Just ask anyone who knows me -- I always have my eyes out for a deal! I love hunting for bargains at discount stores. We live two blocks away from Big Lots and I can often be found traipsing the aisles looking for things for the family...
I have to go prepared though, it's so easy to load the cart with "junk" and end up spending money on items we really do not need! I also pay attention to size and quantity and have prices memorized from our local walmart and grocery stores to really be sure it's a deal and worth it! Oh and I always check the expiration date on packaged food items.
I have consistently hit the end of season clearance racks at Kohls for the kids' clothing for the following season. I've guessed right on almost everything so far! Last spring I bought several hundred dollars worth of winter clothing for Morgan for this winter and next and spent maybe $80. It helps that I went with a 30% off coupon as well.
I recently tried a store called Aldi's -- I wasn't impressed but will return for cereal and canned items on occasion.
Things I check regularly for are:
Cleaning products
Cereal
Diapers
Wipes
Bath & Beauty Items
Snacks
Seasonal Items (just got Jack's costume for $10)
Toys
So, what kind of bargains have you scored lately?
Gotta love Big Lots! Great for laundry detergent and cleaning supplies! Kohl's--that's an understatement! Never pay full price for anything there! Helps that I work just upstairs and can check the clearance racks everyday, if need be!

Have you ever been to flamingoworld.com? They have a coupon forum and also post whenever there is a sale somewhere. I love it. Though I don't check as often as I should, I do look there before I do any major shopping (ie school clothes).
ReplyDeleteI am such a baragin shopper...infact probably my favorite holiday of the year is Black Friday! Well, it should be a holiday.....
ReplyDeleteI shop in the Lucky 'bulk' ailse. There is usually at least one item I can buy, especially cleaning products that I just hate spending money on!

Hey Ang,
ReplyDeleteHave you ever checked out Hornings?
They are those Mennonite ran store's on 501. There is on 501 near Bethel, and the other is on 501 near Shafferstown. Talk about great deals!!! Just take cash with you though. Oh, and I agree on Big Lots!
