Large Storage Bins Just $2 each!

Our small storage space has gotten away from us.

Once orderly and efficient, now just a chaotic oubliette that we pay too much for each month but, avoid visiting. We are guilty of dropping off stuff without first organizing it into tidy stack-able boxes and now we can't bear to interact with it .

As you can see from the craigslist photo, this seller had the mother-lode of plastic bins in great condition and she sold them for only $2 a piece (all with lids). I jumped at this opportunity and bought ten of them. I love that the price is great and they all match in size so they stack easily.

Professional 13-piece Cookware just $50!

$75 would have been an amazing deal on this cookware because (Chocolate Brown) Circulon Premier Professional 13-piece Hard-anodized Cookware currently retails between $269 - $359, but I offered her $50 and she was happy to accept it because she had been listing it for 3 weeks with no sale or offers...it just goes to show you that offering what would be a great price for me, did not offend her so, it was worth a try.

I normally pay between $100 and $150 retail for cookware, so this is a nice step up in quality. I especially love these pieces because they can be washed in the dishwasher, have silicone handles, can be used in an oven up to 400 degrees and you can use metal utensils in them. They are in Excellent, Like New condition!

Inspiration for round mirrors or frames

I see a crazy amount of round mirrors in stores, and this image from Pinterest (I'm not in love with the blue decor though) has inspired me to begin looking for some good deals on mirrors I like. I will try to add mirrors to this post as I find them so you can watch my progress.

I hope they don't disappear from the stores as soon as I start collecting them...lol

.... I have always secretly wanted to get one of those starburst mirrors anyway.

$1.99 at Goodwill!

Blue & White Covered Dish Under $7

I have always LOVED Blue & White Ceramics with an Asian design. I fully expect the Pieces I collect to be cheap copies of copies of copies of the original but that does not diminish their beauty for me. I have been scouring EBAY for a good B & W bowl and the prices have been pretty crazy... ranging from a low of $35 to $185 and beyond. This sweet bowl and cover are about 9" square with no damage for only $6.99 at Goodwill!

Bracelet Loom

I recently discovered the Loop De Doo Loom and was determined to pick one up. Yesterday I looked up the cost of lots of string on Ebay , founding some great deals, I decided to definitely get one. An hour or so later we stopped by Goodwill to see what the new discount color is on price tags when I saw the loom on a back shelf. We opened it and it looked in perfect shape but half the string was in knots at the bottom of the box. It was priced at just $5 BUT it was a red tag so it was half that price.

These looms run as high as $35! I got it home and it was just like new and after I untangled the threads... I discovered they were almost all there too. When I sat down to my computer, the ebay page with threads was still up on my screen...that is how the law of attraction works! I have a few ideas to add beads to the lengths of cord to use in dreamcatchers from this loom...excited to see what I can create!

Pine Plate Rack

Wow, did I get a great deal!

I think it might be because it's the weekend before the 4th of July, but... nobody snagged this Pine piece so the price had already dropped a bit by the time I saw it on Craigslist. I offered $35 and HH shot over to their house to grab it just moments before they moved on to their new house.

I have my eye on a consignment pine piece to go with it... I hope I can get the price adjustment that I am hoping for because I'm pretty sure my vision will be awesome.
