Extra Large Fabric Bins Only $7.99 Ea.

Target has been donating lots of new stuff with the tags on it to our Goodwill, I scored these two New Extra Large Fabric Bins/Baskets for only $7.99 each! These sell in the store for $24.99 each so I am happy with the price and I really like the color.

Office Depot Computer Chair just $14.99

As you can see from the photo, this chair looks pretty good, in fact, it has two white scuffs on the back where it rubbed on a white wall. This chair has an Office Depot tag under the seat, it retails for $299.99 but was marked $14.99 at Goodwill. As soon as I saw it, I sat down, then when I had checked it out structurally and everything felt great, I did not get out until Handsome Husband found me, I dare not walk away to find him and lose the chair to another shopper ...lol

The funny thing is that just a week ago we stopped into Office Max to shop for computer chairs but they were having a closing sale and all the tags were gone from their chairs, no employees in sight, so we finally gave up without buying a chair. We were looking at similar chairs but did not want to pay $300 ...well, we didn't! We paid 5% of the retail cost on this chair, I feel pretty good about that.

Silver Plated Christmas Tree Star $3.99

I found this great Silver Plated Christmas Tree Star at Goodwill for just $3.99!

I really like the patina on it and may not even polish it.

I love that it an ageless decoration, it could be vintage or brand new, who can say? lol

My husband used to ask me what I was looking for each time I walked into Goodwill, I always say that I am open to whatever I find, and there has been all sorts of things I never expected to see that showed up... and the price is usually pretty perfect too.

SciFi Paperbacks!

My Handsome husband is starting to find things he wants in the book area of Goodwill.

He is intrigued by all the old scifi paperbacks, he picked up these two.
                                                                                                                                   ~Sandy

I found this Wooden Cheese Board at Goodwill for $3.99, 

much cheaper than buying one new and it has no cuts or scratches, 

plus this one has a lot more life in it (do they ever wear out?).

Buddha Baby!

My Handsome Husband found this sweet Buddha while he was patiently 
helping me look for a Cheese Dome at the Goodwill. 
  ( Where have they all gone since the 1980's?)
Sadly, we did not find the dome yet. 

You can never have enough reminders of your Buddha self in your life.
Just $2.99 !

 I would love a fantastic deal on a huge Buddha too, come on Universe!  

*Just a note, we found two amazing dessert cheeses that I can vouch for. 
The first is a Blueberry Stilton, a mild white Stilton mixed with lush 
fruity Blueberries, sooo very good!  The second one, a Pierre Robert,
 is a Bloomy Cheese that is so decadently creamy it has an ultra 
buttery texture with a taste similar to Brie.

Labor Day Weekend Hauls

After my mom passed away, I inherited these dishes 

(retail $50-$60 each), I found this matching Chip and Dip dish in 

perfect condition for only $4.99 at the Goodwill. 

 Someone I know is looking for cheese domes, these were a steal 
at $2 and $3 at Goodwill ...now who was looking for cheese domes?

Our local flower vendor carries a line of expensive glass vases very 

similar to this. I love Purple and gorgeous fresh flowers so when I saw this 

vase, I wanted it and knew I could get a lot of use out of it. I went home 

and it kept crossing my mind, so... I dropped back over to Goodwill to pick 

it up and the half price tag color had changed to Blue so I got it for only $1.98 .

This lovely little piece of Pottery was only $2.50 at Goodwill "Ring it up!"

It is about 7" high and in excellent condition. We will use it for a vase.

CL Hall of Fame:Candelier and a Free Patio Table

This patio table is one of the first things I got for FREE from Craisglist about 

10 years ago. This photo also shows the Candelier I picked up for $50. The 

seller bought it from a glass shop in Seattle for $300, so I feel like I got 

a pretty great deal on it. It is metal with votive cup in stained glass and we also 
use it in our Halloween Haunt. 

We finished off with new patio chairs and a very nice Gazebo, 

both purchased from Home Depot.

Super Cute Red Luggage and a Nice Freebie!

I have been looking for luggage and found this set on Craigslist for $50. I fell 

in love with it and the seller was a really great lady. As a gift from the Bargain 

Gods, I received two additional large suitcases as a reward for not haggling 

this one time over price. I hadn't even thought of luggage for the move but 

now we have enough for everyone for the long trek West :)

Red Hand Blown Pitcher

"What we really need is a red glass pitcher to go with the glasses..." <--- That was the thought I had before I walked into the next Goodwill to check for more Red Martini Glasses.

I found this for only $8
It is in perfect condition and an original piece of hand blown glass too!

And as a bonus, it matches the martini glassware red!

In Search of Red Martini Glasses

Tricia and I are looking for party glassware and Tricia found these martini glasses on Craigslist...
 

"10 red martini glasses. Three designs, polka dots, swirl and stripe. No scratches or chips. $50 "

( In case you didn't do the math ... that is $5 a glass! ) 





Tricia mailed the link to me while I happened to be out with my husband running errands, saying that she made an offer on the glasses, so I hopped into the next Goodwill I saw and guess what I found !

( I snagged these, all in perfect condition,  for only $2 each! ...plus I got one new design. )
