My husband loves sheepskin house slippers and started reading reviews on sheepskin mens boots. At first he found a pair of slippers he was going to order from LL Bean for $100...then I said hold on...let me look around @ the end-of-the-season-sales. He ended up getting two pairs of Bear Paw sheepskin slippers and a pair of boots for about the same price. $30ea (they have a $5 off coupon online) from Big 5 Sporting Goods.....then boots. $40. Yes. Real sheepskin.

    My Keen hiking boots have many miles on them and started to give out on our last trip to the mountains. I like the brand a lot and wanted to replace my old Keens with a similar style. Found these on the big A for less than $80, while the regular price is around twice that much. I suspect this is a discontinued color but I don't care about that. For anyone in need of good hikers, this may be worth a look.

    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!

    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.

    Found this antique toy dresser at the GW today. $5.99. Looked it up when I got home--it was made by J.Bubb in London, early 19th century. Found one that sold a few years ago for $225, but it was missing all the escutcheons and 1 pull. Mine is in excellent condition, all hardware intact and with the maker's mark. I can't believe this beautiful toy is almost 200 years old!

    Nicole I'm glad you think my baby's is as beautiful as I think she is. Kiddo likes to change the color of her hair all the time. Powder blue, streaks of teal, hot pink... It's just fun!

    People turned around and looked at us when we walked into the restaurant. It's a sort of fancy restaurant, so I'm sure people weren't too surprised to see it, and I don't think they were looking at us because we look like idiots 😅

    @rob333 (zone 7b)....yep...stunning! My tenant looks a lot like her...only she does the green or hot pink hair streaks every day, long nails and bullring in her nose. Around here, she would have plenty of company. I lived in Boulder when I was a little kid. First time I saw blue hair as everyday attire, I was maybe 5 years old. Self expression = Colorado. trans/bi/hetero...no one singles anyone out here. Lots of young people here. Lots of acceptance.

IMO She just tried ALL blue too...and well...it was a dull blue. We both decided she should go brighter! ❤️ That's a great shade of blue!

    Definitely not as exciting as other posts here but a good deal. We have an outlet store here that sells various household items with containers/boxes that have either been damaged or opened and resealed. A couple aisles are cleaning items. They were selling boxes of 28 Swiffer Duster refills for $10. We have a house full of plantation shutters, and I go through quite a few of the dusters!

    Well along the lines of the swiffer, last month I got these toothpaste squeezers. I believe the pack of 2 is currently 79 cents. I am pretty sure I paid $1.50 or so. Still I have to say, I get a chuckle every time I see it in my bathroom. DH was able to set it so that the tube of toothpaste, aside from being squeezed neatly-- ready for it---?? stands up. I decided I would take a chance with Temu and it was totally fine.

    I may think about putting this on the little happy things thread.

    Don't judge.

    I wanted a marble spoon rest like this one from Crate and Barrel ($25)




    and spent some time this morning looking online to see if I could find it cheaper, but everything was $22 and up. No biggie, I was going to get one, but I knew I was heading to Marshalls today so figured I’d check there. Didn’t really expect to find one but I DID! Same exact thing, marble…for $4! They had only one. And now it’s mine. 🤗

    DH & I went to several grocery stores and not looking for anything but a few inredients for dinner - found a lot of lamb chops, pork ribs and beef steaks and beef ribs at good prices. Hubs spent awhile dividing them up and vacuum sealing them for the freezer. Our youngest Aussie is terrified by the noise from it, so we have to put the dogs out in the walled garden when he does that. Otherwise I have a shivering 60 lb Austrailian Shepherd on my lap. He looks cute here...

    Table and chairs from Goodwill. It has a leaf that goes up on the other side too. Tag said table and four chairs $25!!! We had a heck of a time fitting it in my sisters car but made it work. I’ve wanted a game/puzzle table for upstairs for a while, but nothing has seemed quite right. I can’t believe how cheap it was. Its solid wood

    I’ve been looking everywhere for a recliner that i will need after an upcoming surgery. After looking at at least 50, I found this one at a local consignment store. It has every feature I need, including “wallaway”. It’s leather, like new and i got it for $650. Thats less than half price new. I may not keep it so i didnt want to make a big investment. Everything else I looked at was pleather or fabric. Doing the happy dance.

    I bought the same marble spoon rest at BB&B in December for $12.80 - the original price was $16. I found that it is somewhat prone to staining, and so I have to spend some time cleaning it if I get a stain on it. I would have loved finding it for $4, but I guess I was in the wrong store. I haven't been to a Marshall's in a long time.

    I bought this soap dispenser/caddy from Amazon for $24.00.


    It is faux marble resin, and so I hope it will resist stains better than real marble. My countertops are quartz, and so they do not stain. I guess $24 is not really a bargain, but I was very happy to find something that goes with my kitchen. I chose not to have a soap dispenser built in because I have not had a good experience with the one I have in L.A.

    Cleaning tip (if you do not already do this): I put my brushes in the top tray of the D/W when I run it, and they come out looking like new.

    We bought a refurbished robo-vac for $110, and sounded like a good deal to me. It got good reviews, and we like it so far. I have a California King bed in Cathedral City, and it is very difficult to clean under that, which is one of the main reasons I got this. My main complaint about it is that the tray fills up rather quickly, but sand blows into my bedroom through the patio doors when we have sand storms. We bought a new door sweep for the front door to help keep this from happening in the living room, but the bedroom/patio door slides instead of swings.

    Seattle, I can see that would look fabulous on! No Goodwill here (Nova Scotia) but we have other options. That reminds me, I need to do some shopping at value Village or local Frenchies. Frenchies is our weird secondhand chain here in Nova Scotia, that brings up bales of clothing from the USA. You can get some very nice clothing.

    A battery operated light for over a chair. It was $35 Canadian, but it works perfectly where I needed it. It has three different shade colours of white with three different intensity levels each. It charges by a usb and can be removed and used as a flashlight in case of a power outage.

    More recently, I bought myself a pair and I also love them and have been wearing them a lot over the past two weeks (covid in da house). I see they are on sale again so roughly $20.
