Good Fortune Showers Us All...Please Share!!!

   I try to keep my blog chock full of good news, good sales and good bargains.  So when a gal pal shares her good fortune with me, it's a given that it will find a home on my blog.  So on with the good news from my friend...spotted at Stein Mart on the sale rack was a great dress, it would normally retail for $98.00 and the regular Stein Mart price brings it down to $49.99.  Then use a 50% coupon and then 50% off all red dot merchandise...well it then becomes the bargain of the day when it rings in at $12.00.  I'm calling that "awesome" and  your karma was rockin' that day sista!!! 
   READERS...please e-mail me your bargain stories...this bargain fashionista would love to share your good fortune also.  I want to know what good deal or deals have come across your path.  It's great to hear stories like these, I find them inspiring, exciting and exhilarating.  Every one has the wheeling' and dealin' spirit and this is a good place to showcase your treasures. My e-mail is harleydiva@bex.net .
   Stopped in to see my friends at the Go Dollar store with a girlfriend and she also was impressed with the "goods" there.  New shipment of Pandora-style beads...deals are so good there I'm buying things I need and a few that I don't ...it's all about impulse buying sometimes!!!
   And welcome aboard Debbie...hoping you enjoy the read!!!

Jumping Over the Rainbow to the Endless Pots of Gold

   Just when I think I'm fully satisfied "for the moment" with my bargain shopping, my bargain hunting and my bargain "sharing", a better bargain out there always seems to cross my path. Check out retailmenot.com .  This is a website with coupon codes and discounts for 90,000 online stores - it's pretty amazing (just 90,000?).  Give them your e-mail address and you will receive a newsletter quite frequently and there are free shipping coupon codes.  No complaints on the amount of online stores and no complaints for free shipping.  How awesome to have choices like that...you can shop in your jammies sipping on a nice hot chocolate...cool!!!  It must be a good find because over 57,000 people hit the "LIKE" button.
   Now to put a local slant on my bargain bonanzas...check out this website...savingmoneyintoledo.com.  This is an upbeat, cheerful, chock full of stuff including savings on food, restaurants and entertainment.  You might be surprised about this one and all the goodies found here.
   And now for my last bit of local bargains:  For any Lands End fans, you must go to the Sears Outlet store off of Rt. 20 in Perrysburg (across from the French Quarters).  Fabulous markdowns, the stuff is $5 to $10 (I'm not kidding-I was there) ladies, kids, men's (not so great).  You will fill up a shopping cart in no time because of the isles and isle of clothes.  So enjoy and start looking for some bargains at the end of some beautiful rainbows!
