This past weekend while i was browsing through sales papers, i noticed a sock monkey in the Rite Aid paper. I decided to go check it out and was on my way! I found it in the Holiday Gift aisle for only $5! I have been looking for a sock monkey for my middle son so i was very pleased to find it at such a reasonable price. They also had a striped pink one for girls. I would have liked a striped blue one but all i saw was this design and the pink striped design. They also had a bigger sock monkey in different designs for only ten dollars. The second great deal i found was a 50 in wide x 60 in Fleece throw for only $2.99. I figured it would make a good gift for one of my nephews or who ever! It makes a great gift for almost anyone because every one likes a throw blanket! They had many different styles too so there is a great selection of patterns. My third deal was a nice cozy pair of slipper socks that i picked up for only $1. They feel so thick and comfy, they were definitely a steal for only a buck! These would make a great stocking stuffer or accompanying gift. My forth deal was a Snowman Foam Craft kit which only cost me a buck. I figured my boys would have fun making this Christmas project and for a buck, who can beat it! So all together with tax it cost me a little over ten dollars...now that was a bargain.
So after i was done at Rite Aid i headed over to Big Lots, hoping to find some great deals and i did! The first bargain i found was Holiday Cookie Mix Kits which were available in Gingerbread and Hot Cocoa. The Gingerbread cookie mix even comes with a mini Gingerbread cookie cutter. Each mix makes 18-24 cookies each. I bought a couple of them for extra gifts to have on hand. The best part...they only cost $2 each! Wow...you cant even find that kind of deal at Wal-Mart! While there i also came upon a lemon meringue soap bar for a buck! I could smell the lemon scent escaping from the box so i was tempted to buy it. So i went ahead and through it in my cart. Before leaving the aisle i found a sample size bottle of Suave for men shampoo/conditioner for only 25 cents. I picked one up to add to my husbands Christmas stocking. I usually don't make him a stocking but this year i have been picking up little stuff here and there to add to it. Well that completed my shopping trip to Big Lots and i left after paying only six bucks altogether. Now that was my kind of deals!!!! Have you found any great deals while out shopping lately?
