More Savings- Price $269 Paid $29

YOU SAVED $ 239.85!

Another big win!

I have been watching the after Christmas sales

for great opportunities, much better than 

fighting through the Black Friday crowd.

Excluding tax:

Total $268.85

 Cash Payment $ 28.95 

My last post discussed paying $40 for $400 of merchandise

during a 90% off sale at Three French Hens.

Friday and Saturday I caught the $1 Simplicity Pattern sale

at Hancock Fabrics, in addition to finding nice remnant fabric.

While I quilt, I am not a seamstress

but I can only quilt so many quilts 

so expanding into other crafts and clothes

is a logical step but with patterns 

at $15-18 a piece, it didn't make sense.

But at $1 each?  You bet!

Here I have some holiday patterns,

organizers and adult bibs.  I thought

it could be a good project to make for

nursing homes and  maybe one for a messy

Kathy.  I can always count on spilling if

I am wearing something nice!

  Here I have some kitchen items and 

simple clothes.  The New Look was not on 

sale but their prices are less than $4 and

I did like the top.

Some animal patterns for kids.

Toys and organization patterns.

You can purchase a total of 10 patterns at a time 

so I made two trips, 5 during my way home from

work on Friday (since I pass it anyway) and 

then a separate trip today for another 10

plus the one not on sale. 

A couple of flannel squares for $0.69 each.

The best thing about the patterns is that

you can use them over and over again!

Fleece remnants for several patterns I have.

All this for under $30.

If you go to the link, you will see the sales.

Fleece is up to 75% off through January 28, and if you

have a Hancock near you, you won't pay shipping 

but if not, there is a promo code for shipping now too.

I did make a big purchase at Goodwill  

which was next door to the fabric shop.

I like to find discount books and if there is a 

thrift shop with a nice collection I try to stop in.

I did pick up a couple books at $0.79 each but

came across this ceramic bird that looks much

prettier in real life than in this photo.  

At $6 it was my big spend of the day.

All this sewing will come in handy with the new

wood turning item that my husband made me.

I'll save that for another post.
