Bargain Shopping!!!

Last night Chris and I had the opportunity to go to a few local stores in town before heading to the movies. (That I was disappointed in! lol)
We first stopped at Dirt Cheap. I mean, come on, if you have the time to rummage through all of the junk, you can really find some great deals. I am so excited, because I am pretty sure this is my biggest, bestest buy to date!!! :) :) :) :)
Yes, I do realize that this picture is sort of hard to see-deal with it.
Okay, so, here are my 50 cent each items:
Three target shirts for myself (YES, I was shocked they had my size too), a pair of target shoes that are super cute but hurt my feet, two little pair of target glitter shoes for M, two pair of shorts for the boys (in bigger sizes for later on), a cute brown onesie  and a pair of shorts for next summer for M. That is a whopping $5.00.

My $1.00 buys:
1gb USB drive (Yes, it works.) and a black curtain to try and block out heat and sun in the boys' bedroom. :) (Gotta try everything I can to keep them from getting up at DAWN!!!)

My most expensive buy:
A Leapster 2: Jedi Math game for the boys. It was only $7.50 in its original, undamaged packaging!

My Dirt Cheap total was $14.50 plus tax. I am just so excited. I needed some new shirts!!


So how stinkin' cute are these? They are actually navy blue, make my feet look wide as boats and aren't very comfortable, however, I figured I could wear them to ChoctoberFest 2010 and have LW take pictures of them. :) :)  For 50c, they are worth a little pain.

Chris and I then made our way over to Burke's Outlet. I very rarely go in there, but I am glad I did this time. I did buy four shorts, that were not on sale, but I am still pleased with the price. My biggest buy here was three pair of sunglasses. Anyone that knows me knows that I have been wearing my very old, prescription sunglasses-that have only one leg.  So, when I saw 60% off I figured I would take a chance. Though I can still see (not as clearly, naturally) I think I look a bit more sane with sunglasses that have all of their appendages and aren't crooked on my face. So, for about 7$, I got all three pair.

  3. Yes, Janice..a size 11 is very hard to come by!! I probably could squish into a 9/10 but my feet are so wide! I was so excited to actually find stuff I NEEDED (shirts) at only 50c!!!!

  4. I saw those same shoes, but passed them up because they hurt my feet!! When I see you in them, I will pull up a chair for you.

    And I'm GLAD you found yourself some new sunglasses. ( :
