Great Saturday Finds :)

 So, today, late Saturday, was quite an adventure, that is for sure. It rained pretty much all day, we did have some breaks in the rain, but all in all, it was a rainy day. Some of you asked did I find anything great...well...you ask and you shall receive, LOL.


So, we first stopped at the Goodwill in the Villages...I am sure I have mentioned before how nice that Goodwill is...its where all the retirees dump their stuff, LOL. This is how the conversation went...

Me: was standing guard at these chairs.

Hubby: notices and he goes, "Whatcha' doing?" 

Me: Hey, I am willing to give up $50 of my clothing budget for these chairs.

Hubby: ((laughing uncontrollably)) then he looks...


Two outdoor wrought iron loungers/ recliners, yes, they came with cushions, 2 blue outdoor cushions each, but when we got them home, we took them off because the cat had already claimed the one.

Hubby: $24.89 a piece? ((he quickly tears the price tags off and goes, "Lets go!") lol

Me: Why, are they worth it? 

Hubby: "Shh...don't talk so loud!" LOLOLOL

Aren't we a pair, whispering like schoolgirls, that is what I told him. lol

Unfortunately, we couldn't fit both in his SUV, but the man was nice enough to let us come back...ok. 19 miles home, 19 miles back, whew...so that is why we took the cushions off because when we got back with the second one, the cat was already sitting on the one. SO, if and when he gets the patio pavers down, we will have someplace to sit by the pool. Onwards---oh wait, so 19 miles back to the Villages. LOL---onwards to Marshalls.


I personally have spent the last 2 weeks without caffeine and honestly, I was really starting to get unnerved. I had run out of coffee and well, being the ever so coffee snob, and knowing it, hubby did not go out and buy any coffee for me. Found Garibaldi coffee, I bought the two boxes they had, $12.99 each --yes, bad Linda, but I do love a good cup of Italian coffee.


Pure Maple syrup. There is nothing like pure Maple Syrup. Yeah, a little pricey at also $12.99. 

Two silk blouses, one was originally marked $85, got it for $16.99--sorry, I already put them in the wash/gentle cycle. One is a solid green button blouse, and the other one is a giraffe print button blouse that one was originally $30 and was $15. Dude, why are you bothering me, following me around? I did say that to him/hubby, LOL. --he said, I ought to wear more green, because that is my color, by this time I was rolling my eyes. NO, I had my colors done years ago, jewel tones and he goes, "Green is a jewel tone." sigh...back to rolling my eyes. He just stands there with this cheshire grin, like a little boy. 🙄


While I was browsing the soaps, and since our bathroom was out of hand soap, I did buy this and its Villa Flora Coconut and Verbena for $4.99. The container is so pretty.

***Hmm...while I was browsing, I noticed Hubby was up to no good, he was talking to the sales lady, and it looked like she was getting two perfumes out of the locked case...interesting. He told me to mind my own beeswax--well, he did say it very loudly and of course; he had all these women around giggling...hmm...he's up to no good. He keeps asking me about Christmas, and I told him, what I wanted, Black Opium perfume. And for whatever its worth, I did happen to see one Black Opium bottle/box in the case, and I simply left it there, as I know how expensive it is and since I only wear French/expensive perfume, I had to walk away. Moving along...I also bought some Halloween towels, again, in the wash with the blouses, some Italian pasta and a few other food items. Then we went to Hobby Lobby next door, and I bought some fake fall flowers for the dining table and will decorate the house for fall, probably tomorrow. Both Marshalls and Hobby Lobby had 40-50% off, great sales.


Then, we went to Walmart, still in the Villages. And was pleasantly surprised to see this spice packet. Guess what is for Sunday dinner? It takes 1- 28 oz. of tomatoes, 1- 14 oz of tomato sauce, ground beef and lasagna noodles. Yes, I know it's hotter than hades here, but we use to get this soup up north and we both miss it. Plus, it's supposed to rain all day on Sunday, again. Then we stopped at home, unloaded and got my SUV, went to our Publix, got gas in my car/SUV and came home and settled in.


NOT that I am ready for anything remotely Pumpkin whatever, but I did bring out the Hocus Pocus cup and had a nice cup of Italian coffee this evening. Gosh, it was so nice to have a cup of coffee.


So, that is it...I shall post photos once I get the table done up for fall. Have a great Sunday all.

P.S. We never made it to Costco, well we did, but the line was down the parking lot to get in. No thanks-it was raining and neither of us really had a desire to fight that crowd.

  1. That was a great find on the metal chairs! I haven't been to Goodwill in ages...we mostly go to Salvation Army.
    Happy Sunday!
    hugs

  2. It sounds like you scored on several different fronts (clothes, towels, soap, spice for lasagna soup, coffee and chairs), Linda. I hope you have an enjoyable Sunday.

  4. You did great! I never find deals like that in resale shops but I probably don't know what to look for.

  5. Woo-hoo ... y'all did great! I definitely need to visit our Marshall's! I'm putting that soup packet in my WalMart cart as we speak. I hope your weather holds off so you can spend some quality time in the pool. Hugs!

  7. Great price on the chairs. Good that it came with the cushions. I have a settee, and 2 chairs that will need cushions next year. Ugh! One cushion at the cheapest place retail is $59.99. My creative mind is trying to figure out how I could do cushions for less.
    Have a great week, Linda.

  8. You found some amazing deals, Linda. Way to go! And your husband is a gem, but I have the sneaking suspicion that you already know that. Have a relaxing Sunday!

  9. Hi Linda! Wow, you had a great shopping day. Those outdoor chairs are great! Great find! I think I need to get some of that Lasagna Soup mix next time I am at Walmart. Looks like an easy and good dinner. I hope you have a good Sunday. See you again soon!

  10. Regarding green, it all depends on the shade you are wearing. I'm a "Winter" and so forest green works for me. Olive green, not so much, although it's a beautiful color.

  12. What a fun day! And some fun finds too. Those chairs should last forever and will be perfect by the pool. And I don't think we have that seasoning packet here! I've never heard of it. But it sounds delicious!

  13. Hi Linda, you got some great things. Those chairs alone were a great find. Getting the right coffee is important! Your hubby knows what you like and that is so special. Soups is always good. Enjoy your week.

  14. Even though it rained, you all ended up having a great weekend. What a great find!! Isn't it so fun to find a big deal on something that you really want? so happy for you!!

  15. Gosh, you make shopping sound like so much fun! I never get to go really shopping like that anymore it seems. Well, if I do, I never find anything I want. Happy you found some great deals on some great stuff! I should go shopping with you! LOL. Those chairs are a great deal. I know one of our cats (Blackie) would probably claim one too. Now if I go out on the back porch and sit on one of HIS chairs, he starts scratching everything he can see to let me know that I am in HIS territory! Huh! Such a bossy thing for a stray porch cat ! LOL. I hope you are having a good week so far. Hey, it's pouring down rain here now finally at 8:30 pm! 'bout time!! been waiting all day! Bye for now.
