1. Target--I love to scour their clearance section--especially the baby clearance because you never know when you're going to need a last minute baby gift and paying $4 for a cute dress instead of $20 is awesome in my book!
2. Big Lots--Although I don't shop here often, I like to go here for everyday stuff like fabric softener, car seats and some boxed food items.
3. Tuesday Morning--A lot of the stuff here is pretty good quality, but you never know what you're going to find in the store. Sometimes it's fun to just walk around and see if there are any good deals.
4. Home Goods--This is great for decorations and kitchen stuff. I found some great Christmas gifts here for about half the retail price.
5. Dollar Tree (or other Dollar Store)--This is a great place for pretty much anything--plates, napkins and plastic ware for a birthday party, bag to wrap the gift in, balloons, party favors and other random stuff that you had no idea that you needed until you saw it for $1!
I am not big on going to thrift stores although I hear those are one of the best places to find items for super cheap. You just have to be willing to fix some of them up and wait patiently for the right thing to arrive.
What is your favorite place to shop when you're being frugal? Do you shop thrift stores?
I like to shop thrift stores first as we have a lot of great ones around here. :D I also like doing Dollar Store for gift bags, gift tissue, and have found a few other things in there. We also like Big Lots sometimes. :D
ReplyDeleteWe have a Tuesday Morning here, but I hadn't really known what it was. I'm going to have to check it out. :D
Around here we have Ollie's, which is supposed to be a fabulous discount place. One of Mary Hunt's (of Debt Proof Living) favorites. I need to make time to go check it out, without the kids!
ReplyDeleteConsignment! That is where I go when I am being frugal with E's clothes.
ReplyDeleteI also love Aldi! It's right across the street from Wal-mart, so I stop at Aldi first and then WM to get the rest! Super cheap!!
I've passed a Home Things before but had no idea what it was..I'll have to pop in next time.

Our Goodwill store gets a lot of stuff from Target that is new. I got the shelves for our play room there. The box was a little messed up. I've also bought new (still in the packaging) baby sheets there from target too.
ReplyDeletelove all of these stores, each has a great things.
ReplyDeleteI really like Home Goods. I got a huge fruit bowl there for $10 and it is pretty and glass (very heavy). Funny note about Tuesday Morning...It started in Dallas as a store run out of a warehouse that was only open on (ready?) Tuesday Mornings. :) I think it's funny that they have done so well to have started from such a limited business model. Yes, I am full of useless information.
