Teacup piggies  - Lacey:  $1.99

Alexis - NWT Pale peach blazer:  $7.99 (RSP:  $185)

Both @ Value Village

Too bad there weren't more toys at this one!  I kind of wonder if I should have bought any teacup piggies new, I've been finding so many secondhand ones for only $2 each!  Most of them (except the light coloured ones) look unplayed with.

This one is a colour I don't have, plus it has a very cute feature...there's a heart around its eye!  And on its butt!  The price was sure right too.  I found a really exaggerated promo picture of it:

Of course, the hearts aren't as pronounced in real life.  You can't see anything in my picture, but I found this good picture on amazon:

 

Adorable!  I've never even seen this one before, which makes me wonder just how many pigs are out there.  I wonder if there are more with hearts around their eyes?  It's just too bad there aren't any good resources for this toy line!

The blazer was an afterthought.  It's a bit snug on me right now, but the design was just so nice.  It has slanted buttonholes!  I've never seen that before.

The fit is also very flattering, plus it was new with tags.  It's also this really gorgeous peachy white colour.  It was too unique to leave behind!  It's just that I hate paying full price.

Liv - Moonlight Dance Daniella doll:  $2.99

Teacup piggies - Hightop:  $1.99

Both @ Value Village

That doll had some neat accessories and a two toned wig, so I thought she was worth picking up at that price.  She's not wearing her stock dress, but other than that she seems complete.

I've never seen any brown pigs (nor do I have any), so I couldn't resist for that price.  I wonder if I should just return my new ones, I've seen so many used ones now!

Of course, the lighter ones always look so dingy.  Plus, they don't come with their teacups!  Some of them might have ended up in the dishware section, but I always forget to look there.

Roper - Leather military jacket:  $20 (RSP:  $275+)

Teacup piggy:  $2.99 

Both @ Value Village

The belt was $3 at Penny Pincher:

$1 more than their other belts, but well worth it!  The original price sticker of $45 was still on it!  I wonder how old this belt is.  I don't know if it's ever been worn!

I didn't have high hopes for this Value Village, I haven't found any decent doll there in ages!  Surprisingly, I have found a lot of teacup piggies there.  There was even another one today, but it was priced at $3.99 for some reason.  Also, it was a colour I had so there was no point in buying it.

This one's way different than the other ones I have.  It must be a really early one because it says things my other ones don't.  The pig noises sound more realistic too...I prefer this one!

This one and the other one I picked up look new too, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it.  I have passed up two other used pigs already!  They just looked too beat up.

I'm pretty happy about the jacket.  It looks great on!  It has a lot of pretty pleated details that don't show up.  The leather is just so stiff though, I wish it were softer!  It doesn't look or feel like it's ever been worn.

I almost passed it up too!  When I saw it on the rack, for some reason, I wasn't very excited about it.  Thank goodness I came to my senses and tried it on!  Once I did, it was a no-brainer.

Teacup piggies - Snowmobile set (white and beige pigs):  $4.98 each (RSP:  $20+ each)

Lalaloopsy littles - Fiery Flame doll:  $11.47 (RSP:  $22.99)

Both @ Toys r us

I came for the littles!  Once I heard that every Lalaloopsy item was half off at toys r us, I made the rounds to see what I could find.  Well, sadly, this is the only one I wanted.  There are two more I want to check out, but I'm not too hopeful about it.

This location was the only one I ever saw the snowmobile sets at though.  The last time I checked, they were $15...so regular price was probably around $30.  I did see them on the US walmart site for $20, so I'm sure they were more here.

Which is why I was surprised to see them for $5 each!  I couldn't say no at that price.

They also had a dark pink mom/baby set that I didn't already have, but I couldn't bring myself to pay $10 for it after seeing this. 

Here's hoping I find more littles!  I never thought toys r us would ever be this cheap.  I'd like to find bundles snuggle stuff and a few others.  They sure have a bunch of the mimes every where I go!

I also wanted to buy the workshop dolls, but I didn't want to carry so much stuff around.  I saw them at every place I went, so I didn't think they'd be hard to find.  People don't seem to like them very much.  I just hope the ones I want are still at the other ones!

I was planning on just ordering online if I couldn't find them, but turns out shipping isn't exactly free.  It's only $20 off, which is stupid.  I'd have to pay $7 more, so I might as well just go to my store and pick them up instead!

Teacup Piglets:  $2.98 each (RSP:  $9.98)

La dee da - Bun's closet figure - Top hat & Tails:  $.98 (RSP:  $7.98)

Both @ Toys r us

I was worried they might be sold out, but thankfully, they still had all of them left!  I ended up buying one of every colour they had left.  

I didn't notice it before, but these ones have replaceable batteries!  6 out of 7 of my other ones didn't, which is why I thought all of them were like this.  

Even though those ones were half the price, these are a better value. The other ones will be pretty boring once their batteries die out!

I ended up picking up a La Dee Da wiener dog figure.  The outfit reminded me of tuxedo mask's from sailor moon, and for a dollar, why not.  

I can't believe the retail price was $8!  That's the kind of things they normally include with dolls...and I've gotten the dolls as low as $5.

The figure is super poorly painted too, worse than any I've seen for a non-dollar store line.  The promos are totally misleading, they had a ton there, and none of them were remotely close.  What were they thinking with that retail price??

It turns out they have a bunch of different ones, but mine only had this version.  I would have loved to find this one:

That's genius!

I'm starting to get really disappointed in this location - I hardly ever find anything good!  Gas is way cheaper in this area though, so I've been coming weekly to fill up.

I was happy about the teacup piggy.  I've always wanted a black one, but I could never find one in stores!  I wish he had his teacup, but for this price, no complaints.  He looks new!

I probably shouldn't have bought the furreal cat.  It's animatronic...meows, blinks, and moves it's legs and tail!  For $2, I couldn't help myself.  It's too bad it doesn't walk, I'm sort of regretting my purchase now.

I don't normally buy crappy seasonal stuff, but since I'm so big on pigs lately, it seemed right.  It oinks when you press it down...and it's realllly loud!  But I thought it was also adorable so I bought it.

Turns out it's from this season!  I saw one at walmart for $1.75 when it was half off.  Those ones were all broken though (the stand was missing from all two I bought!).

I saw a frog, and some other designs, but this was the best.  It was made by regal here, and their candy sucks so I didn't miss out on anything.  I would happily pay $1 just for the container, I don't think I would have found it at any of them for 75% off.

Found a tiny picture of them online:

The cow's pretty cute!  I probably would have bought him too, if I saw him.  Easter themed ones in the same style:

It's that cow again!  Gotta say, it makes more sense for Easter.  I don't like the other ones at all though...their heads seem a bit oddly proportioned.

Just like with the novi stars, these were clearanced once more!  Everything I bought before was still there, so I returned my old ones and saved $20.  Yay!

I just wish I didn't throw away my receipt for the first two.  They were $6.98 down from $9.98!  Lesson learned.  I've kept this receipt just in case it goes down again!

Surprisingly, I like the min pigs a lot more than the full sized ones now.  They're just so cute, and the things they say aren't as annoying.

There are a few I didn't get because I thought I already had those colours, so hopefully they'll still be there when I go back.

I just noticed they have this funny warning on the inner flap:

I've never seen that before.  It seems silly too, since I know toys r us would accept it anyway.

Teacup Piggies - Jade and Ivory:  $7 for both

I found them on craigslist.  They ended up being in worse condition than expected...the seller said they were in excellent condition and rated them a 9/10.  Well, they both have weird red stains, so I would have rated them around a 6!

I'm annoyed, but the price was still decent considering.  These were older releases so I didn't think I could get them otherwise.  

I really had to go out of my way to pick them up, so I decided to make it a day of shopping.  That turned out pretty well!

It's just stupid that Ivory is exactly the same as Holly!  I really don't understand the point of giving them distinct names when the colours aren't.

This one even had the first two I bought!  But I'm glad I got the other ones when I did, otherwise I would have been overwhelmed today.  It was way too much to carry!

I'm really happy they had the piglet sets though.  I was thinking about ordering it online, but I'm glad I didn't.

They also had a purple set, but I already bought too much and I wasn't fond of the colour.  I prefer natural coloured pigs. 

I also passed up a purple coloured Zoe (the mom set would have been a better deal anyway), a pig named Crystal (had purple splotches that looked ugly), and the separate piglets, which were $5 each.  They work out to $2.50 each in the sets!

Granted, the single piglets had more interesting colouring, but I really don't think they're worth $5.  For $5 more, I'd rather have a full sized one!  Those are more worth it, even though the small ones speak too.

I was surprised about that Ollie.  The colouring was completely different from the first one I bought!  I think they should have named her something else in that case, especially since all of the phrases are the same as the other one.

Even worse, the teacups are exactly the same!  I'd rather not have a duplicate, especially since the pig looks like a completely different one.

Anyway, two more places to check out!  Let's see if they have any of the other colours I want.  I really want the grey, black, and caramel coloured ones!

I'm happiest about the spa set.  What a great price...even cheaper than the basic pigs, and it comes with a musical playset!  I think $15 was their last clearance price, the set had to be around $30!

The pig on the box is also a completely different one.  It's a blue one, but I'm glad it came with a natural pink looking pig instead.

Teacup Piggies - Ollie and Zoe:  $9.98 each  Toys r us (RSP:  $17.99 each)

I just found out about these adorable guys randomly...they were so adorable, I had to get them!

They remind me of Sylvanian Families figures...they're flocked and they have black bead eyes too.  I love how these ones are realistic, and the idea of them coming in tea cups is just the cutest thing ever!

They actually came out in 2010.  I'm surprised they're still in stores!  

Actually, I've only found them at Toys r us...and in the clearance section of course.  I'm just grateful that they're still here, they would have been so expensive if I had to buy them online.

I just wish they had pigs with more realistic colouring.  They do, but this store didn't have them.  Now I'm on a quest to get more!

I think $10 each is reasonable for them, but it's kind of annoying...the regular retail price is $13 in the US!  Actually, the regular price at target was $9.99!  Not a great deal in comparison.  I saw some people get them clearanced for $5 each, which would have been awesome.
