    Yeah....I didn't even know what I had until I got home and Googled everything. The glass globes were both a golden color and ORB finishes. I saved a TON! ✔️

    On the other hand I got albacore tuna, 5 oz can for .88cents! 😊

    Nice Find Nicole! We love Restore too, with every visit there's a bargain to be found. The most recent find was a pair of almost new Craftsman Vicegrips for $1.50. I always zero in on the tool and garden section for goodies at steal prices.

    Nice finds, nicole!

    I’m in planting mode now, so not shopping much for decor. Trying to find good deals on plants, since they’ve gone up so much this year.

    @Jilly..Walmart here, got in a ton of plants...cheap! 🐿️ And...poufs!

  • 4 years ago

    I’ll check them again, they’ve been low on stock, but will probably get more in soon. I'm having a hard time finding anything this year!

    I'm jealous of your ReStore because the one by me wants so much for worn out old junk! UGH! :(

    @arkansas girl... Now both our Restores have 75%/50%/25% off tags. That's something new. The prices just got better! My one receipt for the cellular shades said the original price was $70/2! I paid $8.75 ea. (one shade was new, still wrapped in the cellophane package, the other one was missing it's wrapper)

    The guys on my decorating committee keep opening and closing them ....like they're a toy. 🤣

    I just got the bargain of a century: a FREE Room & Board table!

    My friends were giving it away because they moved and wanted something new. They wouldn't accept any money for it because it's scratched. A little elbow grease and now I have it looking almost new! I will be taking my friends out to dinner and buying them a bottle of wine as a thank you.

    New chairs have been ordered to replace the wood ones seen here. I really like the eiffel style so I'm getting two more. They're comfortable and SO easy to keep clean.

    I was at Lowes today. There is going to be some bargains on annuals and tender perennials in the next few weeks. The trucks were bringing them in. They have tons of them out in the open and nowhere to bring them inside. We still have at least two if not more frosts before planting season.

    I got these 3 vases for $3. I only needed one. The person was asking $2 each, but she offered me all 3 for $3!!! So of course I took them all.

    I love all the bargains above and the pictures!!


    Not decorative or exciting, but I just found that my Medicare Advantage plan has a benefit listed that I was unaware of (in the voluminous small print listing my benefits and their particulars) where I get quarterly credits to use on ordering OTC items (medications, products, etc) through a linked company, with no taxes or shipping costs. I found $60 of credits in my account (which may be two quarter's worth) and ordered some stuff including diabetic socks. Prices seem to be at or slightly below market price.

    Not a bargain, but good news from State Farm. They're refunding the $500 we were charged when we had to file a claim last year. We should never had had to file, but nobody was listening. Our upstairs neighbors at the Maui condo admitted they'd caused the leak that damaged our unit. However, this happened the day before we were to close on our sale of the condo, and we had to get moving on the cleanup. It's only taken *forever*, but we supposedly getting a check in the mail. It can go towards paying DH's BCBS deductible for his hospital stay last month: $2K and growing.

    I went to Goodwill today for the first time in a long while and it was dollar day. I was able to get some really nice clothes for my two youngest granddaughters who are 2 and 2 1/2.

    Tomorrow at Shaw's...pork tenderloin roast @ $7.99...buy one, get one free. YUM!

    Ocean State Job Lot, beautiful 5' high, thick and fresh green Junipers for $44.00. I didn't need any landscaping items, but one fellow filled up the back of his truck. I asked him what for? His new build/ privacy from neighbors. Stopped to get some stuff at local nursery. Same trees, $200.00 each.

    Oh my sweet tooth is so happy with two items from the discount grocery store: Snack packs of DeMet's Turtles, 3 candies per package, 4 packages for a dollar. And Whole Foods Italian Gelato, Vanilla & Plum flavor, $1.19/pint. I need to go back soon and buy an embarrassing quantity while they still have it!
