Long white rose print halter dress: $13.70 @ eBay (RSP: $20+)
Long grey ruched sleeveless dress: $12.98 @ aliexpress (RSP: $20+)
I've wanted both of these dresses for a long time, and they arrived at the same time!
I went through a mini ordeal getting the white one. I tried buying it two times off aliexpress - the first time the seller said it was out of stock, the second time it never arrived!
Even though they were cheaper on aliexrpess (as low as $11), I was tired of trying my luck on there. I waited a month for the second one! I was tired of all of the uncertainty so I ended up just buying it on eBay, even though it's more there. It's also now too cold to wear it, which totally sucks.
At least I can wear the other one anytime! Even though the idea is simple, the way it flows makes it look so elegant! I've seen it for $20+ elsewhere, so I was really happy to snatch it up at this price.
They also have a coral one, but I'll wait until it's on sale again before buying it.

Frosted glass bird candle holders: $1 each @ MCC Thrift Store
I do need candlestick holders, and I'm a sucker for birds. I thought these were quite pretty and I've seen similar ones go for $10 each!

Microwave chip maker set: $3.58 @ Buyincoins (RSP: $5+)
This ended up being great, except the blade is useless! I think it was put in backwards. Thankfully I had a mandolin so I could still use the set.
It only makes about 30 chips, but that's surprisingly filling. Even more surprising..the chips actually taste good! With or without oil, though I prefer the oil.
I saw a slightly bigger chip tray for $2.55, but I thought this was a better value because it came with a bunch more for only a buck more. I didn't really need the bowl or the blade, but I did need the hand guard...plus it all looks great together.
I just noticed it's now a dollar more, so I'm glad I bought it when I did.
I guess I should complain about the blade. I wonder if they'll do something about it?
I ended up buying one of the bigger trays since you can put a bunch in there at the same time.

Monster High - 13 wishes Lagoona - $14.97 @ Toys r us (RSP: $34.99)
These dolls practically just came out, so I was really surprised that Superstore had them on sale for only $14.97! At that time I only bought the roller maze dolls and the novi star in my last post, since they only had really messed up Lagoonas left.
I went to Toys r us to see if they had a better selection, and they did! Around 30 of them. It was so hard to choose!
I ended up getting this girl because her eyes were huge compared to the other ones, plus her paint was so heavy. The other ones seemed boring in comparison!
I wanted a Howleen, but neither of them had it. Then I saw that the crappy superstore did, so I really wish I went there during the sale.
Monster High - Roller Maze Abbey: $5.94 (RSP: $19.99)
Monster High - Roller Maze Clawdeen: $5.94 (RSP: $19.99)
Novi Stars - Tula Toned: $1.94 (!) (RSP: $22.99)
All @ Superstore
I love Superstore! This one anyway. I went to the other one and everything was still regular price!
I'm so glad I checked the novi star...I didn't expect her to be this low, but I was wondering if she was wrongly put in the clearance section.
I saw an una the last time I went, but I didn't bother to check it. Now I wish I had, especially if that one was $1.94 too! But at least I have this one, even though she's a double. Who can say no to a Novi Star under two bucks?
I'm also glad I didn't pick up that Operetta last time. I was so surprised to see these girls, and in the regular section to boot! It looked like they had opened at least 4 cases, so I was surprised they were still on clearance. Now I have the entire set for crazy cheap. Hooray!

Spenco Polysorb flow insoles: $3 @ Dollarama (RSP: $35!)
Leopard high heel inserts: $1.25 @ Dollar Tree
I almost didn't pick up the insoles...they didn't feel very soft or expensive when I inspected them. When I looked them up online, I was surprised they retailed for so much!
They're supposed to warm up your feet. I tried them on and they do work, and they're even comfortable despite being hard to the touch.
The leopard ones totally weren't worth it though. They don't even fit me, and they don't makes my heels any more comfortable! I wish I didn't buy them.

Monster High - Music Festival Venus doll: $10 @ Walmart.ca (RSP: $20+)
This totally surprised me. My first order only took about a week to arrive, but this one took 27 days! It took them 22 days to send it out...that's pretty unacceptable for any company, let alone a big one like them!
I actually made the complaint on the 22nd day...I wonder if I'd still be waiting for them to send it out if I didn't contact them..
Of course, this one came damaged too. When are they going to stop sending things unprotected in plastic bags???
I sent a complaint. Come on, the wait, and the damage? This is definitely the worst service I've ever had from an online retailer.
