KidsKraft elephant tape dispenser:  $2
100 heart shaped push pins:  $2
Poodle utensil set:  $2
"Wild west marksman" accessory set:  $3

All @ Yokoyaya

Just like Daiso, except way smaller.  They don't tend to always carry the same stuff either...I suspect the things here are older.  Still, it's better that way.

This one also carries a lot more English merchandise, but at a higher markup.  If I found that elephant dispenser elsewhere, it would probably be $1.25!  But it was so neat, I had to have it...even though I really don't like that colour.  They didn't have any others, and I didn't think they'd be restocked.

The cowgirl set was an afterthought.  I just really liked that pink gun!  It has a neat cow relief on the handle.  They actually have two different sets, and I'll probably buy the other one when I go back...the gun in that one is for the opposite hand.

Secret wishes - Wire print tights:  $1.23 (RSP:  $4.92)
Metallic gold hockey mask:  $1.23 (RSP:  $4.92 - $8.29 (!))

Both @ Wal mart.

75% off Halloween stuff!  Last year, it was only 50% off for the longest time.  By the time it was that high off, there was barely anything left, so I'm glad they started earlier this year.

Not extraordinary deals, but I thought they were pretty neat.  I'd definitely use the tights...for Halloween...and maybe in my every day life!  There were some more that I was considering, but I didn't think they were as versatile as these ones.

The mask...I don't think I'll ever wear it, but I love shiny chrome things.  I thought I might use it as a decoration of sorts.

A better picture of it:


Also shown is the glow stick gun I left behind.  It would have been $.50.  I thought the concept was neat, but that it wasn't worth it in the end.

Leopard costume set:  $14.50 @ Dinodirect (RSP:  $46.53)

I got this a while ago but forgot to post it.  It's actually just as nice as the picture, I was worried about the quality.

The problem-the corset's too small!  Due to the style, you really can't undo any of the laces, and I was already sizing up just in case!

It's disappointing, but I really don't feel like buying another set just for that.  I'll probably just alter it to fit the next time I feel crafty.

Red quilted purse:  $5.27
Long bow gloves:  $2.10
Long gathered gloves:  $1.99
Stewardess costume:  $3.25

All off Ebay.

I kind of wish I paid less for the gloves since I saw them cheaper later on-oh well, they're gorgeous anyway.

I thought I might have been able to wear the costume as a top, but it turns out it has gold lame accents..I don't think it's going to work out.

The bag arrived damaged so the seller refunded me.  Since they shoved it in an envelope, it came flattened with a big crease in the front...I don't really think it's usable anymore..

Beer maid costume:  $5.50
Plaid lingerie set:  $2.54

Both off Ebay.  The next time I see a costume for sale, I'll have to remember that most of them are crap quality-this one was decent, aside from the 'corset' detailing.

The costume was a total disappointment-I bid on a random auction, and they ended up sending me the worst one there.  The purple lingerie set was also worse quality than I expected-I really wish I didn't pay so much.

The red corset dress, on the other hand, is gorgeous!  I'm really happy with it.  I just wish I got it when it was only $8.50 a few weeks ago..I didn't notice until I looked at the buyer history.   It was still a bit more than I wanted to pay, but I've been watching it for over a year so I decided to splurge.

I ended up buying two more in black and white from their website for just about the same price so I'm looking forward to that.

Secretary lingerie:  $5.06 @ Ebay

I thought it was kind of cheap when I took it out of the package, but it's incredibly flattering on!  The skirt is way too short to wear in public, but I think the top is pretty workable.

The nightie was a nice surprise-it's not as sheer as most of the other ones.  Pretty much everything in this lot was better than expected.

Lace slip set:  $5.60
Black lingerie set:  $2.75
White lingerie set:  $2.52

All off Ebay.

I'm really kicking myself for buying the first one-it was so much worse than expected!  I didn't think it would be sheer..this was the auction picture:


But it's really cheap and crappy in person.  I don't think I would have paid more than two bucks for it if I knew what it actually looked like....

Same with this one:


I paid $6.97-big mistake!  It does look as pictured, except it's just cheap costume quality.  I would rather have bought a $5 dress from Winner's clearance that I passed up, it's way better than this one and it would have been cheaper!

Oh well, lesson learned.  I'm only going to spend a few bucks on clothing I find on Ebay..
