I am super excited.<br /><br />I had a $1 off coupon for Ivory soap, and the cheapest package they had was a 3-pack for 97 cents. I didn't know if the coupon would work since it was worth more than the purchase, but it went through! -$1 off the end of my bill. So... free soap!<br /><br />...ok, so I know that with tax and everything I didn't <span style="font-style: italic;">really</span> make money, but hey, I'll take it!Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15938278742353217344noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144491910637901290.post-62766591548936542432011-05-31T22:29:00.001-04:002011-05-31T22:29:41.096-04:00My first adventure in couponingEarlier this week I went to a two hour class my friend Lori taught about saving money on your grocery bill, in part by using coupons. I've used a few coupons in my lifetime, but didn't really understand the ins and outs of using them or how to really get a good deal with coupons. Combined with watching<span style="font-style: italic;"> Extreme Couponing</span> on TV a couple times (ok, those people are just crazy), I felt inspired to try my hand at the art of couponing.<br /><br />I had some trouble getting started because we don't get the Sunday paper, and thus don't get the coupon inserts. A Facebook friend gave me the tip to check the library- jackpot! They had a huge basket of pre-clipped coupons ready to dig through. I snagged a whole bunch and then started scouring store ads/coupons to find things to stack my manufacturers' coupons with. I was able to find a few products that we'd use and that I had stackable coupons for and gave it a try.<br /><br />I went to a couple stores today, but the first and most successful was Kroger. This was my haul:<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oT5FwLHsBAY/TeGNFTnk6KI/AAAAAAAACA4/BHzNX2TNi4g/s1600/DSCF1600.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oT5FwLHsBAY/TeGNFTnk6KI/AAAAAAAACA4/BHzNX2TNi4g/s400/DSCF1600.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611921732985481378" border="0" /></a>This is $15.80 worth of products... I got it for $5.97! That's $9.83 in savings!<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Here's the breakdown:</span><br /><br />Old Spice: 2.29 x 2 = 4.58<br />S coupon -1.00<br />M coupon -1.00<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">=2.58</span><br /><br />Secret: 1.67 x 2 = 3.34 (on sale)<br />M coupon -1.50<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">=1.84</span><br />(I messed up here and got the wrong kind to use my 1.50 S coupon... didn't realize it til now. Oops.)<br /><br />Crest: 3.49 (on sale)<br />S coupon -1.50<br />M coupon -1.50<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">=0.49</span><br /><br />Oral B: 1.99<br />S coupon -0.75<br />M coupon (.75 doubled to limit) -1.00<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">=0.24</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tax: 0.82</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Grand Total =</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">$5.97 </span><span>(saved $9.83)<br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br /></span>Even though I screwed up one of my deals, I still feel good about saving so much money (and spending so little!). I think I'll keep learning as I go... and it will take less time for me to figure it out ;) Next week I'm going to try my hand at Walgreen's Register Rewards game... I was going to this week but the product I was going to buy was sold out.<br /><br /><br />I did go to Target today also, and although my deals weren't as spectacular I'll share anyway:<br /><br />Old Spice 3 pack: 4.24 (clearance)<br />M coupon -1.00<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">=3.24</span><br /><br />Charmin: 13.99<br />Sale -2.00<br />S coupon -1.00<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">=10.99</span><br /><br />2 Cover Girl cosmetics: 4.99 + 4. 24 = 9.23<br />S coupon -2.00<br />M coupon -2.50<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">=4.73</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tax: 1.39</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Grand Total: $20.35</span> (saved $8.50)<br /><br /><br />At least all my coupons worked correctly! We weren't actually planning on buying the Charmin or the Old Spice, but we got good deals and we need those things anyway, so it's all good. Nathan is set on deodorant for a looong time...<br /><br />I hope you enjoyed my <span style="font-style: italic;">extreme</span> couponing adventure...

Sorry for the very...very... very long break! I keep thinking I should resurrect le moths, so here I am!<br /><br />I've had quite a year... I had my first baby boy, Orion, on November 19, 2009. He's the cutest baby ever (of course) and we've loved having him around. I'm a stay-at-home mama now which is great. Orion is 8 months old and learning to crawl :)<br /><br /><br />On to the shopping!<br /><br />This post is all about shoes... more specifically, <a href="http://www.naturalizer.com/">Naturalizers</a>. My good friend becca, of <a href="http://fashionmefabulous.com/">Fashion Me Fabulous</a>, is a huge fan of Naturalizers and has had great experiences with them in regards to comfort and quality. Lately I've run across some amazing sales on them, so I've stocked up!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/TEikENeFkSI/AAAAAAAABqc/9LgWEBy1ckY/s1600/DSCF0877.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/TEikENeFkSI/AAAAAAAABqc/9LgWEBy1ckY/s400/DSCF0877.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496823737447977250" border="0" /></a>These are definitely the most comfortable of the bunch. I'm honestly a little torn about whether they're stylish or not, but I figure a comfortable heel is a good investment regardless. They're leather wedges (low heel) with an adjustable strap. These are from Elder Beerman.<br /><br />Cost: 25.00<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/TEikEJlZ6RI/AAAAAAAABqU/77qR3NgUoiU/s1600/DSCF0878.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/TEikEJlZ6RI/AAAAAAAABqU/77qR3NgUoiU/s400/DSCF0878.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496823736404928786" border="0" /></a><br />Check out these pretty metallic flats! I love flats but have a horrible time finding a good fit... they invariably give me blisters. These are not excluded from that statement. However, they're a big improvement from all my previous flats and they're very comfortable. Also leather, from TJ Maxx.<br /><br />Cost: 30.00 (however, I had a gift card so they were really free!)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/TEikDjN29rI/AAAAAAAABqM/JDaMoFYlm74/s1600/DSCF0879.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/TEikDjN29rI/AAAAAAAABqM/JDaMoFYlm74/s400/DSCF0879.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496823726105622194" border="0" /></a>These are the most recent purchase... Fashion Me Fabulous made me buy them. They're gray with a tint of lavender. They have the cutest heel ever. Now these are not the most comfortable shoes in the world... I don't know if maybe some "petals" for my heels would help or not. But... they're still ridiculously cute.<br /><br />Cost: 27.00 (they would have been 37.00, but I found a $10 discount code online! Score!)<br /><br /><br />And that leads to a tip for today: if you're going to buy something online, always Google discount codes for the item or site you're ordering from. You can often find a code for free shipping, a percentage off, or even a dollar amount off the price.<br /><br />If these shoes spark your interest, you're in luck! Naturalizer is currently holding an end-of-season sale with up to 70% off select shoes! The gray ones pictured here are now 23.70 plus shipping. Happy shopping!<br /><br /><br />I'll try to keep the posts coming! Hope hubby doesn't mind if I shop for blog material ;)Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15938278742353217344noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144491910637901290.post-73949490399957348912009-01-22T10:32:00.003-05:002009-01-22T10:38:40.616-05:00The boots, an updateWell, I wore my new boots all day Tuesday, which included a short shopping trip, a couple hours of work (in-house walking), driving, and some walking outside. They did really well! They were very comfortable, and the thing I was worried about (loose-ish heel) wasn't a problem at all. I did get a mild blister on the little toe of my right foot at the end of the day, but I'm sure with wear the leather will stretch and settle to fit my feet better.<br /><br />Overall I'm more than satisfied with them and will keep them!<br /><br />...I'm just glad I bought them before I decided to put us on an allowance/budget system ;) Now I think I'm going to save up for <a href="http://www.endless.com/Tribeca-Womens-Stop-Mary-Jane/dp/B0015RWXZC/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1232427976115&cAsin=B0015RTIBO&asinTitle=Tribeca%20Stop%20Me%20Mary%20Jane%20Pump&asins=B0015RNAAE%2CB0019VKSI8%2CB0019X3ZG8%2CB000WHG8MU%2CB000RHEUFM%2CB0015RTIBO%2CB0015RPG9M%2CB0015RDL30%2CB0019W20TM%2CB000VMEZMG%2CB0015RRQB8%2CB001BABMNM%2CB0019X505C%2CB0015RC3WU%2CB0019XPJZS%2CB0019VUF8G%2CB0015REKQW%2CB0019WQ65Q%2CB001BAGJ5I%2CB0019VQS1Y%2CB0019W4QLC%2CB0019X58WW%2CB0015RFB3S%2CB0015RP2TQ%2CB0015ROZPI%2CB0015RHDF2%2CB000VMDG6C%2CB0019W5X78%2CB0019WQGC4%2CB0019WY4G4%2CB001BAIKBE%2CB0019WPXA0%2CB0015RH8XY%2CB0019XN58G%2CB001BAGBEW%2CB0015RSHV6%2CB000RHCPN6%2CB0015RIY7I%2CB001BADD1Q%2CB000WHB5F0&sr=1-6&contextTitle=Search%20Results&fromPage=search&sort=relevancerank&node=242169011&keywords=tribeca">these</a>.

It's not that I haven't had anything to post, but that I've been lacking the time and ambition to post it! I got a bit of Christmas money so of course I went on a shopping spree (or two)! Unfortunately for my wallet I spent more than a <span style="font-style: italic;">bit</span> of money... hm. I'm returning one thing so maybe that'll make me feel slightly better...<br /><br />The first item I want to show off is this purple dress I got from the clearance rack at Charlotte Russe. It's got a vintagy feel and I think it's elegant without being stuffy. I finally (after a long time of wanting one) got a wide belt yesterday so I can cinch the waist if I want to.<br /><br />Cost: 4.00<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SW6ZlhhFeJI/AAAAAAAAA6M/5oMVQv28h94/s1600-h/purpledress.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 394px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SW6ZlhhFeJI/AAAAAAAAA6M/5oMVQv28h94/s400/purpledress.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291335482138261650" border="0" /></a><br />I stopped at a local consignment shop (New Enuf) and stumbled upon these <span style="font-style: italic;">amazing</span> shoes. I picked them up with my sister-in-law in mind because they were her size, but I put them on my feet and they fit me! Good for me, bummer for her. They're yellow leather pumps made in Spain. They were even 50% off. Super cool!!<br /><br />Cost: 4.50<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SW6Zl-_t30I/AAAAAAAAA6U/A2ME-EuuSBg/s1600-h/yellowshoes1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SW6Zl-_t30I/AAAAAAAAA6U/A2ME-EuuSBg/s400/yellowshoes1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291335490051366722" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SW6Zl5KsOeI/AAAAAAAAA6c/iG-1owT0rr4/s1600-h/yellowshoes2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SW6Zl5KsOeI/AAAAAAAAA6c/iG-1owT0rr4/s400/yellowshoes2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291335488486783458" border="0" /></a>Always a sucker for buttons and happy colors, this skirt caught my attention right away. It hits a few inches above my knees and is both cute and comfortable. Again, it looks vaguely vintage, so I've gotta love it.<br /><br />Cost: 7.00<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SW6Zl9lvxqI/AAAAAAAAA6k/ct9smGZRfA0/s1600-h/redbigbuttonskirt.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 351px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SW6Zl9lvxqI/AAAAAAAAA6k/ct9smGZRfA0/s400/redbigbuttonskirt.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291335489674004130" border="0" /></a><br />OK, here's a major splurge for me. I've decided recently that I'm going to stop buying cheap shoes and start buying more leather. I'm also addicted to boots. I have some amazing vintage black "riding boots" that aren't the most comfortable things on earth. I have black heeled lace-up boots. But I don't have any basic black boots that I can actually walk around in. I found these at 50% off and loved them, but walked away because I dind't want to fork over the cash. I found some awesome trendy boots for about half the price and texted hubby, "$30 super cool trendy boots or $70 leather investment boots," and he answered me "investment," so I hurried back to these babies. They're a teensy bit loose at the heel so I'm trying to decide whether or not to keep them (maybe I could get those little stick-on "petals"?). I love them, so I'm hoping my feet do too.<br /><br />Cost: 70.00 (ouch!)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SW6ZmWke_DI/AAAAAAAAA6s/LzEWachJedQ/s1600-h/blackpirateboots.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SW6ZmWke_DI/AAAAAAAAA6s/LzEWachJedQ/s400/blackpirateboots.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291335496379595826" border="0" /></a><br />Any thoughts/votes/suggestions on the boots?Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15938278742353217344noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144491910637901290.post-10218366013659951842008-12-06T13:19:00.003-05:002008-12-06T13:29:50.473-05:00Homemade<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/STrCXlVnr6I/AAAAAAAAA48/ocgaGNdfFNg/s1600-h/P1050557.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/STrCXlVnr6I/AAAAAAAAA48/ocgaGNdfFNg/s400/P1050557.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276743623833530274" border="0" /></a><br />I just LOVE this fabric. I kept seeing it at Jo-Ann Fabric and thinking how pretty it was, so when it was 50% off last time I was there I just had to buy it, so I snatched up a yard. It's a medium weight knit with some stretch.<br /><br />I've been working on my seamstress skills lately, and I love working with knits because the weight and stretch makes them pretty forgiving. I decided that my fabric needed to be a dress.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/STrCXmwLosI/AAAAAAAAA40/v36PfR_axAM/s1600-h/P1050561.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/STrCXmwLosI/AAAAAAAAA40/v36PfR_axAM/s400/P1050561.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276743624213373634" border="0" /></a>I should probably post a picture of me wearing the dress so you can get a better idea of what it looks like, but I do really like how it turned out!

I'm learning as I go. I've just been tracing clothing that fits me onto the fabric and going from there... so far it's working pretty well for me. If you have a sewing machine and some spare time, give making clothing a try!<br /><br />Cost: 5.00Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15938278742353217344noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144491910637901290.post-48431088306778496802008-11-21T14:33:00.002-05:002009-03-19T11:58:50.488-04:00Warm Fuzzies<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SScNckGMVvI/AAAAAAAAA4U/PFmV5bj1xdg/s1600-h/P1050440.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SScNckGMVvI/AAAAAAAAA4U/PFmV5bj1xdg/s400/P1050440.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271196673237604082" border="0" /></a><br />I'm a sucker for soft, fuzzy things. I spotted this black (fox?) fur collar at an antique store yesterday and was intrigued. I think stand-alone collars are a cool idea in general because you can add them on to any outfit, and this one felt so amazing I just had to get it. It was unmarked for price so I had to ask, and the lady called the stall vendor and said, "she said 12 but she'll take 10." Hmm. I don't think she was supposed to tell me that second part. But hey, I'm not complaining! After considering it for a few minutes I decided to go for it and add a touch of luxury to my life.<br /><br />I'm an animal lover so have always been wary of fur items even though I really do like wearing fur (it just feels sooo nice!). I felt pretty good about this purchase though; since it's vintage/second hand I don't feel like I'm financially supporting the industry.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SScNcztJWVI/AAAAAAAAA4c/klHAHElFZvY/s1600-h/P1050437.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 237px; height: 233px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SScNcztJWVI/AAAAAAAAA4c/klHAHElFZvY/s400/P1050437.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271196677427517778" border="0" /></a><br />It's so warm! It should be perfect for winter. What I like about it is that I can even wear it with a plain old t-shirt.

Since we're strapped for cash, we're making a bee-line for the clearance racks (as I always do ;). Today we're shopping at Target. Now I usually don't have the best luck with Target's clearance racks, but it would seem that virtual clearance racks are much better!

I've been gone/busy a lot lately, so sorry about the lack of posts! These pictures are all from about a week and a half ago. The one below was taken in my sister-in-law's room; she has the same fuzzy pink rug I had in college! Haha!<br /><br />I thought you might like to see the clothing I was talking about last week actually on me, so here you go! I looove dark purple, teal, and mustard yellow together. I'm glad those colors are popular right now. The sweater is very warm (I wore it today as well as a couple other days) and I still love it and am really glad I "splurged" on it. The skirt is fun to wear because it's so light and flowy and hangs really nicely. It does create some static so that's a bit of a down side, but it's not bad enough to bother me.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SSDmpz9zDTI/AAAAAAAAA3U/S95tQFagc18/s1600-h/P1050175.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SSDmpz9zDTI/AAAAAAAAA3U/S95tQFagc18/s400/P1050175.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269465170021911858" border="0" /></a><br />I went to Target and found several pairs of really cute shoes on clearance! These ones were actually marked down like 40% because of a small dark/discolored spot on the right shoe (can you even see it?), or at least I think that's the reason- all the <a href="http://www.target.com/Xhilaration-Sarai-Knotted-Flats-Wine/dp/B0018AUFII/ref=sc_qi_detaillink?ie=UTF8&pf_rd_r=03Y4894F5K1C15YJBT5P&pf_rd_p=436115101&pf_rd_i=B0018AUFII&pf_rd_s=right-1&pf_rd_m=A1VC38T7YXB528&pf_rd_t=5101">other shoes like it</a> were full price. I bought them because they are the same color as the skirt I'm wearing in the picture and they coordinate with a lot of my clothes. I don't really have any colorful shoes! I wore them around the store for about 30 minutes and they felt fine so I bought them, but unfortunately they rub my feet wrong in a few places when I wear them now... not that that has kept me from wearing them for short periods. I <span style="font-style: italic;">should</span> know better than to buy cheap shoes.<br /><br />Price: 11.00<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SSDmqEeMSPI/AAAAAAAAA3c/sAx6efYKCcM/s1600-h/P1050180.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SSDmqEeMSPI/AAAAAAAAA3c/sAx6efYKCcM/s400/P1050180.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269465174452750578" border="0" /></a><br />I'm really into knee socks! I haven't seen any cute ones lately, but I found out Target has a ton!! I bought <a href="http://www.target.com/Xhilaration-Purple-Knee-High-Socks/dp/B001EEY0Y8/sr=1-1/qid=1226894647/ref=sr_1_1/192-0170282-3114706?ie=UTF8&pricerange=&index=target&field-browse=1038576&rh=k%3Aknee%20socks&page=2">this two-pack</a>... gray ones for practicality and pink/purple stripey ones for fun! I wish those patches of solid color at the toe, heel, and top weren't there though. Oh well.<br /><br />Price: 6.99 (2 pack)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SSDmqHoD2NI/AAAAAAAAA3s/ba2BYEuMj40/s1600-h/P1050171.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SSDmqHoD2NI/AAAAAAAAA3s/ba2BYEuMj40/s400/P1050171.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269465175299446994" border="0" /></a><br />On to Salvation Army! I was there looking for sweats/athletic pants to wear camping, which I did find but aren't interesting enough to post on here ;) I found these super fun pants though... they're gray with a fine green plaid. I like that they're midway between casual and dressy.<br /><br />Price: 3.00 (or less... I know they were 50% off but I don't remember the original price)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SSDmqA_CsbI/AAAAAAAAA3k/ZpZAdeuQTo0/s1600-h/P1050178.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SSDmqA_CsbI/AAAAAAAAA3k/ZpZAdeuQTo0/s400/P1050178.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269465173516792242" border="0" /></a><br />I've been keeping my eyes open for a leather bag. I'm really into leather right now because of durability, feel, and comfort. I would really like a colorful leather bag, but I also like warm natural leather tones. I found this bag at Salvation Army. It's really basic and spacious with three large sections (the center compartment is zippered, and the compartments on either side are open. Also has a small interior zippered pocket on one side). I cleaned it up a little, but it could do with some leather polish/treatment.<br /><br />Price: 4.00<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SSDmqg3Gu5I/AAAAAAAAA30/Sk9JRfkeLsU/s1600-h/P1050167.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SSDmqg3Gu5I/AAAAAAAAA30/Sk9JRfkeLsU/s400/P1050167.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269465182073437074" border="0" /></a><br />When I went to Salvation Army last Tuesday it was "family day," and almost everything was 50% off.

The second was to be an ACT/SAT tutor, so I was scheduled to take the ACT. I was <span style="font-style: italic;">terrified</span> of the math section, because I haven't even looked at an algebra equation for about seven years. To my relief, I ended up passing on the ACT because the job wasn't what I had hoped. The tutoring place happened to be in the same plaza as <a href="http://www.marshallsonline.com/">Marshall's</a>, so I happily wandered over.<br /><br />I found many things I would have loved to buy, but narrowed it down to a few. I actually splurged a little because I found this <span style="font-style: italic;">beautiful </span>sweater that I absolutely love and thought it was much too wonderful to pass up. It's angora and lamb's wool and a gorgeous color. The image above (yay big button!) is more accurate color-wise than the one below. It's comfy and warm and in the color palate I'm into. I can't wait to wear it... every day.<br /><br />Cost: 25.00 (yes, that is a splurge for me ;)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SREJ4sMNuvI/AAAAAAAAA20/BvWOhUb_lMU/s1600-h/P1050144.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SREJ4sMNuvI/AAAAAAAAA20/BvWOhUb_lMU/s400/P1050144.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265000308912536306" border="0" /></a><br />The next item actually isn't from Marshall's. It's from <a href="http://www.kmart.com/?psid=16265288&sid=KSx20070515x00001a">KMart</a>. I stopped there to kill time between interviews and found this lovely, styled-up t-shirt for uber cheap! I love the buttons and sleeves. I always keep my eyes open to t-shirt alternatives because I have the habit of dressing in tees and jeans a lot, so if I can find something just as comfy but more stylish I'm all about it. I don't have any shirts this color so I'm happy for some new variety!<br /><br />Oddly enough, I ended up buying a size large (I normally wear a small). Doesn't it annoy you how inconsistent clothing sized are?<br /><br />Cost: 2.50<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SREKEMtVefI/AAAAAAAAA3M/d0rRuk3iJQs/s1600-h/P1050148.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SREKEMtVefI/AAAAAAAAA3M/d0rRuk3iJQs/s400/P1050148.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265000506619951602" border="0" /></a><br />Back to Marshall's! This is a pretty basic and not overly stylish skirt, but I love the color and the weight. It's really light and summery, but goes well with the purples and teals I'm into right now. With tights it should serve me well in the cold weather but carry over easily into summer.<br /><br />Cost: 3.00<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SREKDhtYiJI/AAAAAAAAA3E/U7Pd-N8f7VU/s1600-h/P1050153.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SREKDhtYiJI/AAAAAAAAA3E/U7Pd-N8f7VU/s400/P1050153.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265000495077427346" border="0" /></a><br />And now...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Bargain of the Century!</span><br /><br />The skirt below is a <a href="http://www.bcbg.com/home/index.jsp">BCBG Max Azria</a> skirt with a suggested retail price of $130.00 (the BCBG tag with this price was attached). I got it for $5.00. How could I NOT buy it?! Now, it's just Polyester and Spandex so I'm not sure why it was so expensive in the first place, but who am I to question? It has a few wee snags but the skirt is so flowy and shiny that you don't notice them at all. Its color is "Eggplant." It's fun to wear because it's so flowy!<br /><br />Price: 5.00<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SREJ4QjcBxI/AAAAAAAAA2s/HFiy8lZa65Y/s1600-h/P1050152.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SREJ4QjcBxI/AAAAAAAAA2s/HFiy8lZa65Y/s400/P1050152.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265000301493749522" border="0" /></a>Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15938278742353217344noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144491910637901290.post-43290625930117562912008-11-04T21:32:00.000-05:002008-11-04T21:42:10.557-05:00Simply Vera 80% Off<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SREGiK9DNSI/AAAAAAAAA2k/3SfZd3q4tjc/s1600-h/P1050156.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SREGiK9DNSI/AAAAAAAAA2k/3SfZd3q4tjc/s400/P1050156.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264996623498556706" border="0" /></a><br />I was able to snag this beautiful Simply Vera shirt at Kohl's on Sunday for 80% off the original price of $44.00. I just love how unique it is. The asymmetrical gathers (gatherings?) are very well done- I feel like it's a fairly high quality piece. It's also SO comfy... it's a shirt that you could wear on a day when you're feeling a little blue; it has the comfort you crave and the style to make you feel pretty! I think this shirt would flatter most body types.<br /><br />I'm happy for a good bargain and a uniqe item.<br /><br />Cost: 8.50Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15938278742353217344noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144491910637901290.post-55413590542864389312008-11-04T21:16:00.001-05:002008-11-04T21:32:22.594-05:00Good TweedOn a trip to Goodwill on Sunday I was able to find a couple cute, unique items. The first is a pleated skirt in a red and white loose-weave twill with specks of blue and yellow. It hits me just above the knee, which I think will work well with boots. It should also be nice and warm for this winter.<br /><br />Cost: 3.00<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SRECZf8yb8I/AAAAAAAAA1w/P_YkcWZPTgo/s1600-h/P1050160.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 365px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SRECZf8yb8I/AAAAAAAAA1w/P_YkcWZPTgo/s400/P1050160.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264992076469268418" border="0" /></a><br />I don't know what to call the next item... a jacket? A shirt? I'm really just not sure. It's a structured long-sleeved item with a large collar and cinched sleeves. It ties in the back. It's a navy tight-weave twill speckled with several colors. I was worried it would be too boxy, but my friends over at <a href="http://fashionmefabulous.blogspot.com/">Fashion Me Fabulous</a> who I was shopping with assured me that it looked cute.<br /><br />Cost: 2.50<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SRECZxVK8BI/AAAAAAAAA14/Mxt9GHICrKM/s1600-h/P1050161.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SRECZxVK8BI/AAAAAAAAA14/Mxt9GHICrKM/s400/P1050161.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264992081134940178" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I've been keeping my eyes open for a good leather belt... I'm sad to say I've "grown out of" mine. I found this beautiful belt at Goodwill in my favorite leather color. It's a warm medium (almost reddish) brown. It's very supple and just the right length.<br /><br /><br />Cost: 50 cents<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SRECaCAue4I/AAAAAAAAA2A/mw521vb8Pj0/s1600-h/P1050142.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SRECaCAue4I/AAAAAAAAA2A/mw521vb8Pj0/s400/P1050142.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264992085612592002" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SRECa9cs22I/AAAAAAAAA2I/XrWISfKQJSs/s1600-h/P1050159.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 236px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ONldu8WtEF8/SRECa9cs22I/AAAAAAAAA2I/XrWISfKQJSs/s400/P1050159.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264992101567617890" border="0" /></a>Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15938278742353217344noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144491910637901290.post-43475744595915795842008-11-04T16:05:00.003-05:002008-11-04T16:11:46.005-05:00Humble BeginningsHello, and welcome to wallet moth! I've been thinking about starting this blog for a while, and after a day of awesome bargain shopping I decided to go for it. Couldn't hurt... right?<br /><br />The goal of this blog is to encourage people with "more moths than moolah." You <span style="font-style: italic;">can</span> have fun, fashionable clothing without breaking the bank. Heck, you can even have name brand clothing for next to nothing! And if you're really, really lucky you can even get it for free. It just takes a lot of treasure hunting, patience, and selectivity. <br /><br />I'll be posting my latest finds and will keep my eyes peeled for great deals to share. I hope you have fun with me and my Wallet Moths :)Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15938278742353217344noreply@blogger.com2
