If you’ve read here for a little while, you know I’m cheap. What can I say, a good deal gets my blood pumping and heart racing. Which means I don’t have to exercise, right?! Okay, that’s extreme, but the thrill of the hunt or stumbling upon a diamond in the rough makes me happy. Whether it’s a thrifted piece, like this cutie brown vinyl foot stool on casters:
He didn’t have a price, so I asked. Survey says? Five bucks. Sold to the crazy furniture hoarding woman. And this fall-ish wood and fabric sewing tote basket.
I plan to swap the fabric out to put it to use as a magazine rack.
Of course buying new can be just as exciting. Like this $4.48 table and $5.98 ottoman from Target. At twenty bucks they were a good deal. Knowing I didn’t need them, I waited for clearance.
None of these items have found their permanent home…yet, but it’s only a matter of time. The Target table might work outside. Perhaps the square ottoman in the entry as a small, light weight place to perch while putting on or taking off shoes. Who knows at this point. I do know these were too good to pass by. And eventually they’ll work somewhere. What is your favorite recent deal?

Yessssssss someone snagged up that $5 table! It took everything in me not to bring it home the other day. Target had been on fire with their clearance lately. Love all your awesome finds Amanda:)
Someone had to do it, right? Target has been on fire with nearly everything lately. I need to stop going there so I save my money! Haha.
Not related but I love that wood storage idea. Our house has our first wood fireplace and we keep getting bark on the floor around it. I like the nook for the broom too!
Hi Nora!
The front lip really helps keep the mess contained. And the metal dust pan and broom can handle hot ash, too. 🙂
Thanks!

I too found some great deals at Target over the past couple of weeks. I found a beautiful programmable Crock Pot for $15 and the regular price was $50. I also use Cartwheel, their coupon app, and got 2 boxes of diapers for $14.20 each, regularly priced at $21.99 each. Yay for great deals!
I can’t wait to see what you do with the little brown ottoman and the sewing tote-turned-magazine rack!
Oooh, awesome deals! I’ll have to check out Cartwheel now. 🙂
I do the exact same thing! I know I might not need it now, but I might and if it’s super cheap…it’s sold!
It’s a sickness, Tyesha! Eventually I’ll find a place for it. 🙂
Love the brown foot stool with the brassy casters. So cute! But I love the whole corner… very warm.
Hi Jerrica!
Aww, thank you so, so much! Your comments are so sweet. 🙂
Thanks!

I almost picked up those same two items on from Target’s clearance section. I’m hoping they’re still there when I go back! I think I had a toddler meltdown to attend to the first time I went…
Hey Jennifer!!
Our store had a bunch of both, so hopfully they’re there for you. I was really hoping to snag the table, too but didn’t get there in time.
Love the little vinyl foot stool! I found so many great things at the thrift store lately too.
Thanks, Julia!! Thrifting goes in waves it seems. There will be weeks I walk out empty handed, and others that I want to buy everything! Glad you’re having a good run! 🙂
I’m crushing on that vinyl foot stool! (And who can pass up all the fabulousness at Target?)
Thanks, Miss Charming! And really, how can you ever walk out of Target empty handed. It’s impossible!!
