My Big Bargain!!

That is an awesome price for a table runner. I have one on my dining room table and the side-board/buffet and it does make the table a little bit more fancy. Can't beat getting a top for a buck!! You did way better than me on the bargains

@Marilynda1225 I am telling you this church yardsale place has the best bargains you have ever seen. Who needs Goodwill? They had this fantastic marble inlay coffeetable for get this...10 bucks! Also, a cool floor lamp tested, for 3 bucks. I am telling you the place is a goldmine. They had lots of yarn there too, but since I have no need, I didn't look at the price.

@snowy22315 that's amazing that your church yard sale has so many great items for such low prices. I an't believe they have a marble inlay coffee table for just 10 bucks!! I wish I lived closer. I would be in my glory

Have you made any more finger puppets? what are you going to do with the yarn when you get it beside make your brother in law a beanie? I'm always interested in seeing what you create

@JudyEv that is very sad Judy. I guess if you make him a beanie from the wool it will give him a little reminder of her when he wears it. It's doubly sad having to dispose of stuff from someone you loved so much. I hope you find some nice projects as you unravel that wool.

@Marilynda1225 It's very sad. The yarn belonged to his wife. There is a back and sleeve of a man's jumper but not enough wool to finish it even if I had the pattern and the wool. There are also other half-finished garments but the wool to complete them is missing. It's probably in another bag somewhere and he'll come across it as he continues to clean out cupboards, etc. The knitting is really lovely - very even but the only thing I can do is unpick the pieces and use the wool in other ways.

@Marilynda1225 I try to only buy clothing. I have so many things to get rid of.

Going to a tag sale sounds like fun especially if you can find a few things you want at a good price.

@Marilynda1225 I bought my usual chocolate bars, they will be good also to make chocolate mousse. With the actual prices, I try to profit of every discount coupon that I find.

Any savings is a big help these days. Your 20% off was great on the items you mentioned.

@Marilynda1225 Peaches are my favorite fruit. If I could, I'd eat nothing but peaches until I couldn't buy them from the orchard anymore. (I have been known to do that in the past. Everybody kept telling me I'd make myself sick of them but I just grinned and ate bushel after bushel. Of course, I can't do that anymore. My doctor would kill me!) Watermelons come in a close second. Pretty and I eat a watermelon in two to three days. (I also have one section of the freezer that is quart Ziploc bags part-way filled with the best watermelon chunks from the summer. I eat those like they're ice cream all winter long.) Tell your daughter to drop you off here while she's gone on vacation. I promise to share my watermelons with you that long. My stomach was protesting being out of bed yesterday before we left for the allergist appointment and it never has settled down. My BP is back to normal this morning, so I took my regular meds. We went to Walmart this morning to pick up my prescriptions that were ready and I got the shingles vaccine while we were there. I'm still feeling tired from being at the doctor's for six hours yesterday.

@DaddyEvil I didn't know that you could freeze watermelon. Do you just cut it up and throw it in the freezer? Sounds like it would be something I would definitely enjoy and a healthier treat than the ice cream I love

My day is off to a pretty good start and I'm hoping it stays that way I love fresh peaches and you were lucky to get them at your local orchards. Most of my supermarkets don't have peaches that are all that sweet or juicy. My daughter is going on vacation so I won't get a watermelon until she comes home. I certainly couldn't eat a whole one by myself but I also love watermelon so I would eat it any time of the day or night, How are you feeling? hopefully better

Glad you got some rain. We're not due for any until the weekend and then maybe thunderstorms

@Marilynda1225 We need more but it was a nice start.

I could never shop for 6 months at a time but you probably save a lot of money that way. The only things I stock up on is non-perishables for the house. Oherwise I'm always looks for yarn for a crocheting project or a good book to read.

Those buy one get one free really are a good bargain. That was pretty good that you got your skin lotion and saved all that money
