" I Survived Another Day" Bargains Galore!

As you can see......I survived another day of bargain hunting
with " the girl "......
We drove to Meridian and picked up our favorite Aunt!
My Aunt Wilma has always been my favorite Aunt but
since my mother's death she has also helped to fill the huge
hole left in me. She would not mind me telling you that she is
a very young 75 years old !
Can you believe it?






Aunt Wilma and the girl.................

The pictures did not load as I instructed them to, HA! So
it is gonna be a skip around deal................
At Hope Village I found these two pair of new shoes.....
The Blue Slip On's are Covington, $ 4 .................
The Brown Sandals are Clarks, $ 10........

Don't my new chairs from Hudson's look good with the new
cushions? I got the cushions yesterday................



I found these goodies at Hudson's.......... A Silver plated
Cotton Ball Jar, $ 2 bucks! A Soap Dispenser, $. 60 cents!
Bag Clips, $ .15 cents ! The red plastic box is a photo holder.
I bought 10 for 20 cents a piece!





Here's my new cushions! Regular $ 28.oo for two.
I got each pack of two for $ 7.oo at TJ MAXX !

Table Cloth's. I don't know what they sold for originally
but I bought 8 for $ 6.00 bucks each to make curtains for
my screened porch!









I found this darling Black and white Sweater Set at TJ MAXX.
It is a Belldini and sold for $ 70.oo, I paid $ 15.00 !





I got this small Alarm Clock for $ 2 bucks at Hudson's







I cannot tell you how tired I was......even baby girl is now
sick of the word " Shopping"! She had to hit Aunt Wilma's
Massage Chair!
After her massage, I let her sleep for thirty minutes, then we
hit the road for home!



She's going home tomorrow......I will miss her :( but for goodness
sakes, I need some much deserved rest! I have book reviews to
do and I have to write up questions for some author interviews!
We still have to visit 6 houses in Natchez!
I am running WAY behind!!

Interesting that the youngest member of the group needed the nap!

I know you will miss your daughter, but you can look around at all the great things you bought while shopping with her and that will make you smile.

Carol, You all really got some fabulous buys... I'm not much of a shopper (my hubby is glad about that)--but when I do shop, I need to get you to go with me!!!!!

Aunt Wilma looks incredible to be 75... Glad you all got to see her. I know you have enjoyed your daughter's visit. BUT---now YOU can get some REST... ha

Hugs,
Betsy

Well, you got some more great bargains, Carol. We don't have any of those stores around here, not even a TJ Maxx.

Your Aunt looks wonderful, but 75 is not that old! I used to think it was, but once I hit the 70 mark, I no longer think of it as old! But that massage chair sure looks inviting!

My best friend and I are going Flea Marketing today, and to lunch in a Mexican Restautant! Yummo! Have a great weekend. Rest up and enjoy all your new treasures!

Hugs,

Renie

I can tell you really enjoy shopping. Be careful you don't become a shopaholic.

Wow Carol - you really racked up. You stole some of that merchandise. (just kidding ya know) I love the pots you bought at Tuesday Morning. I love all the stores you visited. Haven't been to Hudsons in a long time. You have a beautiful daughter and a lovely Aunt. It is good that she has been able to help with the emptiness you felt after your mother passed away. Aunts are wonderful.

Sounds like a great time was had by all! Bet you need a vacation now.

What a lovely post!!!! Shopping with girlfriends is a joy. When those girlfriends are much loved members of your family - well, you just can't do any better than that. Aunt Wilman and "the girl" are both just beautiful.

And Bargains! Girl! You found terrific bargains! The woman who taught me all about bargains is my mom. We do our shopping thing on Friday afternoons, so I'll be picking her up in just a couple hours.

We don't have a Hudson's here, but we do have TJ Maxx and Tuesday Mornings and the most surprising Big Lots ever. Found a great set of Ralph Lauren bright red towels at that Big Lots a few months back. Man, I just love a bargain.

I got REALLY excited when I saw Melanie in that massage chair...I was waiting for it to say 'Massage chair from Hudson's for $29.99 regularly $2,599.00 from Sharper Image'...LOL!!! You found some really good stuff!

Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoriti said...

Aunt Wilma looks wonderful and sweet. Glad she was able to go along with you and "the girl."

Happy catch-up!
