bag

One favorite item in my bargain bag this week was this awesome wood storage bin:

I bought for it for $5 to hold and organize our winter coats and boots (I’ve seen one retail for $80), but it turns out that it doubles as a great hide and go seek spot!

I got it at what we call “The Big Red Barn Sale!” It is a local church that has a barn sale every Saturday and it has amazing items at great prices! Everything is donated to the church and a worker comes around and names your price so you never know what great deal you are going to find!

Is there a neat tag sale or thrift store where you find great deals? Please share with us! Feel free to also share what was in your Bargain Bag this week!

    They are a ministry that provides all type of support to the homeless and needy. One of the ways is thru a fantastic thrift store in Longwood. Great deals, tons of stuff. I try to stop by frequently and always get some good items for out family.

    Thank you for stopping by my blog - it led me to your blog, which is fantastic! It’s so fun to find “kindred-spirits” online. :)

    Your bench is a great find. I love how God provides those little blessings for us.

    Cool toy chest. I have one similar but it has ABC on it and is a pine color. It doesn’t have a bench back, either. I like yours better. :) Thanks for stopping by at Sprittibee. ;)

    One other thing… Target has some cute state and landmark flashcards for 1$ in their dollar bins. They also had some cute duffel bags (pink with owls on them) the last time I went. It made a cute gift bag for a clearance Hello Kitty outfit I got for under 7$ for a birthday party we went to this weekend. I just added 99 cent pink tissue paper and the whole gift and reusable duffel bag were under 10$!

    I am a huge fan of this store called Susie’s Deals!
    They carry clothes for everyone, men’s, women’s, and kids too. I always know that I can walk in to one of their stores a come out with a big bag of really cute stylish stuff for $25! Everything in the store is sold for $5.99 or less and you can even find things that are 2 for $5.99!
    I have bought some really nice name brand things at this store and given them to friends and family for Christmas. People have NO idea that these nice items only cost me $5.99 each .. It’s Awesome!
    I urge you to check them out, because you only have one store on your site that carries clothing and this store appeals to everyone! And they have a web site where you can also shop online or snatch an e-coupon to use at the store, and if you spend $50 the shipping is FREE which is a definite plus!
    They have a website and stores in Utah, Nevada, and California.
