Crafting Bargain

I bought this set of "mitten clips" at Target, which were marked down to $0.48 a set...so I changed my mind and bought 4 sets of "mitten clips" instead. Look at what I did with them...cut off the elastic, added some ribbon from my stash, and made $0.12 binky clips!! Hello! Talk about a simple, inexpensive and cute project!

Bargain Bragging

Ok, I've got a new bargain item to post. Above is a set of hair clips that are actually really cute!

I love the ribbon and the clips work well too. However, I wasn 't so excited about the price.

$9.99!!!!! Wow, that is insane. I really wonder how many of these things are sold.

I thought that price seemed a bit too steep so I did a little research and found these same clips online.

Now here is the price the Beauty Salon Supply store was charging for these clips:

Hide-away clips, 100-ct

Code:74023

Price: $3.99

OK, did everyone catch that? $3.99 for ONE HUNDRED of the clips. So that means I can make these clips with ribbon in my craft room (cause I have one of those now!) and it will cost me $.04 each! Wow, that's like a... a huge profit margin! So if anyone thinks these clips are super cute too, let me know and I'll make them for you for just $6.99.

I think I'll start planing my retirement now. By the way, this is a non-bargain bragging post.

Michelle Kelley, This ones for you!

I would like to submit my letter of apology to the Kelley family. My bargain post on the Costco Christmas wreath did not have a positive affect on them. After searching the Temecula Costo the wreaths were no where to be found. Is Rancho the only store who treated their customers to such a nice suprise? Or was Temecula already aware of such a great bargain and the Kelley's took too long to act? Hmmm... we'll have to check again next year and compair notes.

Bargain Bragging

So maybe I will make this a weekly post for me... my bargain of the week! I'll call it Bargain Bragging and share my exciting finds! This week my bargain was found at Costco (love them samples). Anyhow, check it out below and make your guesses before I break it down! (Sorry the pictures sideways, I guess it really doesn't matter)I saw this in a bin by the frozen foods at the Costco in Rancho Cucamonga and smelled the freshness. Andres saw me and told me to "Get It!" I couldn't imagine spending how ever much money this thing must be on something to hang on my door that will die in just a couple weeks. So I checked out the sign above and threw one in the cart... at $4.50 a piece I should have thrown one in for each of my readers (what's that, about $13.50?). Anyhow, check it out! It is already decored with pine cones and berries and looks SOOO pretty (not to mention expensive!)
