Pouf! Splurge vs. Steal
My twin mentioned to me that this week, she picked up a decorative pouf (Threshold for Target) from a USA Target. I knew exactly which one she was talking about as I had had my eye on them from a few months back but could not justify the $50 price tag (which is actually a bargain compared to other versions). What grabbed my attention though was that she used a coupon for buy one get one 1/2 off....and it made these poufs $32.50 each (if you buy two).

The coupon is good until March 30, 2013 and is linked again here. You will have to select the "Threshold" Buy 1 get one 50% off coupon for toss pillows and print it out for when you go shopping.
Edit: Until Sat. March 16 these poufs are on sale for 29.99 and combined with the coupon above, makes two poufs for $45.00 a great deal!! (of course we got our price adjustments!) If the store is out of stock be sure to grab your rainchecks!

Five Buck Finds
Anyone that knows us, knows that we like to shop. And anyone that knows us well, knows that we love to shop for deals!!
Starting in Mid-February (until Feb. 24th this year) meant "Final Clearance" at Winners and HomeSense. It's a clearance sale that happens every season, this was the late-Winter/early Spring clearance. Watch for a Summer clearance in September.
We spent a few mornings scouring different locations and managed to find some great bargains.
My favorite find? Black and white polka dot skinny pants for $5! I had my local tailor hem them for a few more dollars, and now they are the perfect cropped patterned pant! Pretty low risk for a quick trend :)
You won't find that same trendy deal while you're out and about, but you CAN find my latest purchase! I was looking for a 'hint-o-mint' in a new top...and I found one at (of all places) Walmart. It's a cotton ribbed tank top in heather grey and mint stripe...$5! I think it will look great under a chambray shirt and mint jeans this spring!

Zellers Closing Out
As Zellers locations are fast approaching the closing of their doors forever, making way for Target's arrival, shoppers like us are taking advantage of some great deals in the final weeks/days.
Last week, my sis and I were shopping at Metrotown (Burnaby, BC) and noticed the Zellers there is in its final days. We popped in and noticed everything is now reduced up to 90% off. (selection and prices will vary)
I managed to score a great bargain on two mirrors that were regular priced $49.97 discounted to $14.99. A fantastic price!
I can't wait to show you the plans I have for these! *updated with photo* anchored our side tables with the new mirrors. What do you think?!
P.S. A saavy shopping tip: don't get carried away, just buy items you love and will get use out of!

Winter Sales
If you've been waiting for a good time to go shopping for your kids or yourself, now's the time!! January sales are in full swing! It's transition time for retailers, which means a great sale is just about everywhere.
The Bay, for instance, is offering 50%off last ticketed clearance prices on all footwear. Big Sis picked up some very cool black leather Born boots...tall boots, on a very wearable, comfy flat sole...reg.$300, down to $110. I was able to snag a pair of Pajar Grip winter boots for my mama ...reg. $179.99, down to $64.
Don't forget about places like Winners either! I know it might not be for everyone, but I personally love being able to hunt for my finds! It's one of those places where if you see something you like, you have to grab it before it's gone because you might not see it again!
Picked up a lovely black puffer with a stylish collar and self belt by Vera Moda, reg.$79.99, down to $45 (retails for $129).
Aritzia is doing a great sale too, up to 50%off winter stock...some great pieces to be found!
Happy shopping!

Lululemon Warehouse Sale Report
Ok. Day two of the sale, Big Sis and I went downtown and we were at BC Place by 8:30am. It looked fine, no lines at the gate (Gate A)! We went down the ramp to the field level and the coast was still clear...until we arrived at the bag/coat check portion (which you must pass on the way in). We handed over our coats swiftly (no wait for this). Once through, the line to wait for entry was not big at all...maybe 5-10 minutes, but it was still pretty early for a Saturday morning. Perhaps the crowds would come later?
Tips on how to bypass the line? If there is a huge line and you have a friend with you, you could hand all of the coats/big purses to one person, and the other could jump ahead to the entry line...just a thought.
OK. Onto the good stuff. Here's the scoop on the loot. Lots of racks of pants...but mainly crops and pants that have seen the clearance rack (and been passed up by many). I did buy Studio(no liner) pants for $55 in Fossil Grey (reg.$118) and some black crops (reg.$98) for $45. There were lots of bad pants. LOTS. Weird prints, mixed media and just plain "no" pants (Happy Hathas?!). The latter were on sale for $39, but these are the very pants that I saw at the Factory Outlet for $9 at Boxing Day, still couldn't convince me to buy them. MC Hammer is even over them.
There were lots of black Scubas $79, and dip dyed ones too...nothing over $99. Lots of lightweight running jackets, Paddington coats, cape coats, etc. I skipped on the jackets.
Tanks averaged $29, as did shorts/skirts. I passed on these as well, as I scooped up better sales at Boxing Day with $19 tanks and $10 shorts. I did, however, buy up the Pedal Power Henley which was $36 at the sale (reg.$108)...this was at the Factory Outlet today for $59.
The underwear was a bargain though! I got some cute unmentionables for $4, a headband (reg.$18) for $4, and a running toque (reg.$32) for $9. I got a couple of different Brisk Neck Warmers for $9 each (reg. $28) in black and blue piqué. (The black one is still in the regular store for full pop).
All in all, it was fun. I went with no expectations, so maybe that was part of the 'good time' mentality!
With your purchase receipt, if you go to the Factory Outlet, they'll give you $10 off your purchase (although why you'd want to is beyond me, the prices were cheaper at the sale!!). I went to the Outlet afterwards, but was disappointed with this "gift"... But I managed to help out a fellow shopper by passing on my receipt :) At least someone else could use it.
Tips:
Don't worry about checking a coat. It's no biggie. It's free and fast, and you have to pass it going in and out of the facility anyway!
Bring a small purse or waist pack, or just your wallet. Medium and big purses must be checked at the bag check. They'll provide you with at Baggie to put your ID and credit cards in for the sale.
Don't get carried away with the "sale" aspect. It's only a deal if you wanted the item (before you got there!). Stuff adds up fast!!
Have fun and Happy hunting :)
