Bargain shopper I'm not!---

I am no coupon clipper (never have been never will). I'm not one of those that rushes to FRY'S because somethings on sale, or so & so calls and says "there's a great deal over here". Guess it doesn't matter to me that much. But the other night Kevin wanted to go to good will to get of course work clothes.. I mean why spend all the money, when literally they'll be ruined the next day.
So as we were walking around Kiersten came across a helmet (which she's been begging for since she got her bike). It was a pink princess one (what else!) The first thing I thought was, OMG! DO NOT PUT THAT ON!!!...but it was too late. My children never cease to entertain, and this bike/stroller thing was there, and lo & behold she hops on this thing and starts riding around while wearing the helmet. Can I tell you how funny that was??


Brendon also came across a helmet, that he wanted, and since the weekend when we purchased them, they randomly wear them. I don't understand it but oh well :)



Then there's me!! We happen to go on a Saturday that was 50% off. I guess they do that every other saturday. I came across this.



A grandfather clock, that I only paid $40 for. It works, and I was mesmerized by it and couldn't leave it behind. Unfortunately, it still sits next to my refrigerator because I don't know where to put it. If you want to volunteer to "re do" my front room. PLEASE HELP ME! I still can't believe it works, and there is only 3 or 4 scratches--that you can't see unless you look hard & in the right spot.

Wow! Way to go! That looks super nice! I want one!

Hey, Kevin doesn't have a brother named Justin, by any chance, does he?

Did he marry Christina Unga? And are they having or did they just have a baby?

what a deal!! i ♥ the clock!! i'm sure you can find a great place for it if not you can give it to me! :)

i ♥ bargain shopping- esp. if it's thrift store or target clearance!! jon goes bizark anytime one of our kids touches anything from those places, he's always yelling, "now don't put your hands in your mouth, we need to sanitize them before you touch anything else!" i find it absolutely hilarious! i'm like, "whatever...i'm sure they've touched worst."
