My Finds

I do not enjoy paying full price for anything. I always shop the clearance racks, and frequent discount stores. So today I went to the D.I. and T.J. Maxx. I don't often shop at the D. I. because I have never really found anything good, but they must have gotten a lot of donations recently because they had some pretty nice stuff. If anyone is in the market for a jogging stroller they had one for $15. I almost bought it even though I have no use for it.
I have been looking for a chair for my living room. I want a nice big leather chair, but don't want to spend the money on one. So I adjusted my expectations and found this $5 chair at the D.I. That's right $5. I realize it is somewhat hideous in its current state, but just picture it recovered and with a coat of paint.

I also found these roller blades for Megan for $3, and these roller skates for Jackson for $2. Amazing.


Then I was off to T.J. Maxx. I have also been looking for new bar stools and found ones that I love. I am partial to black furniture, so I was very happy to find these. They were not exactly dirt cheap, but I did find them at T.J. Maxx so you know I did not pay full price.

Lastly, I found these adorable flip flops on clearance. I truly do not need yet another pair of flip flops, but how could I resist.

That chair definitely has good bones! It will look great after some TLC! Love the flip flops! How fun with the roller blades!

love the feeling! I found a pair of slacks at Kohls the other day for $3.80. Perfect for work. I wanted to shout it from the rooftops!

I've only been to DI twice (once to find my costume for Honk) and never found any good deals on anything decent. I have wanted a jogging stroller forever! (Not that I am currently jogging, but I was before) Hmmm... do I go get it? LOL

That's awesome! The chair looks great from the picture and I'm also loving the sandals. I found a matching Broyhill night stand for $15 and armoir for $25 a few months ago at the DI. I sanded them down and repainted them and now I love them. I hate cheap furniture and would rather buy used good quality furniture that can be fixed up than spend my money on new junk.
