Bargain Hunter

Finding a great piece at a fantastic price is thrilling.  Combing through Craig's List or browsing endless websites can be worth it's weight in gold when you stumble upon exactly what you never knew you always wanted.  

When a must-have is discovered,  my mission becomes finding it a home.  While I wish I had the space and financial resources to purchase every deal I stumble upon, the voice of reason, aka my husband, lays down the law.  Therefore to ensure no great find goes unnoticed, I created some new Pinterest boards to keep track of it all.  Below is a sampling from my Cheap Chic and Craig's List Boards.

Bargain Alert: Friends and Family Sale

My mom and I were at the Kate Spade outlet (on the Eastern Shore) last weekend.  The selection was fantastic - not picked over like many outlet stores can be.  We each got a pair of earrings and were going to get a few bags, but the shop keeper was kind enough to let us in on a little secret - the upcoming Friends and Family Sale.

Just want to let my CDJ family in on the secret as well...

25% off online, in stores and outlets!

Cheers!

PS - these are the earrings I bought.  Tomorrow is date night with my husband and I plan on wearing them with this little gold sweater from J. Crew and jeans.  (I love to share a deal - they were originally $95 and I got them for $21!)

Bargain Alert: Target Find

Yesterday was a typical Target run.  I had some time to kill before school pickup for my oldest.  As I was perusing the aisles I found a fantastic blue glass lamp, a mirrored tray, some fun outdoor tableware and much more.

Headed for the checkout, I passed the "get your yard ready for spring" display of fertilizer, patio sets, etc. Not really paying attention to my surroundings, I almost missed a major score.  Lucky for me, I noticed something out of the corner of my eye, stopped in my tracks and did a double take.  And, honest truth, shouted out loud, "look at those pillows!"  I quickly pushed my cart over to the display, afraid that someone would beat me to the chase (even though no one else was around).  I was giddy!  Just take a look at this picture and you will see why:

A faux "Imperial Trellis" outdoor pillows for $12.99!!  I snagged 2 for the Chippendale bench on my porch.  

Please share any bargains you've recently discovered.

Cheers!
