What's in the Bag?? Happy Meal Toys-Stuffed Animals-Grease Collector Cards

     Hello thrifty mommas!! Got a few bags of random at a yard sale this past weekend so thought I would open them up and do a what's in the bag post. It was mostly kids meal toys and little kids toys but there was a few things I was interested in. Since the bags was only .50 to $1 I got a deal on the things I was wanting and the rest will be donated for someone else.

Just A Little "Cosmetic" Haul-Dollar Tree-Salvation Army-Yard Sale

     Hello thrifty mommas!! This is just a little "cosmetic" haul from the last week. I got the 2 pack nail polishes from dollar tree, the red by gorgio armani for 4.50 at salvation army (it was new and sealed) and the bath and body works liplicious for $1 at a yard sale. I am a sucker for nail polish and perfume I guess you can count those two as other collections I have. It really is a bit of a problem I can't stop buying this stuff!

Coach Starfish Crossbody Purse-Yard Sale Find

     Hello thrifty mommas!! Went to a few yard sales this past weekend and found some great things! One of the items I picked up was this Coach crossbody purse with starfish. I looks like new condition, don't think it was carried very often. I only paid $15 for it and I have the matching cosmetic bag I got from the goodwill about a year ago! I thought this would be so cute when we go to the beach next year on vac!

More Cool Vintage Stationary Items-Rose Notebooks-Rose Art Pack

     Hello vintage lovers!! This is the last of the stationary items I found at goodwill last week. I couldn't leave these behind either. I love vintage stationary of any kind, the rose pads have the roses on the page which is so pretty. The roseart stationary set is so cute too, it is made just like the Lisa Frank sets was, the packaging and everything is the same but that's how it goes with knock offs they look almost identical.  The roseart set was .50 but the notepads was $1 a piece, they were worth the price they look to have never been used. I know I will not find another haul like this one every again but I am glad I got this one!

Amazing Goodwill Find-Mostly Unopened Vintage Sanrio Stationary Items-Spottie Dottie-Pekkle-Role Mole-Pochacco

       Hello thrifty mommas! I tell you the person that let this stuff go is crazy, they had a thing for stationary like I did in the early 90s (well that has never changed I still have a thing for stationary). All of this Sanrio brand stationary was found my Lisa Frank items at the same time. There is spottie dottie (two stationary sets .50 a piece), Pekkle (stationary set and memo sheets .25 a piece new in package), Pochacco (letter paper .50) and a role mole (used notebook for .25). I love Sanrio stuff as much as Lisa Frank but I guess the previous owner didn't fell the same since this was all I found. I do fell lucky to have found what I did and the prices were awesome!

Unbelievable Haul Vintage Lisa Frank Stationary Sets-Goodwill Find-Some Almost Complete-Over 20+ sets/items-Part 5

     Hello thrifty mommas!! This is the fifth and final part to my Lisa Frank ultimate goodwill haul. These are the all in ones (these have pens, paper, envelopes and post cards included) and the notebooks. The puppy with pearls notebook is brand new, the whale one has been used a little. All of the different papers in these is amazing, some of them I didn't even know existed! 
     Also for an update I did go back to goodwill 2 days after this epic find and found one more all in one and it was amazing too! It was .50 like all of the other ones I found but it did make me a little sad to think that there may have been even more of these sets put out later that day or the day after that I missed. Oh well I think 26 sets plus some other none Lisa Frank sets is more than enough. Of course my too much gene says other wise....

Unbelievable Haul Vintage Lisa Frank Stationary Sets-Goodwill Find-Some Almost Complete Sets-Over 20+ sets/items-Part 2

      Hello thrifty mommas!! This is part 2 of my unbelievable vintage Lisa Frank haul. As stated in part one of this haul I happened upon all of these amazing stationary items at my local goodwill for .50! I can not believe it still, I never get lucky like this usually I find one little piece to a set. In this post I have 5 more almost complete sets with one set having a few extra items in it like a comb and a bubble wand! The toys are us tag on the corner of the top pic gives me life. That fun pack was only 2.99 at toy r us I thought that was pretty cool. The easter pack is cute too but it only has one piece of paper but it does have the stencils, pencils and erasers. I'm pretty sure the piano one is complete the other two are missing some paper.

Unbelievable Haul Vintage Lisa Frank Stationary Sets-Goodwill Find-Some Almost Complete Sets- Over 20+ sets/items-Part 1

     Hello thrifty mommas!! I have to say that the next 10 posts or so are going to be some of my favorites I have ever shared. I went by my local goodwill this week as usual I wasn't going to stop but my dad had my boys and I decided to run in. I came across one pack of these Lisa Frank stationary sets and was like oh my gosh I never get luck like this. Well..... I looked down on the shelf below and found about 25 different sets!!! I couldn't grab them fast enough and put them in my cart I thought someone was going to get them before I did!! I didn't even look at them I just threw them all in my cart so it was fun looking through all of them when I got home. Oh and if you are wandering how much I paid for these amazing sets.... It was... .50 a piece!!!! 
     I love them all, the person who owned these obviously collected the stationary she had all kinds of sets. She was even in the Lisa Frank fan club (I know this because there is a set with the fan club logo on it. I even found an address in one of the packages which goes to show you she used them too. I can not believe that they held on to these for all these years then just donated them. It always blows my mind at finding stuff like this. I can honestly say that this is one if not the best goodwill hauls I have ever found.  
     Some of the sets was used more than others, some of the sets have almost all of the pieces they came with while other only have a few but I don't care. I was just super excited to find all these items together in one trip. There are some pens, pencils, lots of paper, lots of envelopes and of course stickers! What I have pictured here are almost complete sets the other posts that will be or are posted will be a lot of inclomplete sets. Seeing all of these items takes me back to 1993 going school shopping or just browsing the stationary aisle. I have always loved stationary items since I was a kid, now I just need to find me a trapper keeper and I am set!

     Hello thrifty mommas!! It's a goodwill haul y'all, haven't had one of these in a while. There has been little bits of a goodwill haul here and there but this is a full blown haul today! I guess me trying to be selective has went right out the window..... But you have to admit most of the items in this haul are useful things! 
     First I found three fake succulents for 1.29 a piece to put in my livingroom, I can't kill them and my son can't dump the dirt out, win win. Next is a jewelry holder that I bought to put my bracelets on but realized necklaces can fit too, this was 4.99. Then I picked up a sponge holder for my kitchen sink (new) for .59, a happy face spatula for .50 and two tooth brushes for .50 a piece. Lastly I picked up some stationary stuff, box of paper clips $1, pack of new pencils (I think these may be from the early 00s but not sure) for .50 and a still in package multi purpose cutting set for $1!

Mail Call.... Bath and Body Works-Semi Annual Sale

     Hello thrifty mommas!! Since it was my birthday a few weeks ago I decided to purchase some items from bath and body works online. They are having their semi annual sale (that has lasted over 2 months) and finally dropped some items down to 75% off. Plus I used a $10 off of $40 purchase coupon, even though I had to pay shipping and taxes I got all of these items for $41! 
     I should have purchased more shower gels and some hand soaps cause we use those a lot but the sprays got me. I loved all the scents I purchased and made my collection even larger.....
