Mirror mirror - Leopard print umbrella x 2 (RSP:  $14.90 each)



Snake print canvas shopper (RSP:  $14.90)

$4.20 each @ Ricki's

I've wanted a leopard print umbrella for a while, but I couldn't find any that were sturdy enough or cheap enough.  These fit the bill!

I actually ordered one for $5 (plus $1 shipping), but I bought two more when they were 30% off...then returned the first.  Everything ended up being $3.50 each, plus the $2 I spent altogether on shipping.

The snake print bag wasn't very worth it in retrospect, but I liked the print.

The very day I picked it up, I saw that urban planet was selling the exact same umbrella for only $8.90!!  That's shocking. That was their regular price, whereas Ricki's regular price is $6 more.  Same maker and everything!

Reusable Beauty and the beast bag
Kitchen scissors
2 drawer storage x 3
Ceramic squirrel salt and pepper shakers

$1.25 @ Dollar tree

I was looking for those cube organizers, but they didn't have them here.  I hope I can find them elsewhere!  The size I want seems hard to find.

I also bought two 11 x 14 frames to make this with that folder I got from dollarama:


Lighting's not great, but I like how it turned out.

Bumkins - Wonder woman mealtime set:  $3 (RSP:  $19.99 - $25)

This one really had nothing.  I found this way out of the way somewhere!  I'm glad I did.


It looks nice, but it's made out of melamine so I probably shouldn't use it.  Though..I'm not sure else I'd do though!

I saw a superman one last week, but it was still expensive and not as nice.

Sugar - Wedge sandals:  $3 (RSP:  $39.99 - $65)
Yoki - Denim sandals:  $1 (!) (RSP:  $39.99+)
Kate spade - snap happy - spark dish:  $2 (RSP:  $24.99 - $35)

All @ Winners

This barely had anything left either, but still some gems.  I was surprised about that Kate Spade dish!  It's completely perfect.  I've never seen anything designer that cheap before!

Love Mae - Woodland tea party bamboo dinnerware set:  $.50 (RSP:  $19.99 - $38)
Gefu - Spirelli spiralizer:  $1 (RSP:  ~$35)

Both @ Homesense

There was barely anything here, but everything was so cheap!  The tray is broken in the first set, but everything else is fine.  The spiralizer looks completely fine!  It doesn't seem to be missing anything either.


Angie - high/low dress:  $3 (RSP:  $29.99 - $40)

Henry Ferrera - paco link sandals:  $3 (RSP:  $19.99-$36)

All @ Marshalls

I don't know why they opened this store.  It's pretty much another winners!  I've seen the same merchandise sold at both, plus the stores are besides each other in this location.

Monteau - Wrap top:  $2 (RSP:  $19.99 - $32)
Liberty love - Lace shirt:  $5 (RSP:  $19.99 - $28)
Marika- balance collection pants:  $3 (RSP:  $19.99 - $25)


Muse - Greek amazon in aegean sandals:  $3 (RSP:  $29.99 - $50)
Braid - Falkland sneaker in grey and black:  $7 each (RSP:  ~$333 each!)

All @ Winners

I was so surprised by the price of those sneakers!  Winners had them at $99.99, their compared to price was $200+.  The website has them at $260US which converts to a pretty hefty price!

They're good quality, but I just wasn't expecting that.

Xscape - beaded mermaid dress:  $9 (RSP:  $149.99 - $200 - $400!)


Lacoste sport tank:  $3 (RSP:  $39.99 - $85)

Razzle dazzle - Blue tank dress:  $3 (RSP:  $16.99 - $25)

All @ Winners

I wasn't sure what to expect, but luckily this location had some decent stuff left.  I'm so in love with that mermaid dress!  It's beautifully made and a total steal.

This dress by the same brand seems pretty similar, except the beading is different:


Upon further searching, I managed to find the exact same dress I bought!

Crystal globe lamp:  $3 (!) @ Winners (RSP: $ 34.99 - $39.99+)

The same one I got the mirrored dresser from.  I almost didn't buy it, but I'm glad I did.  The light bulb socket was loose so I thought it didn't work....I'm sure everyone else felt the same, which is why it went so low.

Surprisingly, it does work!  I really only bought it to steal the lamp shade and topper though.  I finally finished my old lamp and I'm so pleased:


I'll keep the other one too, but now it needs a lampshade!

Mirrored dresser:  $55 @ Winners (RSP:  $399)

I was so happy!  I saw this when it was $150, and I was hoping it would still be here at the end.  It has some chips but I don't think they looked too bad.  

I replaced the knobs.  They used to be pull rings, which I didn't like too much.

It's hard to tell the size, but it's bigger than a night table, but smaller than a standard dresser.

I also saw a night table for $25...the cheapest I've ever seen!  



But it was sooo broken, even I didn't want it.  It doesn't look so bad in the picture, but in person, it was really distracting!  Just about the whole thing needed to be replaced.  I wonder how low it ended up selling for.

They also had this perfect table for only $40!  


But I like all mirrored things and I had no room for it.  Still, a great deal for someone!

Hot Wheels - Ghostbusters classic 2 pack:  $4 @ Dollarama (RSP:  ~$10)

Finally!  I've wanted these for a while, but I've only seen them at one store.  I checked so many before finding it!


Retail's only about $10, which is reasonable enough.  But...why pay $10 when you can get it for $4?

Cat shaped mug:  $3.97
Sterilite 121 L tote:  $12.88

Both @ Walmart

And both regular price, but they seemed reasonable enough.

The cup had a lot of flaws, but it was the last one left.  I wasn't sure if I would find it again so I had to get it!


I hope I find one in better condition.  Mine is really sloppily painted...there's even a line coming out of the nose!  The one in the picture looks so much better.

Airtight tape x 2
Animal magnets
Heart push pins
Vegetable peeler

$2 each @ Yokoyaya

Finally!  I've been waiting for that insulation foam to come back for a long while.

The magnets are surprisingly good.  They're pretty strong and useful too!

Ghostbusters classic figures:  $4 each (RSP:  $30 each)
Dog magnets:  $1.25
Flamingo lights:  $4

All @ Dollarama

I heard people in Toronto had been finding those ghostbuster figures, but I didn't really think they'd make it over here so fast.  I was so surprised to find them!  They only had one Egon, so I was glad I found them when I did.

The others are things I've been considering buying for a while, but didn't for one reason or another.  I thought I could find the magnets online for even cheaper, but I actually couldn't.
