You're about to discover how frugal I am AND I'm proud of it. I don't buy designer purses or clothes or jewlery - I think it's a waste of $$$. I'm just very practical and a minimalist. I rarely pay full price for any clothing or linens-I love TJMax and Burlington Coat Factory and such. I have bought tons of craft supplies at garage sales. I can hit 5 tag sales (yard sales) and spend $20 and come home a "happy camper". My daughter sayes I'm cheap but she doesn't complain when the bargain goes in her closet !
Anyway I LOVE LOVE LOVE to buy Christmas stuff a few weeks after the holidays. Cards, gift bags, bows etc. I bought the baskets in my video for $1.98 each. I'm good huh? They were in a bin at Michaels marked 80% off. Add a few bucks of trims, most of which was on sale, and Voila!!! Pretty Valentine or St. Patricks Day gift baskets for about $5 apiece. So now when I fill the basket with Godiva chocolate and nice liquor and fancy snacks - the overall cost is way less than buying an expensive commercially produced gift basket. I'm not cheap when it comes to the contents - that's the best part- right?
I noticed that Easter is in late March this year - I'll be lurking around the Easter sale bins in early April - see you there if your a smart chick like me "cheep-cheep"!
