Your Good Buy Of The Day (Part 1)

<p>I am always tired… :frowning:
I went back on and almost bought another item, but the reviews were mixed and afte reading about my potential “sack” top, I decided not to click “buy”. But even with the second discount my stuff is runing in the $14-19 range. What did you find that was under $10?</p>

<p>Flea Market this AM: Some trucks come who clean out people’s houses. </p>

<p>Boxes all over the place, you pick through the stuff.</p>

<p>A pair of Bean Boots (you know the ugly ones, these were like loafers) for my daughter, size 7 (looked brand new) 2 Wexford tumblers (no wear), old music theory book, a pair of Cannon pillowcases (hardly used), old Anchor Hocking tumbler with pheasants on it, a hand crotchet rug (about 2 feet long-looked good for cats to lie on), Wilton cake pan (looked it was never used). Paid $5.00 for this box, guy told us we could leave it on their truck & add to the box if we wished, so we found more stuff, naturally! </p>

<p>H picked up a nice outdoor terra cotta thermometer & added to box, a sliding screen (for windows with out a full screen) I found some Christmas placemats (with tags on them).
An unburned candle that looked like a piece of watermelon! Think that is about it. </p>

<p>Always fun for us to go the flea market on Sundays to get good stuff cheap! :)</p>

<p>jym, I bought a necklace for under $10.</p>

<p>Good for you, SLUMOM. Hope that you had fun!</p>

<p>I’ve bought several things on-line from CWC and returned them at my local store. Easy-peasy returns. Their sizes sometimes run funny but the reviews really help.</p>

<p>jym, this is the exact “junque” that I ordered. I have purchased quite a few of their costume necklaces and only one has broken. I have been happy 90% of them, but not all of them:</p>

<p>[Pearly</a> bead and chain necklace | Coldwater Creek](<a href=“http://www.coldwatercreek.com/product-detail/57005/63555/pearly-bead-and-chain-necklace.aspx?colorid=999&refLink=outlet-jewelry.aspx&Skn=outlet]Pearly”>http://www.coldwatercreek.com/product-detail/57005/63555/pearly-bead-and-chain-necklace.aspx?colorid=999&refLink=outlet-jewelry.aspx&Skn=outlet)</p>

<p>For $9, I took a chance. Second order was two inexepensive summer bags.</p>

<p>I got a deal on top of a deal! I had bought a CWC groupon $25 for $50 worth of stuff. The fine print said that it wasn’t good for sale merchandise, but I put a bunch of stuff in my cart and put in the groupon and it worked! I have a live store nice and close so whatever doesn’t look good, or fit, I’ll just take it back.</p>

<p>Very good kathiep! Did you get the 30% off with free shipping, after the 50% reduction in the outlet and then used the Groupon?</p>

<p>fun necklace, nemom!</p>

<p>Kathiep-
I remember seeing a groupon for CWC a little while ago, but didnt buy it b/c I’ve never shopped there, even though there is one not far from here. Thats great that the groupon worked!! </p>

<p>BTW, I used my link through mrrebates and all worked wit the 2 piled on coupons. Now off to buy “junque”!</p>

<p>jym, I have so many beaded things that I wanted something else. I do wear this costume jewelry and it is really great to pack away this stuff when we travel. This way I don’t worry about theft while traveling. If I can’t wear it, it goes back. </p>

<p>I also did not buy the Groupon, because I am not a big CWC customer.</p>

<p>I just ordered the necklace. I am supposed to be paying bills (not generating them!!)</p>

<p>LOL! I am not a good influence for you. Sorry.</p>

<p>Mr. Rebate was new to me, so thanks for that. I’ve actually made 2 separate orders at CWC today, the second one with the new rebate! I’ve only recently started shopping there but have been please with 95% of my items, and simply returned the rest. </p>

<p>This could be dangerous . . .</p>

<p>Thanks to NEmom, just ordered the necklace with the 50% then 30% off plus free shipping. I entered CWC through mr.rebates, and then entered another code for the free shipping. It’s hard to resist when they are practically giving away the merchandise. :)</p>

<p>Sadly, I did not get the multiple discounts.Except for the groupon, that is. I tried entering through the retailmenot site, but when I got to CWC site I had to sign in and then there was no discount. I do regret not getting the free shipping though. I should have created another account!</p>

<p>kathiep, I did not know that you could even go through the retail me not site. I just took the code from this site and used it. </p>

<p>jgotteach, that’s how I felt. Glad that you found a “deal”.</p>

<p>I did not go through the site either - just copied and pasted the code.</p>

<p>Post #2 … x 2 :-)</p>

<p>wayneandgarth,
Apologies but I dont understand your post#2237. Can you explain what the smilie is in reference to?</p>

<p>My CC purchases (thanks again, NEmom) should arrive tomorrow. Sent via fedexpost (some combo of fedex and USmail delivery). Ironically, going up with me in the elevator yesterday was a woman wearing one of the tops I ordered!</p>

<p>jym, I think wayneandgarth is saying that gas prices have doubled since this thread began (refer to the 2nd post on the thread).</p>

<p>I got my necklace today, jym. Lets put it this way, I would never pay $60 for that thing, or half of that. I will keep it for what I paid (just under $9). I also ordered two other things. I think I am getting those tomorrow.</p>

<p>Thanks for clarifying, nemom. I also ordered the necklace. Your description is pause for concern, but pais what you paid… so for about 9 bucks, we’ll see. I ordered a necklace/earring set from gilt that was expensive and a total piece of junk (was supposedly amethyst. No way). The stones fell out and it was a cheap POS. Sent them right back. Since they were shoddily made, the company paid the return shipping.</p>
