Great Deals!

I just wanted to share some of the deals we got last week.  If you know me, you know that I do shop a lot but I'm pretty cheap.  I never pay more than about $15 for jeans, $20 for shoes/boots, $10 for shirts.... things like that.

Please forgive the quality of the photos... I took them with my phone since that's the fastest way.

I went to Plato's Closet in search of boots for Brett. They had no boots.... but they DID have an entire rack full of clothes tagged with red dots. These red dots meant that these items were.... $1!!! Those racks seem to have some strange items, but if you look closely, you might find some great steals!  

I found: plaid capris, two shirts, 2 skirts, one dress, a purse, and a pair of skinny jeans. EACH was $1.  So this entire picture was $8 + tax! What a STEAL.  I will show some closer views of my favorites....

   messenger bag purse- $1

 Entire outfit- $9. This includes boots, shirt, messenger bag, and skinny jeans.

I am also quit thrifty with Vera's clothes. Pictured here is a $7 trip.  She got: a pair of jeans, sweatpants, shorts, a leotard for gymnastics, a pair of footed pajamas, a long sleeved shirt, and a dress for her 2 year pictures. Got it all at a place called "Children's Orchard" here in Ann Arbor.  They are very similar to Once Upon a Child.

 The pattern on this dress is a little wild.... but it was $1 at Plato's Closet. Thought I would take my chances.

 AND my favorite purchase of the weekend.... my $6 boots from the Children's Orchard, where I got the stack of Vera's clothing!

My tip is to just keep a list of specific clothing items you are looking for.  My next finds are hopefully going to include some mint skinny jeans, some cardigans, and some casual dresses.  I wont buy these unless they are an extremely AWESOME deal. Trust me. None of these are important enough to have right now so I can wait.  I have also signed up at a few stores to get their e-mails on events.  This way, I can go when I know there will be great deals.  I know that Target ALWAYS has some awesome steals on shoes so I look there when I go.

What awesome deals have you found lately and where? Feel free to share!
