Bargain Hunting

I love bargain shopping, yes I am frugal and without remorse. Especially when I find deals like this. I do try to plan my spending but sometimes I just can't pass up a good deal. I was in Tuesday Morning "browsing" when I found these beautiful items. The stamps were 99 cents, that is crazy cheap. Did I mention I work/teach occasionally at my local stamp store, I know this was crazy cheap.

I heard this once "A bargain is something you don't need at a price you can't pass up" I was amazed by the clarity and truth in it. I agree I don't need any of this. What we do need is love, shelter, food and drink; all the rest is icing on the cake. So here is where I will remind myself that while I don't need what I bought, I will appreciate it and give it usefulness.
The details: Stamps 3 @ 99cents, stacked ink pads 2 @ $1.99, set of paper ribbon rolls $1.99. Seriously beautiful things at a great price that is my kind of shopping.
Are you a bargain shopper? If so where are your favorite haunts...inquiring minds want to know.

I am a bargain hunter - and my favorite hot spots are Saver's (thrift store), The Dollar Store and Michael's because they give you SO many coupons. It pays to dig in the clearance bins, I just got 22 5" wooden letters at Joanne's for $.50 each! I spent $11 on what will be my new sign for craft fairs! I was so excited.

Wow Rhiannon that was a good bargain hunting day! I am in the dollar store more than I should admit too, no really my job takes me there, seriously...

Thanks for following my blog.

Angie, I wonder how it is that we are sisters! I read your blog and love your creations...but I'm not nearly as talented with the crafty stuff as you (and Stacy). If I'd seen those stamps and ribbons at the store I surely would have passed them up in a nano-second. I'm a little jealous.

Oh, I so relate! I'm a bargain hunter and it feels like a drug when I hit deals such as these you got. I visit thrift shops a lot for bargains to use in my art and of course I never miss any clearance at any store. My eyes seem to be trained to focus on those red clearance tags!
