Should I go back and snatch this beauty?
This is a post by BargainBabe.com writer Yazmin Cruz.
I hit a couple thrift stores this weekend in search of an entryway bench. Instead, I found a wooden chest (image at right) that could double as a bench with storage. After seeing the price tag, I walked away. It was $50! I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the chest. Did I make a mistake leaving it behind?
I went to a bunch of garage sales with a girlfriend last week looking for an oval coffee table. (I’m redecorating my living room with the money we’ll get from selling our Vespa scooter.)
I burned out on the coffee table – the furniture selection was terrible at the five sales we hit – but I did find this great little table (image right).
I knew it would fit perfectly in our entryway. But it had an awful coat of cheap lacquer, was dirty, and made of cheap wood. I was giving it the once over when the seller walked over.
“Five,” he said.

Reader Dianna scored big at Pier 1 Imports after using a coupon we shared last week on clearance items. She writes:
Honestly, I felt like a kid in a candy store at Pier 1 last weekend. My girlfriend met me, and we roamed the aisles, several times. Most were on clearance. I was looking mainly for shell décor.

Judee shared a quick tip:
FIY the Christmas gift wrap at Target is about .30 cents a roll right now. Great time to stock up for next year :O)
The post-Christmas holiday deals only last so long before they sell out or get cleared out to make room for new merchandise. Get on it if you haven’t already (myself included!)

Jennifer sent a tip on a super useful website called SaveOnBrew. The site shows beer sales near you. Simple and awesome! She says:
I am not sure if you have seen the website www.saveonbrew.com yet. It is a website that lets you put in your zipcode any where in the US and will show you all the advertised beer on sale. This should be a great money saver with the upcoming holidays!
You can customize a search by zip code or address, type of beer, store, container type, and more.
