I am incredibly happy.  I couldn't believe the deal I got on these shoes-they're probably the most incredible buy I've gotten so far. 

Faux suede boots w/white trim:  $2.68
Genuine suede cowboy boots:  $1 (!)
Black heels with tiny, shiny, tiles on the straps:  $1

All from Liquidation World.

Any identification that might have been there has been stripped off, but who cares for those prices!  Even most used shoes aren't that cheap. 

There were a bunch of the second pair (I even picked up a second one for a friend), but only one of the first.  I hastily ran and grabbed it as soon as I ventured into the store...it's gorgeous!  Cute wedge heels, buckle detailing, and even a zipper-I was so shocked that they were only $5!

The second one I probably wouldn't have bought if the price wasn't so good.  Of course, that was when I thought they were $5 like the first pair (as marked on the tag).

Imagine my surprised when they scanned in at half that!  I don't normally like pointy toed shoes, but these ones weren't that extreme..and I like having a variety.  Plus, I just don't see myself saying no to leather boots at that purported price. 

The last two were actually $1 each because there was a 'midnight madness' deal going on (one hour only)-buy any pair of shoes and get another for $1. 

The $1 deal is done now, but I'm planning on going to another store on the weekend.  Hopefully they'll have more boots for the same price :o.

Furry clutch wallet:  $1.80
Bow/pearl earrings:  $.26
Freshwater pearl necklace and bracelet set:  $1.12

All from Ebay, as has been of late.

Gold plated swarovski crystal flower ring:  $1.06
Black carved coral flower ring:  $.99
Coral carved coral flower ring:  $.99
Pink biwa pearl ring:  $1.16
Pink pearl butterfly ring:  $.99

Strawberry shaped reusable bag:  $.11

All from Ebay-I'll never get tired of it!  I've been on there for 12 years now.  

The strawberry bag is adorable!  It's a normal reusable bag, except one of the corners is shaped like a strawberry.  You then fold up the bag and put it into the strawberry-it's such a novel idea!  I'm planning on buying a few more.

BeauSac - quilted purses with chain straps:  $3 each @ Liquidation World (RSP:  $14)

I passed these up for weeks, but finally caved in once it was just down to these two.

They're pretty similar to the Bijoux Terner bags that went down to $2.50, except these ones are slightly smaller.  I also think the shape is more aesthetically pleasing.

They need a little oomph.  I'm planning to decorate the front with matching pleather flowers.

Now I wish I bought the other Bijoux Terner bags that were available.  There were three different colours that I never picked up, and I still don't have those colours in my closet.

Granted, they were colours I wasn't too fond of, but you never know what occasion may arise!

Large striped wallet clutch:  $2 @ Icing by Claire's (RSP:  $18.50)

It's been almost a month since I last went to Icing, so I was really surprised they still had the $2 sale going on.  They even restocked the items I bought previously!  

All of the items were the same as before, except the clutch above.  There were two, but one was in pretty terrible condition.  A woman grabbed the better one before me, but luckily for me, she ended up putting it back. 


This is a huge clutch!  Bigger than any practical wallet should be, measuring in at about 12 by 10 inches.  An odd hybrid between purse and wallet. 

Dussault Apparel- black skinny jeans:  $5 @ Liquidation World (RSP:  $130)

The downside to buying clothes at Liquidation World is you can't try before you buy.  They used to have fitting rooms, but those went the way of the dinosaur.

I decided to just get the largest size they had there, which happened to be a 26.  There were tons of 22's and 23's, but I'm not sure if I'll ever get that low.  24, maybe, but that would be a long ways off.  

I was so sure they would fit, but alas, they don't.  I can squeeze them on, but I can't quite button them up :x.  I'm finally making progress on the weight loss front though, so I'm certain they'll fit sometime soon! 

They seemed like run of the mill jeans, but surprisingly, they really make your butt look good :o.

I guess there is something to the price.  These are the same makers of those preposterous $250K jeans.

Chocolate calculator:  $1.50 @ Dollarama

Fabulous crap like this is why I love dollar stores-not only is it chocolate shaped, it's chocolate scented!  


The packaging was also ridiculously cute.  The price could have been better, but I just had to have it.
