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.

My samplesource package!  I was only supposed to get 5, so I was happy there were more.  The pills were from another company.

23 oz candles (blueberry pie, pumpkin pie, apple pie, peach pie):  $2.74 each (!) (RSP:  $10 each)
Pack of 18 tealights (gingered blackberry and chai latte):  $1.44 each (RSP:  $6 each)

I wanted to get more of those 3 wick candles, so I stopped in here.  I saw that those huge candles were unbelievably cheap, so I picked up one of each!  I was taking transit so I left the other ones I wanted behind..these were heavy!

Those tea lights were also pretty cheap (but didn't smell cheap!), but I left behind a "cheesecake" one that didn't smell like anything good.

Anyway, they all scanned in wrong and had to be price checked.  The huge candles were coming up at $5.97...the same price as the first superstore, but the signs were clearly there!  The tea lights were coming up at $3.67.

Well I ended up getting one of each for free, so the haul was even more of an amazing deal!  Oh happy day.

I still want to stock up on those 3 wick candles before the sale ends!

Glass cutting board

Glass jack o lantern candle holder

Jack o lantern lantern

Libbey star shaped bowl

Libbey heart shaped bowl

All $1.25 each @ Dollar tree

Except for the lantern which ended up being $.50!   I almost didn't buy it because it only had ONE LED bulb..I thought it'd be super dim and useless.  But it was just so cute I couldn't resist!  I'm glad it ended up being super cheap because it's worth it for that price.

Everything else was a planned purchase.  I saw that those bowls are $4.16US each on their official site!  That works out to around $5.25 Canadian each, which is a pretty good deal in comparison.  They're really thick and heavy.

I asked if they were food safe so we'll see.  They're virgin glass so I think they should be...researching online it seems that most glass is food safe.  Clear glass that hasn't been used for anything else should be anyway!

I really came for the candle holder, since I'm on such a big kick right now.  I could only find one that wasn't super sloppy.  I saw the exact same one at daiso later on!

I also wanted a smaller glass chopping board.  They had one without a picture, but it seemed boring in comparison.  They also had one with a picture of a cup of coffee, but I didn't like it that much.  I didn't see any of the rectangular ones, but I prefer the circular ones anyway.

Revele cleansing brush:  $4 @ Dollarama (RSP:  $14.99)

This was made by the same company as the other brush, but it's an even better deal because it comes with an extra head!  The colour's also much prettier.  I bought this one for my mom.

Fresh peach 9 oz candle:  $2.67 (RSP:  $4.49)
Passion fruit 9 oz candle:  $2.67 (RSP:  $4.49)
Green apple 9 oz candle:  $2.67 (RSP:  $4.49)
Vanilla bean 11 oz candle:  $2.97 (RSP:  $4.99)
Salted caramel 11 oz candle:  $2.97 (RSP:  $4.99)

All @ Superstore

It's such great timing!  Recently I've become obsessed with candles, and superstore just happened to have them for 40% off this week.

I've been looking around for affordable options, but I heard that all of the dollar store ones are universally crap.  Most of them smell horrible, but some are actually decent.  Still, for the price it didn't seem worth the try.

These ones are even cheaper in comparison!  Their store brand is usually better than dollar store junk, so I thought it was worth a try.  They all smell so great too, especially the last two.

I actually left one in a closed room and it ended up scenting the whole room!  I was excited the scent was that strong.  I wonder how long it'll last.

These were freebies for using flexdelivery!  I saw the infuser for around $7, and the lip gloss for $10!  It's in such a cute package.

There's also some nescafe coffee samples, and there were a bunch of promo codes for various stores, but I already recycled them.

$3.45 each (RSP:  $6.90 each)

$2.45 each (RSP:  $4.90 each)

All @ Forever 21

These were half off so I bought them on a whim.  I wanted the cat massager for the longest time!  The sale was on select beauty items, so not everything was included. 

Too bad!  There were some cute lip glosses I would have liked to have.

Larbee jelly owl container:  $5.99 (RSP:  ~$8)
Allplus:  "Rabbit story" carafe:  $3.99(RSP:  $4.99)

Both @ T&T

I just bought the jelly for the container.  I thought it was just so neat!  The jellly didn't end up being very good.

I wasn't sure about the carafe, but it has this adorable bunny relief on it...it was a bit more than I wanted to pay and only a dollar off, but I bought it in the end.

Claudia1 crossbody in cream/platina:  $23.99 @ Naturalizer (RSP:  $129)

I wanted this for a while, but I was waiting for it to go down.  It was finally at a decent price with an extra 20% off and free shipping, so I had to get it!

I wanted this one in snake print too:

But stupidly, it was $10 more.  I was waiting for it to go down but now it's sold out.  Too bad!  I liked it better than the one I got.
