Rose tealight holders
Seashell lip gloss

$1.25 each @ Dollar tree

I wanted lotus tealight holders, and these are the closest I can find for a reasonable price!

I also got the lip gloss in blue later on.

Boston america - hello kitty candy sours:  free @Superstore (RSP:  $3.99+)

I thought this was super overpriced, but I saw some sellers asking $5.99!  It was just too cute I couldn't resist.

I was going to use my points to get it free, but it scanned in the wrong price so it was free anyway!

They also had these ones there for $4.18.  The same price mine scanned at!  They're cute, but not for that price.

Hello kitty princess plush:  $5 off Varagesale

Seller's photo.  Research shows it's from 2005, but I couldn't find much info on her.

I just love all her pearls and her pretty crown.  The seller wanted $10 at first, but she lowered the price because it had some stains.

She looks kind of dingy even after a wash so I don't feel that excited about her.

Lamb planter:  $1.99 @ Talize

Put out the same day!  The face could be better, but I thought it was cute overall.

Dog and cat pens:  $1.25 each @ Dollar Tree

Finally found the other colours!

Sample source freebies!  I actually woke up early to got these...I was bummed that I only got half of what was available, despite being there when it launched.

Fiesta - 26" hello kitty circus animal plush:  $2.99 @ Salvation army.

It had a gross stain on it, but it was so cheap I thought I'd try to get it out.

I put it in the wash and it's a lot better.  They also had a huge bad badtz maru in perfect condition for only $4.99, but I wasn't interested.

The head is huge!  About the size of a standard bed pillow.

The tag said there were 4 circus animals in total for this size.  I found two on eBay:





 Pretty cute!  There were six types for the smaller ones:

I wonder which is the fourth large design.

Huge vintage Japan piggy bank:  $5.99 @ Value village.

With the small one for comparison!   This is the biggest one I've ever seen.

I assumed it would be marked stupidly high, so I was shocked that it was so low!  I expected it to be at least $20.

I've seen vintage pigs before, but they were always off somehow.  Either not that cute or too expensive.

I finally got the small one to match this one.  I think the smaller one is much cuter...the proportions are better somehow.

Vintage Japan piggy bank:  $3.99 @ Salvation army.

I actually saw this here for around a month.  It felt like the right time to buy it so I did.

They had it grouped with these other vintage Japanese pigs:

The cookie jar was $9, and the other pig was $4.  I didn't think they were as cute as the one I got.

Hello kitty plush backpack:  $12 off Varagesale

For some reason I thought this would be bigger.  It ended up being tiny in person!  Like 9 or 10 inches.

I saw similar ones that were 15-16 inches so I thought this would be the same.

I think this one's worth $5, so I wish I didn't pay that much!

It was new with tags and I saw the regular price was $19.50, so not much of a discount.

Oh well.  Live and learn!  At least it's cute.

Mock neck swing dresses:  $4.49 each @ Forever 21

Can't say no to a dress under $5!

Pink buckle rain boots:  $10.47 @Ardene (RSP:  $34.90)

I thought they were so adorable, and the price was OK.  Free shipping too, so I jumped on it!

1964 bubble cut Barbie:  $2.99 @ Talize (just put out today!)

I couldn't believe it when I saw this!  She was alone in there...usually they put a bunch of things in one bag.

Usually they would have put her in the case instead...for much higher.  But I'm glad they didn't.

I'll admit I came out today to check that Salvation Army again just in case there were more Blythes...there weren't, but this was worth the trip!

Unicorn notebook:  $1.25 @ Dollar tree

Just couldn't resist.

"Dainty biscuit" Blythe doll:  $14.99 @ Salvation Army

I was really surprised to see this today!  I saw it from far away and assumed it was one of those cheap knockoffs.  Imagine my surprise when she ended up being real!

They had her with the good stuff behind the cash register, so I wonder how they determined the price.  I think it's kind of high for something from there, but of course way low considering how much she's worth.

I can't find any recent auctions but the new ones are all being sold for around $400+!  Well, I haven't seen them sell at that price so I don't know what she goes for.  I'm sure she'd be at least $100 in this condition.

But....my last one was complete with box and I only paid $7 for that one.  Doesn't seem as good a deal in comparison :P.

She has a hair cut and someone cut off her pull ring too!  The string is just about shoulder height.  I really don't see who would give a kid a doll this expensive.

Well, she's mine now, and I'm glad.  Now if I could only find a Kenner!

Hello Kitty lantern light night light:  $2.99 @ Talize (RSP:  $19.99+)(13 days!)

I thought this would just be a plain light, so it was a pleasant surprise.  The plastic feels really cheap so I was surprised it retailed for so high.  I was also surprised it was on the floor so long!  It's a reasonable price and looks new.

There was also a nude blip hello kitty doll for $3.99, but it had been drawn on with marker all over!  I thought that was way too high for the crappy condition it was in so I left it.  It did have the shoes...I would have paid $2 for it.  Maybe if it's around during the next half off sale.

Russel Stover easter chocolates:  $.25 each @ Dollar Tree (RSP:  $1.25 each)

I usually don't buy dollar store chocolate, but I tried these before at wal mart and thought they were good.  At that time I paid $3.47 for a pack of four 85 gram bunnies.

They were half off at that price.  I wanted to buy more when they were 70% off, but I wasn't sure if there would be any left.  

So I couldn't resist buying these ones today!  I bought 8 of the 37 g bunnies and 3 of the mini bunnies.   

I'm more excited for the mini bunnies...what a great idea!  That's adorable and health conscious!  I haven't seen them anywhere else.

If I find them at any more dollar trees, I might be tempted to get those too..

Lip smackers spider man lip balm:  $2.84 (RSP:  $5.99)
Con air 3d wink pouch:  $4.94 (RSP:  $12.99)

Both @ Superstore.

I used my free bread pricing gift card, so I only paid $.29 out of pocket for this stuff and a bunch of groceries!

Hello Kitty instax camera:  $49.87 (RSP:  $129.99)

I knew about it for a while but didn't want it until now.  At this point they were all selling for $124, even though I knew they were clearanced at $70 a year ago.

I tried looking around for a deal but they were all expensive.  Then I noticed that there was a "used" one on amazon for roughly half the price...$66.85.

Of  course I didn't want a used camera, but I saw it was from "amazon warehouse deals."  I had never heard of them before, but it turns out it's amazon's dented boxes/returns/other merchandise that can't be called "new."

The condition was described as "used, good."  They said there was a small imperfection to the front of the camera body and that the box was damaged, so it sounded like a box that was dropped.

I was really worried it wouldn't work, that it was worse than described, or if it was a return, that all of the accessories were gone...but since I couldn't find a deal anywhere else I decided to take a chance.  Since it is from amazon directly, it would be easy to return.

Well, when it came today, I didn't know what to expect.  But it turns out all of the accessories are included and everything looks new!  The accessories were all untouched.  There's hardly any damage to the box either...just a little crease to one of the corners, it's not even a dent.

Speaking of boxes, I got the international version.  Even the box is adorable!  The design is much better than the one that was sold here.

On the camera itself, I can't even see any damage!  I have no idea why this was sold as "used."  I wouldn't have batted an eye if I saw this on shelves in person!

So thank goodness it worked out and now I have the cutest camera ever.  I bought some accessories off aliexpress (a selfie mirror, filters, and a clear case) so I'm looking forward to getting those.  I think it looks even cuter in the clear case:

Makes it look more like a toy somehow.

The mirror was just too cute, I couldn't resist:

I got the white one.  There's actually already a mirror on the camera, but this one's so adorable on!

I had a  $25 gift certificate from doing surveys, so it cost me $49.87 total including tax!  That's definitely the best deal you can get nowadays.

When I was doing research, I saw they were being clearanced at Staples for only $30-$40 in January 2017!  That would have been an amazing deal.

Blip hello kitty safari doll:  $4

I bought this off of varagesale.  It was the first time I've used the site..I wish it was easier to search for things on there.
