Plush mermaid blanket:  $5 @ Bluenotes (RSP:  $29.99)

I thought these were neat, but I didn't want to pay that much.

This was  totally what I wanted to pay!  I saw that it was only $3 on the website, but you had to pay $5 for shipping. 

I didn't know if they'd offer free shipping before it was sold out so I decided to take the plunge.

Cat ear toque:  $2 (RSP:  $9.99)
Zoo York neoprene gloves:  $3 (RSP:  $34.99)

Both @ Bluenotes.

Impulse buys but practical!  I was surprised those gloves retailed for so much.  I though they'd be useful since I don't have any other gloves made from that material.

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.

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!

TMNT hoodie:  $10 @ Bluenotes (RSP:  $39.99)

A bit more than I wanted to pay, but I thought it was worth it!  I saw the exact same one for $65 here!  It's definitely the most intricate TMNT hoodie I've seen.

The belt is another layer, plus the chest and shell are actually padded.  The mask is a separate layer too!  

There was a onesie there as well, but it didn't seem as worth it.  Everything was just printed on...plus it was clearly for a guy so it would have been too oversized.  That would have been $10 too.

If I see one in a small, maybe I'll pick it up too!

Striped tees/tank:  $2 each (RSP:  $9.99 each) @ Bluenotes

Pretty disappointing!  The sales were the same as any other day...these were the only decent deals around.

Not as good as the things I got at Sirens, but $2 is alright for basics like these.

Snoopy fleece hoodie:  $2.50 (RSP:  $29.99)
TMNT raglan dress:  $2.50 (RSP:  $19.99)

Both @ Bluenotes

Pretty sure both are supposed to be sleep shirts, but I sized down so I can wear them out!  Not sure if the hoodie will work, but the other one definitely will.

Poncho sweater $2.33 (RSP:  $29.99)
Girls shaker rib tunic in natural:  $2.33 (RSP:  $29.99)
Girls shaker rib tunic in wine:  $2.34 (RSP:  $29.99)

All @ Bluenotes

Such a great deal!  I have a ton of sweaters, but most of them aren't very long.  These are dress length, plus they have hoods, so they were totally worth picking up.

They're still on the site:



I wish I sized down!  The ones I got weren't very form fitting.

Elf in training hoodie:  $1.81
Chunky heel boots with side zip tie:  $1.81

Both @ Bluenotes

Crazy deals!  They were actually $5 each, but I saw they recently started offering the coupon.

Then I paid with a gift card, so it ended up being super cheap.  Hooray!

*edit*

My pair didn't have a price tag, and I forgot to check...but turns out they're still on the website for $20, and they retailed for $54.99!!  That's pretty high for that store.


You can see how high it is from the back!


I'm surprised it costs so much more on the website.

3 pack of socks:  $6.99 @ Bluenotes
Pink gingham backpack:  $3 @ Dollarama

I forgot to take a picture of the backpack separately, but it's the standard style they all are.  I wanted one for when I was riding my bike...it's way more convenient than a purse!

I checked around for a while, and decided I liked this one the best.  I did see a pink plaid one that I almost bought, but I didn't because that one looked really worn.

I'm glad I didn't get that one, because this one's way better!  The other one was a stiff, cheap feeling nylon, while this one's a satin kind of material.


I only bought the socks for a mystery shop.  Stupidly, they didn't have anything on sale in the store!!  I've never seen that before.  These were the cheapest things I could see myself using, so I got them.

Luckily I noticed that they accepted returns on full price products, so I ended up returning this the next day.

Striped maxi dresses:  $5 each @ Bluenotes (RSP:  $10 each)

I was always tempted to buy these at full price.  They were just so reasonable for full price!  For most stores, that's the sale price.

Anyway, I was sure they'd go on sale someday, so I'm happy I waited.  I just hope the plaid one I was eyeing goes on sale soon!

Crochet tulip shorts:  $5 each @ Bluenotes (RSP:  $20 each)

I went to another location and noticed they had these colours.  The design is so pretty, I had to have it in every shade!

Girls Crochet Tulip Front Elastic Waist Short in cream and black:  $5 each @ Bluenotes (RSP:  $20)

The website actually shows that as their regular price!  Normally they show the original price if the item has been discounted, so who knows.  But in stores, they were marked at $20, on sale for $10!

Luckily they ended up being the same price as the website.  I thought they were so pretty, I don't have any shorts in this style.  The exact same ones are $31 at Charlotte Russe!

Zip front jeggings:  $6 @ Bluenotes (RSP:  $29.50)

I don't have any jeans that fit me, and this was a decent price.  I haven't seen any $5 pairs in a long time, and those were mostly unflattering.

These ones actually look good on me, so I'm glad I got them.  They were the only ones there!

Fox print fleece pajama pants:  $5 @ Bluenotes (RSP:  $10)
Leopard print fleece pajama pants:  $2.50 @ Urban Planet (RSP:  $12.50)

I'm glad I didn't bother to go back earlier!  They still had some of the fox pants I was considering last time.  My mom bought them for me this time, so that was nice.

The leopard ones were such a great deal!  They were on a 80% off rack.  There were some $1.60 t shirts I was considering, but now I'm glad I didn't get them.

Fleece pajama pants:  $5 each @ Bluenotes (RSP:  $10 each)

I don't normally like cute/tacky prints, but I'm pretty lenient when it comes to pajama pants.  But more than that, I bought them because they're so thick and plush!  I've never felt pajama pants this soft and comfortable, but I don't really look for them either.

They only had one left of each of these prints.  The unicorn one is very my little pony-esque.  

There was a fox one I was eyeing, but I liked these ones better.  I might get it if they still have it there the next time I go.

UK2LA - Knee high black boots:  $5 (RSP:  $30)
UK2LA - Brown combat boots:  $5 (RSP:  $30)


Cropped shirts:  $1 each (RSP:  $6 each)
Sleeveless shirts:  $1.50/$1 (RSP:  $6 each)
Pink lace trimmed leggings:  $1.50 each (RSP:  $7 each)

All @ Bluenotes

I wonder how long this sale is going on!  Every time I go back, they have more stuff.  I'm tempted to go back again just in case.

The clothes were on a $1.50 rack, but I noticed that half of them were marked at $1.  I kind of assumed that all of them would be $1, but the cashier said that they would be the price marked.

I decided to pass on the white sleeveless shirt because of that...but when I checked the receipt, they were indeed $1 each!

After I paid I also found the black knee high boots, so I decided to buy the white shirt again.  Ironically, that one actually was $1.50!  I probably wouldn't have bought it if I knew it would actually be that price.  It's the principle of it!

$5 each (RSP:  $15 - $30 each)

All @ Bluenotes

Bluenotes is really surprising me these days!  I never thought they'd be so cheap.  This was even cheaper than last weekend!  

I'm also surprised that they restocked everything.  I mean, they had completely different stock.  They had so many shoes out!  I thought they were all sold out, last time they only had 3 pairs out...none this style.

I really only went out to check out toys at Target - I wasn't going to go here!  For some reason I did, and I'm sure glad I did.

It was totally packed, and for good reason!  All of the tees at the bottom were for my brother.  I really wish I sized up for my tees, but I thought they looked big enough.

I was most interested in that comic book tee.  Turns out it's a real comic book from the 50's!  In the public domain, which is probably why it ended up there.  One of his catchphrases is "By space this will not stand!," which totally cracks me up.

It was so crazy, everything I put back was gone right after I hung it onto the rack!  

I kind of want to go back on the weekend.  I wonder if they'll have more stuff out?  

I'm kind of stocked up on flat boots (yay!), but I'd totally be open to more.  Especially black over the knee boots in that style!

They're so flattering, and shockingly, they fit me!  The other ones are also really comfortable because they're wide.

There was actually another combat boot I was eyeing.  It was a way better brand and had a heavier sole that was a sandy colour.  The upper was black too.  

It was heavier and better quality in general, but it just looked kind of ugly.  It was really huge and unsightly!  This one was more streamlined, so that clinched it. 

Someone actually almost took those shiny black ones before me, but thankfully they decided to put it back.  I saw it first, but I didn't feel like carrying it around.  I was going to double back for it, but I'll never do that again!

Bluenotes - Jessica jeans (RSP:  $10 - $29.50)
UK2LA - Caramel brown studded flat boots (RSP:  $10 - $40)

$5 each @ Bluenotes

I didn't know it, but this mall was having a sidewalk sale...I'm glad I came!  I needed both of these things.  I thought the boots were $10, but I was surprised and happy that they scanned in at half that.  What a great deal!

Coral red zippered skirt
Brown zippered skirt

$2 each @ Bluenotes (RSP:  $6 each)

You can't really see it in the photo, but these are ribbed.  Just can't say no to cheap skirts that have some sort of design on them.

I did pass by two of them, since they were similar colours to ones I already bought.

The $3 ones I bought from Sirens are way better quality, these ones are a bit flimsy.  I definitely wouldn't have paid more than $2 each for them.  I can't believe their regular price was so low!
