I normally don't buy stuff here, because I never find their prices good enough.  Most of the time when prices are decent, you don't get free shipping either...making it not so much of a deal.

Well, for this boxing day, everything lined up!  Prices were incredibly cheap since they were offering 30% off the lowest price, and there was free shipping with no minimum!  I just had to jump on that.

The best part is, it came so fast!  3 and 4 days respectively, which is really impressive considering it was a holiday, and it went over the weekend.

I just wish I ordered earlier, because I could have gotten half off instead of 30%!  Would have saved $3....but I'll just make sure I order earlier next time!

Tsega - Knit whimsical cat/mushroom dress:  $4 @ Value Village (RSP:  $40)

I don't normally like wearing campy stuff, but this print was just too great to pass up:
 

It even has a cat on a cloud!
 

I thought it was some cheap Chinese dress, since the quality doesn't feel that great.  It turns out it's some brand sold in the UK, for around $40 US.  I got this from the VV with the blythes.

2 Littlest Pet Shop Blythes:  $1 for both @ Value Village

Finally!  I hardly ever find one as it is, so two at a time is a treat.  I do have the one on the right already, but I never mind multiples!  Little blythes are just too sweet.

It was half off day, but I thought toys were never on sale.  I don't know if the cashier just made a mistake, but I'm happy for it!

I just checked the ad again, and it wasn't a mistake.  I wish I saw that!  I would have spent more time looking at the other sections.  I also would have picked up another Draculaura car, it would have only been $1.50!

They came in a bag of crappy, unposeable, Mcdonald's dolls, so I left them all behind at the store.

Le Chateau - Mesh turnlock belt:  free (RSP:  $9.95 - $19.95)

So many freebies recently!  My mom got a $15 "gift card" through work, but she gave it to me.  It wasn't really a gift card since it had an expiry date, and you had to use it all in one transaction.

Stuff there is so expensive, I didn't think I'd find anything.  I went to one store already, and even though I could have gotten something, it was nothing I liked that much.

Plus, the quality of those items weren't that great.  A lot of stuff (primarily the stuff that gets marked down to reasonable ranges) is just average mall quality!

I decided to go to the other one near me, since I didn't want the glorified coupon to go to waste.  This one was a bit better, but still nothing I really wanted...except this belt.

It's so nice!  I love the design.  The other stuff was decent, but it was the kind of stuff I could get on ebay for way cheap.  This kind of belt I've never seen anywhere, so it was a great buy..even though I had to forfeit $5.  There was nothing that low at this location!

I'm really happy about that skull clutch!  It was actually a buy it now, which is surprising.  They only had one, or else I would have bought more!  Most auctions don't even end that low.

Moschino jeans - Jean jacket/blazer:  $7.50 (RSP:  $500+)
Tadashi Shoji - Blue satin and beaded lace sheath dress:  $7.50 (RSP:  $422)
 

www.39c.com.cn - NWT Silk scarf print dress:  $7.50 
Suzy Shier - Bird print dress:  $2.50

All @ Value Village.

I'm not sure how much the Moschino jeans line cost, I can't figure that out anywhere.  But I did see unlined jean jackets on their website for $200, so I think this one had to have retailed for nearer to a thousand...the quality is so nice!

Which is why I had to pick it up, even though it doesn't currently fit me.  I'll wait it out a bit and see if I lose the weight, otherwise I have a friend who could use it.

I find so much Moschino, but a lot of it is very loud.  I was surprised to find something so basic as this...it looks pretty modern too.  The tailoring is great, it just looks so normal for them.

The Tadashi dress is a bit too big, but I think it still looks ok.  I just can't pass up Tadashi, his designs are really figure flattering.

The last two...I thought that silk dress looked neat.  Like it was made from a scarf!  It was new with tags, so I thought it was worth it, even though it's a chinese brand.  The quality is fine, but not amazing.  

The last dress I just bought because it was super cheap.  Well, I really liked the print, but I wouldn't buy Suzy Shier stuff otherwise. 

Brown snakeskin/eelskin bag:  $3.50
Ingledew's - Purple snakeskin bag:  $4

Both @ Value Village

I actually bought this for the skin, but later on I noticed...these are pretty neat designs!  I think I might just keep them as is.  I rarely see skins that aren't plain...I've never seen a snakeskin/eelskin mix bag before!

Funky colours like this purple one are even rare.  I normally only see them in drab colours.

They're not in mint condition, but they're pretty usable.  The purple one actually looks perfect on the outside, but it's peeling on the inside.

As for the brown one, it has some general wear all over, but the back has some spots that are somewhat bad.  The flap is almost mint though, and the rest of the front is ok.

I guess I'll clean them up and see how much better they look.  But right now, I'm thinking it would be a shame to customize them.  Especially the bottom one!  The shape is neat., it'd be a shame to lose that.

I'm glad I went back to the purse section, because they must have just put that purple purse out!  I would have missed it otherwise, which would be a shame..it's one of the best ones I've seen!

Retro X-Men t-shirt:  $10 @ Walmart

Christmas gift for my brother.  He never buys clothes, so I always try to get him some.  I like buying shirts at walmart, because their regular price is so reasonable!  

The exact same prints (or just similar ones) are around $20 elsewhere!  $10 on sale.  It's like they're always on sale here!

I used my tellwut giftcard, so it didn't cost me anything.  Yay!

Lalaloopsy Girls - Peanut big top and Splot Splatter Splash:  $11.97 each (RSP:  $19.99)

I got the one on the left at London Drugs, and the other one at Walmart.  Both of them were price matched, but I wanted to buy them at those places to get rid of my gift cards.  Nothing out of pocket, hooray!

Walmart was actually better, because the 10% discount actually did apply to it.  I wasn't sure about that when it came to price matches.


I've wanted these girls for so long.  I love how they look!  They remind me of Japanese pose dolls.  This is my favourite line so far, and I've wanted them for months...but I wanted to wait for a sale.

The last time I saw them for $14.99, but this is a much better deal.  I do want to get at least one more, one of the colour changing ones that retails for $25.  I'm waiting for that one to go around half off, so we'll see how long that takes.

Victoria's Secret - Angel gold fragrance mist:  free (RSP:  $15)

I never shop here because it's so expensive.  I recently joined their mailing list though, and they sent me a coupon for $10 off any purchase...no minimum!  So that gave me an excuse to go root around a bit.

Everything was so insanely overpriced, considering the quality is the same as any other mass produced store.  The cheapest thing I saw in the store was $9, and that was for really tiny pouches and compacts.

I saw that their body sprays were on sale for $10, regular price $15.  Some of the bottles were so beautiful, like this one!  That surprised me, since I never noticed them before.  I haven't seen any other body spray packaged like a perfume..none have had nice caps like these ones.

I was also surprised that some of these actually smelled like perfume...or like it was trying to be perfume.  Other body sprays I've smelled were mainly light and fruity, or just fresh feeling overall.  This one has a kind of old school, heavy smell to it.  It was one of my favourites there, but the beautiful bottle put it over the top.

I also saw that their mini perfume ornaments were clearanced to $10, but this seemed like a better deal.  Even though the parfums are better quality (and they retailed for $18), they're still not that great....plus the bottles were pretty plain, and they wouldn't last very long.  It was an easy decision.

I love how they packaged everything with tissue paper and a gift bag.  It really makes your purchases feel special.

I don't know if I'll ever get another freebie like this again, but I'm very happy that I got it this time.  I thought I'd have to pay the tax, but the coupon took that off too!

Sailor moon skater dress:  $5.91 (BIN:  $10.99+)

I've wanted this for a while, even though I don't know where I would use it.  It's actually a knockoff of the one in the picture, but the quality looks exactly the same!


That one cost around $100, so I'm pretty happy about the price I paid.

Easyfeet:  $3 (RSP:  $12.99+)
Shutter shade glasses air freshener:  $1 

Both @ Dollarama

I should have known better...just about every "as seen on tv" product that ends up at dollarama has HORRIBLE reviews.  That's why they end up there, at deep discounts.

This one was actually ok.  It feels nice, but it doesn't really do a good job at cleaning your feet.  

The glasses were for my dolls.  I thought it would fit a pullip, but it actually fits a blythe.  

It looks good, except it's made out of a flimsy rubber!  More like a gel type material.  I thought it was plastic, and it looked like it actually opened up..but it doesn't.  It's molded in one piece!

I saw a blue one today, but knowing the quality, I didn't think it was worth it to get more.  I could easily make them myself for cheaper, if I really wanted to.
