Weekend Steals and Deals

I hit a mini jackpot last weekend as far as super duper deals and clearance items are concerned. I’ve been eyeballing this area rug at Target for almost a year, but definitely would NOT pay $129 for it. This spring, I found it at a Salvation Army that carries new Target items for cheap, but it still was too expensive for my taste at $60. Finally, last weekend I spotted it on clearance for $32. Exciting? Yes! I snatched it up. Take a look:

And here it is in it's new home. My puppy has already pulled up a few snags already, so it might have to go back into storage until he's more grown up. It's so cute though, I might just keep it out and be diligent :)

Score! Mom and I also went to the North Oaks Rummage Sale . Most of the good stuff goes within a few hours of opening (an early 7 AM!). It’s held in a hockey arena, and the entire thing is packed with stuff. I found some great deals (however, I apologize for the crappy picture):

The glass cloche already has a home in my living room. The best part is, I'd been looking at them online for a while, and found this one for a buck.

Don't you just love a good bargain? :D
