Lace tee shirt dress:  $4 @ Bluenotes (RSP:  $10)

I can't find the picture anymore, but the one I got was pink.  I was surprised the regular price was so low!  I thought it might be super low quality, but since shipping was free, I thought I'd take the chance.

The dress came wrinkled and it is kind of low quality.  But I'm sure it'll be fine with an ironing.

Surprisingly, the shirt is a separate piece!  I thought it was sewn together.  The top is better than the dress.

Lava lite - Mini volcano lamp:  $5.99 @ London Drugs (RSP:  $17.99)

It was on sale for $10.99, plus my brother let me use her LD rewards.  It's fun but I'd rather have a glitter lamp!  They had a bunch listed in stock but none of them actually had them.

20 Battery powered LED's:  $2
Glue gun:  $3.50
LED Orb:  $3
Decorative wall art:  $2

All @ Dollarama

I just wanted that globe to make a lampshade.  My glue gun died recently so I needed one of those too.  The rest were impulse buys!

Tee with ruffles in grey:  $2 (RSP:  $10)

Tee with ruffles in green:  $2 (RSP:  $10)

Over the knee boots:  $10 (RSP:  $49.99)

All @ Bluenotes

I usually don't bother to go to the mall on boxing day, but bluenotes had some 80% off deals I was hoping to catch.   

I mostly just wanted the over the knee boots, so I was glad they had one in my size! Upon first glance I missed it so I'm glad I tried again.  I was ready to buy it online, but I thought I'd try to see if I could save myself the shipping.

They had the shirts in a light pink and oatmeal colour, but those turned out to be pretty see through!  Thank goodness I tried them on first.  These ones were thicker so they were ok.  

For some reason, the price tag actually says $14.99 underneath!  I wonder if that was the original price.  It says $10 on the website.

The rest of the mall was a bust, but it was worth it for the boots!  I was hoping for some 80% off dresses at sirens, but none of them were that cheap.

I still want to check out other malls before the week is over, so here's hoping for cheap dresses!

Expressions:  Oval stone hinge bracelet:  $3.59 @ The Bay (RSP:  $26)

The stone is semi precious and I really liked the design.  I think it's rose quartz.  I finally used up my gift card!  Free shipping too, and they used a stupidly large box.

Decorative LED branches:  $4 (RSP:  $8)
Fiber optic light:  $3

Both @ Dollarama

They were fun and cheap, so why not. 

TMNT Mega Bloks blind bag figures (series 4 and 5):  $2 each (RSP:  $3.99 each)
TMNT Mega Bloks mutation lab:  $4 (RSP:  $17.97)

Starlight projector:  $4
LED Tealights:  $1.25

All @ Dollarama

I went overboard with the TMNT stuff.  They had a bunch of new stuff and I couldn't resist!

Elephant candle stand:  $4
Buddha candle stands:  $3 each

Cat mug w/lid
"Smile party" cutlery set
"Smile party" salad box
Cat travel pillow

$2 each @ Daiso

They had some other buddha figures for $4, but I didn't think they were that nice.  Plus they had no function.  At least these ones hold candles!  They were made in the same style, the faces don't look that great.

Glittery pegasus mirrored box:  $7.99 (RSP:  $12+)

I just couldn't resist.  It was regular price, but it seemed reasonable enough.  I've seen some this size go for $12.99 so I don't know how they decide it.

Buddha head candle:  $5.99 (RSP: $10+)

Ceramic elephant sachet:  $7.99 (RSP:  $12.99+)

Both @ Winners

I was so psyched when I saw that buddha head!  They're usually around $12.99 for that size.  Even the small heads I've seen before were $6.99, so I snatched this up right away!

I thought the elephant was interesting, but I might end up returning it.

20 string lights:  $1.25 @ Dollar Tree

These were actually plug ins, I forgot to check!  I need the battery powered ones.

Starfrit - Oil and dressing mister:  $9.97 @ Walmart (RSP:  $16.95)

These aren't sold in stores around here, so I had to wait until I had something to buy online.  I wanted an oil mister, but the other ones were around $15.

Plus those ones were metal, and I wanted a glass one.  I haven't used it yet, so hopefully it works alright.

3 pack of hipster panties:  $5 @ H&M (RSP:  $14.99)

Shipping was free so I though they were worth picking up.

Lot of LPS Blythe dolls:  $3.99 for all @ Talize

They came in a big bag of toys, but there was nothing else I wanted.  I didn't really want to pay that much, but I haven't found them in a while, and I couldn't resist.

Sylvania light bulbs

Notebook

$1.25 each @ Dollar Tree

I need to find more of those light bulbs!  I think they retail for about $5 each, but I haven't seen them at many dollar trees.

Light up necklace

Lighter

Christmas salt and pepper shakers

Unicorn notebook

Picture frame

All $1.25 each @ Dollar Tree

Mostly stuff I passed up before but wanted to get now.

Zygo cactus:  $3.68 @ Walmart

I didn't expect to buy so many plants today!  This one's a cactus, so it'll last a while.  It was a pretty reasonable price too, so it felt like there wasn't a downside to buying it.  Plus it has flowers right now!  

I don't know how long they'll last, but hopefully they'll bloom again next year.  

Mini rose bush:  $4.99

Succulent:  $3.99

Both @ Rona

I went out of my way to check out this garden center.  I was mainly interested in the roses, but I wasn't sure they would have them at this time.

They had a pretty lovely selection of a ton of plants, but mostly Christmas stuff.  I put the roses in my cat mug because it started getting crazing:

I really like it!  I just hope it lasts for a while.

Melmat home - plush throw:  $3.99 @ Army and Navy

It's pretty thin and some of the edges have already come undone, but I just couldn't resist that pattern.  They had a few cute Christmas patterns, but only one of each.

Salt lamp:  $14

Tsum Tsum lip smackers - Thumper and Dale:  $2 each (RSP:  $5.99 each)

All @ Bianca Amors

I loved my first lamp so much, I wanted one for another room!  I thought I'd get a bigger size, but they didn't look very nice.  Instead of getting taller, they mostly got wider!  

I didn't like the look, plus they were a lot more.  The boxes for the next size up were all taped too, so I couldn't see how they looked in full.  No way I was buying one sight unseen!

Next to my first one (on the right):

The new one is at least a pound or two lighter than my old one, but it has more colour to it.

The base is different too!  It's bigger and more noticeable, whereas the other one was pretty much hidden at the bottom.

This one's better because the light attaches to the base.  With my first one, you just stuck the bulb in the hole...it wasn't secured in any way!

I was thinking about these tsum tsum lip glosses last time, but I didn't want to buy too many.  Well, the other ones were so adorable I wanted these ones too.

They had a ton last time, but this time I really had to dig to find these characters!  Thumper at least, there were still a lot of Dales.

I remember there being at least 10+ last time, and this time I only saw 3.  I only saw one Eeyore too!  Last time there were maybe 6. I'm glad I picked them up when I did!

I saw one box that had a $4.95 Rite Aid sticker on it.  Those stores are only in the US!  I'm surprised because I thought they mainly just had stuff from China instead of closeouts.  

Cat shaped water bottle:  $2.97 @ Thinka

Well, they call it a tea bottle, but I don't see why.  I love the pink one I got, so I thought I should get a back up!  They have two other types of purple, but I'm not tempted by those.

This one has a bunny tail though, which looks pretty odd.   My other one didn't.

Kitchen racks x 2

Mesh frying basket

Pink frosted mason jar mug

Mushroom kitchen timer

$2 each @ Daiso

They actually didn't have anything I came for, but I came away with these instead.  That mushroom timer looks like something from Super Mario!  I could't resist.

Buddha figures:  $1.25 each @ Dollar Tree

Finally!  I've been looking for a buddha figure for a while, but they're all super overpriced for some reason.  The cheapest one I've seen has been $6 for a head, and $8 for a full body figure like this one.

I thought they were supposed to be candle holders, but the holes are too small.  I'm not sure why they made them like that.  It's too impractical to hold anything else!   I'm using them as holders anyway:

I wonder if this is a new item and the other stores will have them soon. This is the first and only time I've seen them anywhere.

Funnily enough, I saw almost the exact same figure at Winners for $10!  Less than an hour before I found these.  The grey one...the figure was the same size and had a similar look too, but it was sitting on a circular base that was probably 6" across.

I thought it was nice, but I didn't want to pay that much.  I'm glad it worked out!

So fresh so clean - Silicone replacement brush head:  $1 @ Winners (RSP:  $4.99 - $7)

The same one I bought a while back for twice the price.  It seems like I only find them when they're on clearance!  I've never seen a cache of them at full price anywhere.

Anyway, I picked this one up for my mom.  They never need to be replaced so I don't see myself picking up more.

Medium salt lamp:  $14 @ Bianca Amors (RSP:  $30+)

I've wanted a salt lamp for a long time!  They've been advertising them here for the last few years...every time I've come they've been sold out.  

Today they weren't!  I was surprised.  They had a ton of every size.  They all came in boxes like this:

It took me so long to pick one!  They're all different, and I didn't want to buy one sight unseen, so I looked into a bunch of boxes.  I found out later that they don't want you to do that, but they had no signs in this area.

It's so beautiful lit up!  I wonder if I should get one for another room.  I was deciding between this one and a small one, but for two dollars more, this one was a better deal.

The sizes here are bigger than most other stores.  When I was checking around, some other stores have their "large" as this one's "small"!   They're all mostly way more expensive too.  Usually starting at around $20 for the small one!

Before that the cheapest I've seen is a small one for $15 at Winners on clearance.  I was actually waiting to see if that one would go down, but now I'm glad someone else bought it.

I actually thought I might want a large or extra large, but this one was heavy enough!  Each size has a 2-4 pound variance.  I weighed mine at home, and it was exactly 12 pounds!  The medium was 8-12 pounds, whereas the large started at 14.

After the difficulty of looking at the mediums I didn't want to bother with any of the bigger sizes!  I really wish they had them without packaging like all of the other stores.  It would have been so much more convenient!

Skull mason jars with handles (RSP:  $10+)

"Ladies magic kitchen shears"

Tsum tsums lip smackers - Chip and Eeyore (RSP:  $5.99 each)

All $2 each @ Bianca Amors

The skulls are the same as my other ones, except they have handles!  I was a bit wary about the colour...I hope they're on the outside and won't seep into anything.  I would have preferred clear ones.

I actually wanted to buy some at Michaels for 80% off.  They were the same kind of colours, but no handles.  They would have been $1.40 each, but I think these are better because of the handles.  Plus they were all gone at that price anyway!

I already have kitchen shears, but these ones are sturdier, plus I like the colour better.

Those lip balms are so cute!  They had all of the star war ones, then a Dale and a Thumper.  I'm tempted to go back for the Dale and the Thumper!  I had no idea they retailed for that much...I wouldn't have paid that, but $2 seemed reasonable to me.

Collapsible storage containers x 2

Lenticular dog notebook

All $1.25 each @ Dollar Tree

I've been looking for those cubes for over a year!!  They never had this size in stock anywhere.  This is the one that fits most standard cube shelves, the other ones they always have in stock are smaller.  Even at this one, there were only two still in packages.

They had one out of package in this colour, and another out of package in another colour.  Now I wish I bought the opened one in this colour!  I'm not sure if I'm going to find any more.

They're at least twice the price anywhere else, so they're a great deal here.

Couldn't resist picking up another holiday dog notebook.  There are two other designs but I don't think I'll buy any more.

Meditating frog statue:  $10 @ Buck or two

I thought this was neat, but it seemed like way too much for a dollar store!  I looked it up online though, and it turns out it's a knock off of this pier 1 one:

The regular price was around $40 Canadian.  I just saw that one went for $100 US on ebay!  I think it's the same mold, but the material must be different.  I read that the original is 4-5 pounds and this one's way lighter.  I think it's just made out of ceramic, and it's only about a pound.

They also had a knockoff of this other one:

Same price, but I didn't like this one as much.  I hate doing this pose!  The other one only had two left, but they had five of these ones.

I haven't seen these statues at any other buck or two.  I'm thinking about buying the other one too....I'll see if it goes on sale.

TMNT activity set

Petpals lenticular notebook

$1.25 each @ Dollar Tree

That set was quite odd.  The folder had no copyrights anywhere!  It totally looks like a bootleg without it.  

There also wasn't any barcode or any packaging, and this was the only one there.  Inside there are 8 sheets of stickers, an activity pad, and a scene board for the stickers.  The stickers are the only thing with a copyright.

Well I thought it was worth it for the folder alone, so I bought it anyway.

The other notebook was just fun.  There were a few other designs so I might pick up more!

2.5L glass container:  $4 @ Dollarama

The brand is "kitchen elements" but it has their price printed on the bottom, so probably made for them.

This is the biggest glass container I've seen there so far.  For a long time the biggest they had was a 1.5L for $3.50, so this is a much better deal.  I've seen similar ones go for $10+!

Cactus trio:  $2.80 @ Ikea (RSP:  $3.99)
Bear planter:  $2 @ Daiso

I actually got this at the beginning of the month.  Ikea was having a 30% off sale on their plants, and I just so happened to want plants at that time!

I wanted to get an aloe vera plant, but sadly, they were all sold out.  I also wanted a cactus with a flower on it, but they didn't have those either.

At least they had this one!  I thought it was too cute to pass up.  It was the only trio...a lot of them only had one in a pot, and they were the same size as one of these ones!  That didn't seem worth it at all.

From Daiso I also bought a frog planter.  I'm waiting until I find something good to put in it!  I also want the pig one, so I hope they'll restock it.  I might get the panda if I see it!

Relaxus - himalayan salt tea light holder:  $1.71 @ London Drugs (RSP:  $5.99)

I've seen these at winners for a long time, but they're always around $10 or more.  The lowest one I saw was $9 on clearance.  I didn't really want to pay that much...at the time I was more interested in having a lamp.

Well, now I'm obsessed with candles, and I want a candle holder over a lamp!  I saw that they were at London Drugs for $5.99, regular price!  That's so much lower than anywhere else I've seen.

Even on the manufacturer's website, they're $7.50 each!  I think that's the first time I've seen a retailer sell something below the manufacturer's suggested price.

Anyway, they only had a picture of the box on LD's website, and the one pictured didn't look very nice:

I saw there were four in stock at the one near me, so I decided to take a look.

Turns out there was such a variation!  One was huge...it was too big for the box!  I thought it was kind of unsightly, I didn't like it.

Another one was tiny...almost half the size of the one I ended up getting.  Two of them were the size and shape I wanted (roughly round), but one didn't have much colouring, so it was an easy choice.

I got $5 off by using my LD rewards birthday gift, so it ended up being an amazing deal!

It looks beautiful in use too.  It also came with a tea light candle, which wasn't the case with any of the other ones I've seen.  It only lasted around 3 hours, but no complaints for a free candle!

Glass cat water bottle:  $2.97 @ Thinka

Turns out this store has been open a month, but I never knew about it because I rarely go to that section!  It was advertised as a $2+ store...it reminded me a lot of minisou, except it was even smaller than that.

The only things I found worthwhile were the drinkware.  They had some cute cups that were $4-$5, but I didn't love any of them.

I loved this though!   I was so happy I found them, and for so cheap too.  I actually almost bought nearly the exact bottle online for $8...it was the same style, except a bunny.  This was a much better deal!

They had it in four colours...the other ones were aqua, then a light and dark purple.  I almost bought the blue one, but I thought I might as well see how good this one was first!

I hope they're the kind of store that gets a lot of turnaround.  If they only sell the same stuff all of the time I don't think I'd be that interested, but if they get new stuff in to replace sold out stuff that would be ideal.

Glass jar water dispenser: $4 @ Dollarama

This was such a good deal!  I've seen similar ones for $20-$40.  It's big...looks like it holds at least 4 liters.

This was the only one there, and I've never seen them anywhere else.  There's no sticker or labels anywhere either!

They had another glass water dispenser here a while back, but it was about half the size, and not as good.  The lid was plastic and you had to press a rubber button inside of the spout to get it to go...and it was reallly hard to push.  That's why I didn't get it.

This one you just need to flip up though, so it couldn't be easier!  I thought it was too big for my purposes, but it was just too good to pass up.

I ended up finding it at another store!  Turns out it holds 3.5 liters.

There's also another design, but I like mine better!  The other one just has some text, sort of a mason jar style.

Suede/leather sandals (RSP:  $29.99 - $99.95)

Snake skin sandals (RSP:  $49.99 - $139.95)

Suede heels (RSP:  $39.99 - $110)

3 for $5 (!!)

Belts 10 for $2.50 (!!) (RSP $9.99 - $55 each)

All  @ Le Chateau outlet

Finally!!  This location has been "closing down" for almost a year...now it'll close in three days so it's finally at the end.  The deals weren't very impressive before, but they were plain shocking today!

Almost all of the shoes left were leather or suede!  All of mine were.  Some were even made in Italy!

They had a table of mismatched pairs, but I didn't bother with any of those.  A lot of the suede shoes had one pair that was significantly faded...I have no idea why.  Mine is slightly different but I don't think it's that noticeable, especially compared to the rest.

Most of the belts retailed for $19.95, except for the following:

Crocodile belt:  $9.99

Gold belt: $9.99

Green bow belt:  $9.99 - $15

Big rectangular buckle belt:  $9.99 - $35

Wide leather belt:  $29.99 - $55

I wonder what deals I missed?  I kind of wish I started checking more often!  I remember a while back they had $5 suede boots...but they all looked discoloured at the toe, so I didn't buy any.
