As you probably know by now, I’m always on the look out for a frugal find. Whether it’s a piece of furniture, a window, clothes, crafting supplies, or whatever, it’s hard for me to pass up a deal.
This weekend while My Princess was at the Home Depot kid’s workshop making this darling dry erase board, I spotted these Martha Stewart and Glidden paint samples.
They had a bunch of them in various colors all for just $.50…I snagged a variety of different colors for only $4!!! These will certainly be put to good use in the future.
When I was in WV visiting my mom over the holidays I had to stop at her local thrift store. This is the store where twice a year they have fill a bag for $1…this wasn’t one of those times but I still found a couple great deals. The first was on these Pillsbury cookbooks.
I got this whole lot for just $3…15 cookbooks in all! These are each $4.99 at the store these days…what a steal!!
I also found my new purse that day. $2.50 for this cutie. It has several good size dividers inside, so my purse is more organized than ever!
Super jealous of the paints! Were they on closeout? Seems like I’ve looked at them in the store and they were quite a bit more than that.
Me, too! Would love to have some of those at 50 cents apiece!
Yes, they were on clearance!! I’ve never seen them this low before!
Yeah, I scored an “almost” new Tassimo for $10 at my local GW. I’ve been holding out because I knew one of them would show up eventually. Great score on the paints…I always love using the sample pots in projects!
I’m so sad they are discontinuing the Martha paint. I used a tester on a filing cabinet and hoped to use it on a wall someday.
I just did this with my bathroom cabinets and drawer!! I love the idea of painting the inside of one of your cabinets with chalk…totally going to try to talk my husband into this one:) Such a cute idea and look at you getting organized!
Hey! Found you through HOH’s link party. I cannot see a link for frugal finds and not click on it. If I can’t be out shopping for deals, I love to see what everyone else finds. Thanks for sharing. You got some great deals!

Ok, I posted a link to “frugal finds”. You can find them in this post and on the left side of my blog under labels – frugal finds.
Every Wednesday I post a “Wednesday’s What I Found” post. It is often a thrift, ReStore, clearance, or curbside find.

Great finds, love the paint of course and the purse is super cute! I found a great shadow box frame on the weekend and some candle holders. Oh how I love thrift shops and yard sales!!
Great finds! I found the same Martha Stewart and Glidden at Home Depot for 50 cents, but then the next week my husband went back and the Glidden paints were 5 cents! Just in case you wanted more. 🙂
Wow, that is crazy…may have to stop in there and see what’s left! Thanks.

Found you on Coastal Charm’s Nifty Thrifty Tuesday. I love that purse what a bargan. I also love the cookbooks. I got a bunch at a yard sale for 10 cents each but mine are all for vegetarian dishes. I love your blog and can’t wait to explore it some more.
Great finds!!
Lucky girl! I’ve bought quite a few of those little Pillsbury cookbooks in the last few years. They’ve got some yummy recipes! I found you through The Girl Creative. Thanks for sharing!
I have that front cookbook in my collection! What great finds – especially the paint.
