    Thumbs up I love great deals!

    While shopping for some stuff for my son's birthday party yesterday, I found a clearance basket at our grocery store. In it, I found a normally $29.95 Midland weather radio for $2.00! (We can use it when we go camping) Once I got to the check-out counter, the kid checking my groceries commented on what a great deal it was and that he was going to grab one once he got off of work a few minutes later.

    Anyone else find any great deals this week?

    Wow that is one heck of a deal on your radio!
    I guess to find deals you have to go shopping, I'm trying to stay out of them right now.

    Great deal, Michelle

    I haven't been out shopping much lately to find any good deals.

    I try to stay out of the stores, but had to go to Walmart to get a prescription filled. While walking around I found a Fajita kit which consisted of a cast iron skillet, 5 oz hot sauce and 2 spice blend mixes for $2.25.

    No where near as good as your radio though.

    Not this week. Last week I spent enough money on clearance x-mas items.

    Congrats of a frugal and useful find!! I'm with the others - haven't been out shopping much so haven't found goodies!! However, I am certainly willing to find great deals the next time I shop

    I stoppd in at the Salvation Army thrift store today and all of their kids clothes were 49 cents.I spent $6.00 and got mt great granddaughter 11nice pieces of clothing and a really nice pair of pj's. Most were for her to wear this summer. They had a lot to choose from but I was in a hurry and couldn't look at everything. Still, I was real happy with what I found.

    Sounds like some great deals.
    I bought a buch of boxes of xmas cards for 90% off at Kroger. That made them .50-.90 a box. Got 3 plus size new turtlenecks for $5.97 each and had a $2.00 off coupon. $17.91-2.=15.97/3 +tx. = $5.33+tx. each. (plus size is expensive).

    I found Yankee Candles in 'Christmas Treats' scent at Kohl's today -- Originally $22; marked down to $6.50, and I had a 30% off coupon. So, about $4.50 apiece.

    I got 4 for my gift stash, and several smaller ones for me.

    Went to a thrift store, because my keys were sticking on my keyboard, got one like new for 2 bucks. Hope that was a good deal, DW when I was taking food the the puter to eat said you're bound and determined to ruin that one too. I said oh they had a whole stack of them
