Here are some ways we re-claimed and re-purposed stuff to save money.

Black Friday Shopping Tips

Julia Scott over at Bargain Babe recently asked shopping tips for Black Friday….
I don’t shop on Black Friday.

I hate Black Friday and avoid the insanity at all costs. The Black Friday shopping scene is unnecessary if you’ve been following my leads for deals. No need to participate in all the hysterics and chaos.

However….

Halloween Savings

I don’t really do Halloween. Never have. But as a parent I would have buy the necessary yearly costume.

However, Halloween is fun to do, and there are lots of ways to save on Halloween expenses.

The Big Bash!

Sometimes I go for the easy fix & a bargain price at the same time. This weekend was one of those occasions.

We gave “the kid” a big birthday bash at the house, inviting a mix of 25, 12-14 year old boys and girls. Yikes -these are middle schoolers. We offered no big plans for amusement or games, just music and access to our new Beatles Rock Band… OY! Here’s where we spent our money.

FREE Home Depot Workshops

I hate having to rely on others for something just cause I don’t know how to do it myself. To save money I’d rather take on a project myself. But, I need to see how it is done to learn how to do it myself.

Home Depot has tapped into that spirit with their hands on FREE workshops for wanna be Do it Yourselfers

20th Century Props Liquidation Sale

I love treasure hunts, I love to scavenge for unusual, the unique and the outstanding deal. Naturally when I heard 20th Century Props was having a liquidation Sale, I headed over.

The amount of product and props found in this 118,000 square foot warehouse will leave you in awe… but don’t let that stop you from looking around. You may find a one of a kind piece of Hollywood history for a pittance.
