How to Blow the Budget

It is possible to blow the budget by stopping in at Walmart and seeing that there is some activity going on over by the yarn. Many skeins have a discounted price sticker and if you happen to scan it under a price checker an even more discounted price shows up! I went pretty CRAZY! Here's the skein price for what I got:

• Pound of Love $4.50
• Red Heart Super Saver $1.50
• Caron Simply Soft for $2.00
• Red Heart SS without labels $1.00

I couldn't resist! I do believe that I am going to make something for myself out of some of this yarn. Maybe I'll even tackle a simple sweater! Stay tuned 'cause you never know what this flaky lady will be up to next!

  

Bargains--

When I was in Florida, my uncle took me to several thrift stores and flea markets. He knows how much I love them! I was fortunate to find sheets for my bed, a California King Size, for only $20. One set was 800 count and the other was 850. I got dh a couple ball caps with the Navy logo on them for only $2 each. My biggest excitement came from the crochet patterns I was able to grab at bargain-basement prices.

These were only 75 cents each:

Don't know if I'll make these but it is great to look at the pictures.

Few hats and baby things in here that I might make.

Regular Price:

Paid regular price for this at a book store. I have NEVER found
any of Drew's books at a store before.

50 cent items:

There is a cute long-sleeved version of the green sweater that I've been drooling over.

Only 25 cents for these:

One booth had crochet hooks with wooden handles similar to the Bates bamboo hooks. They were only $5. I was going to get a G-hook but they were all out. I thought the price was well worth it. 

Don't you just love a good bargain? I better get busy around here. Birthday or not there are chores to do. :)
