Licca doll:  $1.99 @ Value Village (RSP:  $6+)
Stationery pack:  $1.99 @ Value Village

Funny how I found another one so soon.  I remember passing up a few Jenny dolls a while back, but I recently decided I would resume rescuing any like dolls I came across from now on.

The other one I bought just for the angel telephone book.  It's used and has a few pages missing, but I've never seen one like that before.  I'm just such a sucker for vintage angels...it's actually made of hard plastic so I took the plunge.

I probably wouldn't have splurged if it was just paper; it's got to have a certain 'quality' to it.  Funnily enough, it was from the same location I bought my last celestial themed stationery from.

Anyway, I plan to rip out the innards and put something new and fresh inside.  Hopefully it won't be too hard to find something similarly sized.

It came with a bunch of stickers I might keep, and a sealed notepad that just happened to be the first letter of my moniker.  I suppose it was worth it for those two items.

Rose tealight holder:  free @ Salvation Army (RSP:  $1+)
Cheetah print rain boots:  $1.99 @ Salvation Army (RSP:  $10+)

There are two thrift stores a few minutes drive away from where I work-literally five minutes along the same street.  Normally I'm too lazy to go there after work, but now I think I'll make it a habit-I've probably only done it a handful of times in the year I've worked there!

I kind of wish I didn't buy these camouflage boots back then, since this one had them in spades.  The tealight was pretty cute so I gave away my precious personal information (my spam e-mail address) to get it.  It's got this neat stain glass effect that I can't wait to see in action.

Porcelain flower candle holder:  $1 @ Chinatown (RSP:  $2+)

I happened to be in Chinatown yesterday, and I also noticed that Claire's was having a 10 for $10 plus other sales-I had to check out my local ones today!  I passed up a red brocade fedora (still not sure if that was a mistake) so I had to snatch this one up.  The other one was just so squished it was structurally damaged, I didn't think it was worth it.

Found the candle holder at a little hole in the wall shop.   It was pretty and cheap so it came home with me.

Pink slip:  $1.85 (?)
White lingerie set:  $2.25
Black lingerie set:  $2.25

All off Ebay.  Not sure where the slip came from, one of the sellers must have made a mistake in my order.  If it is the one I'm thinking of, I actually like what I received better than what I bought!

2 x Crest toothpaste (RSP:  $1.99+ each)
Silk light vanilla soy milk (RSP:  $4+)

$1.92 for everything, so that means everything was basically free except the milk.  I doubt I'll ever pay for toiletries again.

Sunlight detergent (RSP: $1.50+)
2 x Crest toothpaste (RSP:  $2+)
KitKat bar (RSP:  $.98)

All for $.77. I guess that makes everything free except the chocolate bar!  I wasn't planning on getting it but it was either that or have one of my coupons removed, thus paying more for even less.

Silk light vanilla soy milk (RSP:  $4+)
Jason's Aloe vera gel (RSP:  $5.99)
Nivea travel cream (RSP:  $1.09)

Saturday, April 9, 2011


2lb box of strawberries:  $1.38 (RSP:  $3+)
Irish Spring 6 pack of soap:  free (RSP:  $2.49+)
Mars bar:  free (RSP:  $.98)
Snickers bar:  free (RSP:  $.98)

Hooray for cheap produce!  Since it was no tax day I decided to use that to my advantage.  The soap normally wouldn't have been free, but I ended up having enough overages from the chocolate bars and my discount to cover it.

The strawberries were half off for some reason-don't know why, they looked perfect!  Got a discount for that too, definitely the lowest I've ever paid for them!

Denim look zippered leggings:  $1.99 @ Urban Behavior (RSP:  $17.80)
Gold lace box clutch:  $1.99 @ Urban Behavior (RSP:  $25.50)
Red halter:  $.20 @ Liquidation World (RSP:  $5+)

I'm so glad I wandered into this store last year-I've found so many great things this year!  I'm sure I would have never given them a second thought if it wasn't for that whim a while back.

Now I go every time there-it almost always pays off!  I almost didn't go today, but since my bus timing was off I had some time to kill.

I'm really glad I did, or else I probably wouldn't have found the jeggings-I've been looking for them for so long!  I've never found any in the price range I wanted to pay until now.  I wonder if they've gone out of style :P.

Liquidation World was disappointing.  I specifically went out of my way for this location..it barely had anything left!  Totally wasn't worth the effort.

The top needs some work, but I think it'll look great after I separate the top and make it into a true halter-don't know what they were thinking with it as is!

Grey clutch:  $1.59 (RSP:  $18.25)

Pink polka dot tutu (RSP:  $9.75)
Skull/lip cuff (RSP:  $7.25)
Chiffon headband (RSP:  $9.75)
Black snakeskin belt (RSP:  $11.50)
3 x lace ankle socks (RSP:  $7.25)
Black studded belt (RSP:  $11.50)
2 x Panda soap + soap dispensers (RSP:  $9.75)

10 for $10 @ Claire's.

Geez I was a sucker today.  I fell in love with the chiffon headband and had to have it-I just didn't want to pay $5 for it!  I stayed there an unbearably long time trying to pick items to round out my bill.

I did want one of the ankle socks but normally wouldn't have bought three...I considered the soap dispenser before but thought it was kind of childish.  Still ended up with two!

The snakeskin belt I would have bought if I didn't already have a ton of similar ones....same with the other belt.  At least I managed to give away one of the belts.

I really wish I didn't have to load up on unnecessary things-if only they had a better selection!  I just had to have that headband.  Something in me couldn't leave it behind.  I'm really not too fond of the cuff now and I probably won't have any use for the tutu, so maybe I'll give those away too.

Red lingerie set:  $2.06 off Ebay
Black rose clutch:  $2.27 @  Claire's (RSP:  $18.25)
Silver heart clutch:  $2.19 @ Claire's (RSP:  $18.25)
Striped skirt:  $2.19 @ Claire's (RSP:  $18.25)

I really wish I didn't buy that clutch a while back-I still haven't used it!  I think it's gorgeous, but of course I wouldn't have picked it up if I knew I could have gotten it for half the price....so I bought another one in case something happens to that one :x.

I probably shouldn't have bought the skirt.  I thought I could use it on Halloween, but now I think it would have been better to leave it behind.

Love the heart clutch though!  Glad I was able to find it in another colour, though I was surprised it ended up being almost twice the price.

Sheesh, I'm having a lot of problems with this seller-they keep on sending me the wrong colour/wrong items!  Now I have so many doubles..I wonder if they're going to do anything about it.  I suppose I should just stop buying from them.

White metal jewelry holder:  $2.59 (RSP:  $21)

All at Claire's.

Claire's is having another 10 for $10 sale-this time,  the other redline reductions are 75% off!  Always great deals when that comes around.

I'm really happy with the heart clutches-they're gorgeous!  I was going to get two of them but since they were so cheap I got all 4...in case I needed back ups :o.

I kind of wonder if I should make my way out to the other Claire's.   I'm really curious to know what the other ones have!

Vianni Collection - brown suede over the knee boots:  $5 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $189.95)

I bought two!  I'm planning on making one pair thigh high length and making the other ones studded booties.

I'm pretty annoyed.  For some reason, workers there don't update the prices!  These were still marked at $40 but I recognized the name from the ones I bought before.  On a whim I checked the price-I'm glad I did!

They were $5 each, which I suspected since most of their older stock seems to have gone down to that price.  Now I just wonder what else I'm missing!

There are some other ones that are still the same price as last year, but it seems pretty annoying to bring everything up there to check.  At least I managed to take advantage of this promotion:



Cargo Cosmetics - Green goddess kit (RSP:  $36)

It was free with a $75 gift card purchase! I thought I might as well since the card doesn't really expire.  It has some penalties if there's still a balance in 16 months, but I'll probably use it by then...it's already down to $60 now :P.

Student body - Canada t shirt:  $.50 (RSP:  $10-$39.99)

All at Liquidation World!  I'm really curious what the other ones have to offer but they're so out of the way...I wonder if it would be worth it to make the trek out.

The accessories were my favorite finds from this round.  The shoes are gorgeous and so is the belt buckle!  I'm such a sucker for emblems like that one.

I was surprised to see that skirt, I don't remember seeing it any other times!  It's pretty goth so I don't think I would wear it unless it was Halloween.  I do like that it's pretty decorated, at least it's not boring.

White flower bra strap:  $.01
Gold rose pocket watch:  $1.68
3 x Rhinestone heart rings:  $2.55
3 x Circular rhinestone rings:  $2.25
Black teddy:  $2.04

All off Ebay.

I'm ecstatic that watch is finally mine-I've been trying to win it for a year!  Several people won it for the starting bid so I was waiting to do the same...it just never panned out.  I finally won it for a couple cents over the starting bid, it's gorgeous and totally worth it!

Delicious - green clear platform wedges:  $.35 (RSP:  $10+)
Delicious - pink clear platform wedges:  $.35 (RSP:  $10+)
Annie - clear rhinestone encrusted shoes:  $1.99 (RSP:  $19.88-$60)
Groove - Matisse - dark burgundy/brown platform MJ's:  $1 (RSP:  $10-$65)
Groove - Viper - brown crocodile print platform MJ's:  $.50  (RSP:  $10+)
Kahtoola - Flightboots:  $2 (RSP:  $20-$149)

Just had to check out another one after my last mind numbingly exciting experience.  Shoes weren't included in the other one, so I was really surprised they were in this one-I've never paid so little for shoes!  Makes me wish I didn't pay regular price for the same Delicious shoes in black year ago.

The 'Flightboots' are steel spiked shoe covers-mainly for mountain climbing or other outdoorsy activities.  I currently don't do anything like that, but I'd like to...thought they'd come handy at that time, especially for that price!

I was a bit undecided about the Annie shoes-I liked them, but they seemed like cheaper quality than the others (that were cheaper in price!).  I ended up buying them since I don't have anything like that in my closet, and I like how there's a clear motif all over. 


Mecca Femme - brown puffy jacket:  $2 (RSP:  $20+)

I actually came to this location hoping to find this specific jacket in black.  3 days ago they had almost an entire rack of them-today there was just this one!  It's really big and unflattering but I think I can tailor it to work.  For that price, why not!

It's a medium, I would have taken an extra small if I had the choice.  They came in red, brown, and black-I definitely would have wanted the black, but maybe brown was the better choice. 

I wish I could have gone to the other one that's sort of near me.  Who knows what kind of deals awaited me there!  I wonder if anyone bought that $100 wedding dress for $10 (lord knows I might have :P).

Lisa Ann - floral camisole top:  $.30 (RSP:  $3.88+)
Just Love - love + kisses camisole top:  $.30 (RSP:  $3.88+)

Angel eyes by spanish harem - plaid pajama pants:  $.89 each (RSP:  $8.88-$17.99 each)

All at Liquidation World!

I had a great day today!  Liquidiation world was having a one day 90% off sale-I just had to partake!  I'm really annoyed I went when it was only half off, I didn't know they would go higher than that.

Funnily enough, yesterday I found out they were having a 75% off sale-I was clamoring to go to that one until I got their notice of the sale today.  I wish I could have gone to more, but I ended up having other obligations today.

Anyway, I'm really happy with what I bought-the stuff there isn't really that fashion forward a lot of the time, but I can always count on them for comfortable basics.  I specifically wanted the pajama pants above-I love plaid and was in dire need of comfy bottoms so that really worked out.

As for the rest-I can always use cheap lingerie!  The rosette one is my favourite.  Some are a little big so I'll have to resize them.

I don't wear t shirts that much, but I was really fond of the graphic on that shirt.  For that price, why not!  I don't like the band but I doubt many people have heard of them enough to consider the shirt a form of promotion.  Also got this sheet set for $6.49:


The thread count wasn't very impressive but I liked the print.  I definitely wouldn't have been willing to pay any more for that set...too bad bedding was only half off.

Lastly, one of my best finds ever:


Chadwicks - pink silk chiffon dress:  $1 (RSP:  $24.99-$100)

I don't have any dresses that long.  I don't really like the style up top but it would be beautiful as a strapless gown!

The best part?  It's 100% silk!  I can't believe I got such a steal.  I don't have any dresses this retro and elegant.  Just one there and it happened to be my size.

Flower shaped hanging laundry dryer:  $2 @ Yoko Yaya

God that's cute.  I'm not too fond of the color, but all of the other ones there were really boring.  I considered getting the circular one that had 4 more hooks, but in the end, design won out for me.

L'oreal hair expertise re-nutrition shampoo (RSP:  $4.99)
3 x Gillette body wash (RSP:  $4+ each)

All for $2.71 @ Superstore

The Lysol system is a MIR-I had coupons for everything except the food, and the overages went into them.  Hooray!
