Deal of the Week

Brrrr...yesterday was the first day it really felt like Fall to me. The rain was falling, the sky was dark, and the air was chilly! It was a perfect day to sit out on our back porch and reminisce and laugh for hours with some old friends - which is exactly what I did. To top it all of we had home-made french toast and bacon for breakfast. Annnd I got to cuddle with not one, but TWO little babies. I mean, seriously, if that doesn't sound good to you...well, then, you need to come over and see how fun it is!

There's only one thing that would've made it better...getting in bed to flannel sheets! I love the moment when I fold back my sheets and nestle in at night. In the winter, few blends feel as good as thick, warm flannel sheets! Annnd, they're ON SALE right now at Target. Twin, double, and queen size...all only $19.99!!! And guess how much King size cost? Ummm, duh, $19.99!! That's really cheap, people!



Now, I can't attest to the quality or durability of these sheets, as I don't work for Target (umm, HELLOOOO, Target, don't you want to hire me to blog about your deals? I'm totally sure Mr. Target reads this). But, hey, even if you only use them for a year or two and then sell them for $5 at a yard sale, you've gotten your money's worth!

PS There are more colors and sizes in the store than I've found online.

Great Deal!

So...I have a teensy lil problem. It's nothing, really. I'm just a tiny bit addicted to shopping. Retail therapy. Online shopping. In-store shopping. Shopping for others. Finding a deal. Bargaining. SHOPPING. I only go for good deals, though, unless it's just a 'got-have-it-totally-worth-the-money" purchase. (IE: My favorite summer Anthropologie dress.) I trace this back to Saturday mornings at the Jockey Lot growing up...you only get $5 so you better make it stretch!

But, really, one of my favorite things to do is shop for others. I loooove when my friends get me to take them shopping to pick out new clothes! Or when someone gives me money to get clothes for a certain occasion. And buying gifts is fun to me, too. One of my 'dream' jobs is to be a personal shopper...sadly, I don't even know how this would work. ?? And, sadly, I think I shop better for others than for myself!

However, I thought maybe you (sorry to any guys who read this blog) could benefit from my hobby! So, introducing the Deal of the Week:

Anthropologie (one of my favorite stores) has this cutie-pie sweater/shrug for $68.00



And...Target has the same thing (and in more colors) for only $25!



Same exact sweater - believe me, I have this Target version hanging in my closet! Due to my shopping addiction hobby, I find lots of these, so if ya'll are interested, I can blog more of them! Enjoy this 'Deal of the Week!'
