~* Frugal Friday *~

Frugal Friday, Freebie Friday, hmmm.... I can go on and on, but I won't BORE you with title names! I know you want to see what I have in store this week. I often stalk cruise the Craigslist Free section and the Yahoo Freecycle in my area. I am always coming across really good deals for my home and eBay store. Also, the Thrift Stores are like an addiction, if I see one I MUST stop and go inside. It drives my daughter insane!

When I am in the Thrift Store I look for brand names such as: Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, Gymboree, Janie & Jack, Coach, Dansko and Williams-Sonoma. Just to name a few. My actual list of names to look for is quite LOOOONNNG.

Recently I found these Williams-Sonoma Culinary Herbs bowls.

They are GORGEOUS!! There was 7 of them and I paid $2.99 each. So with tax I paid $22.97. I was thinking of keeping them for myself. However, I put them in my store for $199.99 with a Or Best Offer (OBO) option, just to see how they would do. Yesterday, I got an offer that I could not refuse! Take a look at what the SOLD for!!!

So, yes I was doing the HAPPY DANCE!! They had only been listed a few days and I was very happy with the offer, which allows me to buy more inventory! Yeah!

As, I was packing up the bowls today, I get an email with another offer! {I hope this keeps up!}

Recently, I had gotten this Breast Bump off of a Free site.

I did have to clean it up a little and be sure it was sterilized by eBay's standards. I KNEW this was going in my eBay store as I have NO need for one of these (not in 17 years!). So again I put it in my store for $159.99. Today it SOLD for...... (you gotta click the SOLD to find out!)

Once again I am doing the Happy Dance! I hope to be Happy Dancin' through the weekend!! I hope you all get to do some Happy Dances this weekend!
