Bargain Binge-ing and some random things

Can you guess how much I paid for all these (except the orange tray)?



4 Michael Graves Fluted Storage Jars, 4 Lacquered trays, 2 sets of suit hangers...

and these 7 party items from Martha...
If you guessed $12, then your right!!!!

Everything was on CLEARANCE and the store had additional 40% and I had additonal 15% off from SHOPKICK


This App
I love this App and check it all the time to see if I have extra coupons and discounts that I could use while I'm at a particular store! Plus, I get "kicks" or points every time I enter  a partner store (like TARGET or JC Penney), and you get to choose your reward after you accumulate certain amount of points!!! You can get extra "kicks" too by scanning particular items in the store as well.

So far, I've earned $20 worth of gift card from TARGET!

Anyway, Yes, I paid $12 for 4 lacquer trays, 4 Michael Graves jars & 2 sets of wooden suit hangers, 5 sets of Martha Stewart Party stuff!

As for the orange faux-leather tray, I originally ordered it online and cost me around $39. However, while at the store, I saw it on clearance and with all my discounts I ended up paying $8 for it!!!

I truly love it on my coffee table right now
After having a blast at JC Penney, I went to TJ Maxx and scored this..

Gold & Stainless steel Ice Bucket $7.50 clearance
Also grabbed me 2 of these ...

Paper whites are never out of season for me for $2 from Walmart
Here they are with my orchids by the sink!

I couldn't help but show off my small kitchen garden. It's atypical since it's not of herbs, but since I have a 'black thumb' bulbs and orchids are the only one that survive in my house.

Anyway, how about you, any crazy bargains lately?


Lastly, hope you can join these fabulous ladies every last Friday of the month…



Absolutely adore all four and am so excited with this collaboration! I'm definitely IN!!!!


Have a Fabulous day!

  1. WOW! I think that officially makes you the bargain queen! I've got tomorrow or Thursday set aside...if my calculations are correct it should be time for another extra off clearance at Dillard's. I'm after some of that awesome gold flatware and some new boots. Thanks for the shout-out!

  7. That is one sassy tray!!!! Love your finds, Vel. You need to start a separate blog on bargain shopping - truly! I'd be addicted big time :) Stay fabulous!

  8. Wow, I think you may just be "Queen Bargain Shopper," Vel! I cannot believe you got all of that for $12 -- way to go! Your flowers look great! We've already started planting outside, and I filled my large herb pot with all kinds of fresh herbs which are doing very well. I love orchids and had several in our previous home in our sunroom -- it was the perfect place for any and everything. We've been discussing whether we want to turn our covered patio into a sunroom here. I'm voting yes, but we shall see if I get vetoed!

  9. Vel, what a haul and for so little! Love the tray and you made me laugh with your black thumb comment. I kill orchids but have lots of other plants sooo I'd say you have a partial green thumb at least! :)

  22. I am a bargain hunter too so I really enjoyed this post! I can't believe you really got the orange tray (and for less?), you go girl! I love your kitchen garden area, it's so pretty and inviting. I am like you, I have a black thumb. I only plant orchids and succulents indoor because they are the only plants that will survive in my home. :)
