Bargain Basement

I like tracksuit bottoms for when I am lounging about in the flat and just bought a pair for £4 and they are so lovely, and a true bargain!

What's the best bargain you have bought?

Well last Saturday I was at Hancock fabrics and I did't know that they were having a big sale I spent $39 and saved $50. I bought tons of beads as the packages were 75% off.

The problem I find with 'saving' money at sales is I buy a load of things that are cheap but which I don't really need! So have I saved or not?

a skirt that i wanted for ages reduced to five pounds!

Yeah! I suppose theres always that and the chance of the stuff you buying not 100% fitting properly yet you buy it cos it's a bargain!

You've been to Primark havent you!!

For me it was a pink vest top from Primark for £2.50

Going in on saturday as well with my neighbour because the new line for next season was starting to come in last saturday, so we might get an even bigger bargain!

An absolutely beautiful Italian crib for $124 instead of the usual selling price of $620. Only a year old and one scratch that I put there accidentally.

9 yards of autumn colored silk dupioni for my Tudor style gown 7.95/yard and it is like liquid sin.

Uh..... I dont know what my best bargain would be... but there's one thing I bought that I really like... its this manger made out of real wood.. it has a little platform on the left side... I use it in my lizard's tank I made hammocks out of an old scarf, and they sleep in and on them all the time.

I got Aerowyn for free could that be considered a good bargain?

Um.. I got a giant tacky picture of san francisco for a quarter. Its painted on velvet. O_O

Did I really need any of the beads no-but the price was too good to pass up -I think only like $12 of my bill was beads-I'll make inexpensive christmas bracelets for people!!

At a little antique store in The-Middle-Of-Nowhere Wyoming, got an 1890s belt buckle and shoe clip set, for $3.50. Checked them out, in my costume jewelry book - they were worth about $50!

I got Rufus and Lukey as a 2 for the price of 1 adoption fee of only $50.00.
2 sweet cats and 2 lifetimes of love, I think that is a real bargain myself.
