Pink Steals!

I have gotten two steals of deals on pink items this week that i simply cannot resist sharing. Today, I ran to the Salvation Army to drop off donations. I was unsure where the drop off point was so I ran in to ask and of course had to look around. I was browsing the furniture section and the pink, shabby chic/french country, TV armoire caught my eye.
Isn't it fun? I looked at it for a while and went on my way. However, after walking around (looking at the Oscar de la Renta shoes which I had to force myself to put back) for a bit I decided to go back over and inspect it. Well, by goodness I thought my eyesight had gone bad when I looked at the price tag... it said $229!!! I asked a clerk for assistance and he assured me it was indeed just TWO HUNDRED TWENTY NINE dollars. I walked away to think about it to make sure I would not impulse by and this man ran right over and started looking (at the hot pink item...). I was SO worried he might take it as he appeared super interested so I tried to pretend like I was really interested in this other table. He did not end up taking the tag off and as soon as he walked away I ran over and grabbed it. This lovely item will be delivered (for a mere $45 fee) on Monday and I cannot wait! The Salvation Army is such a wonderful organization and it serves so many. My purchase is such a fun piece and it will match the abode perfectly. Ohhhh, isn't it just too cute and what a STEAL!
I also scooped this up on eBay this week. I actually already have this pair of Jack Rogers (I got them in 2002 and they are still as good as new), but I could not resist the amazing deal. These JRs are BRAND NEW and I only paid $20.07 with shipping! I think I will give them to mother for Valentine's Day because I know she will be able to use them in India. Talk about another amazing pink deal! It pays to keep your eyes peeled and shop around!

Your such a great shopper!

Beaufort Belle said...

WOW WOW WOW What good deals. I wish our Goodwill or Salvation army had finds like these. I have been looking for an armoire to use as my computer station.

Also a quick question for you re: Bonnannos and Jack Rogers. I do not own any yet yearn for my first pair. I don't know how to order them size wise. Do they fit true to size or what is the best way to pick your size?

Congrats on your great finds and have a blessed weekend!
