I have tried blogging in the past, but have never kept up with it. Recently, I have been reading other people's posts and love what they do - I want a piece of the action, so here goes...
I'm a stay at home mum, so am on a budget, which means I have to be frugal in everything that we do. I clip coupons, shop at Goodwill, enjoy finding online bargains and LOVE sales. My husband groans when I come back with bags of "bargains".
In the last month of so I have been inspired by creative blogs out there and have some projects in mind that I will blog about. We have been in the States for three years now and in our home for just over two. Now that we know we're not going to move in the near future, we really need to get our home decorated with some colour and style. I hope I'm up to the task!
Today I went to Goodwill and picked up a few bargains, the best of which was a Battat - Around the Block Wagon that I picked up for the grand total of $3.99. I looked online when I got home and it looks like these retailed for $49.99!
My little boy saw it in the shop and fell in love with it. He pushed it all around the shop and wouldn't let it go, so I had to buy it and for just under 4 bucks, who could blame me?! It came with a few blocks, but there were some obviously missing. When we got home, I gave it a good clean and added some blocks that have been sitting untouched in the toy bin for the last few months. I'm very pleased with it and so is my little boy.
I picked up a few more items, but I'll show you those in another post.
What bargains have you picked up lately?
