I've been trying to organize my house room by room. Last week I went to Ross to find some type of deep baskets to put in their dresser nook as well as in their closet. I found 6 sturdy, fabric-lined brown baskets for $30. Now their room is completely organized!
Two days ago, I was bored from being at home with my 2 sick kids and they were dying to get out so we went to the Dollar Tree in Orem. I usually only drop by there to get candy for the theatre or batteries for my kid's toys. But this time I walked around the entire store, thru every aisle and was so suprised at the things I found! I bought a Universal Remote for my TV and VCR (usually $5-9), it works great! I bought Robitussin (usually $4)for the kids, (Jaakson's allergist wanted me to start giving it to him). Works great! I bought press-on lights for our closets, $1/each! I bought a pack of different colored Playdough (usually $3), HUGE bottle of bubbles, 8-pack of AA batteries (over $3), Chex snackbars ($2.50 or more), spring "Welcome" wire wreath, cleaning wipes ($3-4), mulitple cans/jars of fruit, and the list goes on. I ended up spending $30 for $30 items! Not too bad for a shopping/grocery spree!
At Savers a week or so ago, they were having their semi-annual 1/2 off EVERYTHING sale! I don't like D.I. very much but I like Savers for the kids clothes and lil' things like movies, books, etc. because the quality and condition always seems better plus their racks are organized better so you don't have to look as hard.
I LOVE saving money on things so if anyone has any tips that have helped them, let me know!

I am with you 100%! I love saving money. I shop all the same places as you and won't buy something unless it is dirt cheap. Something I discovered lately is how to save a little extra money when shopping on line. I bought some stuff from oriental trading co. online recently and at the check out they ask if you have any promo codes, depending on what your code is, you will get some kind of discount. Most big websites have this. Well if you don't have one, just type promo code for amazon or O.T. or whatever site it is and there are sites that will pop up with lists of promo codes you can use that will give you some kind of discount on your purchase like 10% off or free shipping or something like that. They're not usually large discounts but every little bit counts right? another site is a yahoo group called "freecycle" just search for it then join and its like free classifieds for Provo and Orem. Another one is Swaptree.com. there you can trade dvds, books and CDs with other people for free just pay shipping.
I didn't know you were so shopping saavy...
I try so hard to be a bargain shopper...you need to start taking me with you!!!
LOL!!!! I love the dollar tree. Jarod has "banned" me from there several times, but after going there with Daniel for Christmas stuffing stuff he has since said that it was an amazing place and fun to get stuff at. Good job bargaining!
