It's a brand-new party, and you're *ALL* invited!


So, here’s the deal.

I love to find a great deal on something, and then I love to talk about it (my poor husband! haha). Every girl loves to show off a bargain, right? But there have been so many times I’ve purchased something and found that there’s no blog party that fits the description for me to showcase it in. There’s plenty of craft parties, recipe parties, even yard-sale parties. There’s frugal parties, sure, but you can only show house finds or groceries.

There’s no one party to showcase anything you find on the cheap.

Enter….me! J

Next week, on March 31st,

I’m going to be hosting a weekly party called:




(Don’t you love the alliteration?!

I’m a teacher and some habits just die hard. Or don’t die at all…)


I want each and every one of you to come!
(I’ll even let you bring a plus one and you don’t have to RSVP ;).


You can show ANYTHING you want,
as long as you’ve bought it for $50 or less.


(I’m operating on a tight budget these days and trying to make the most of our income, and I’m willing to bet that most of you are, too. I don’t know about the rest of you, but when people show off their “bargain” finds that were $500 and more, I get a little bit jealous. I’m striving for financial contentment, which is why there’s a limit on your purchase price).


Think of this party as a bunch of vitual girlfriends to show your great deals to!


Find a fabulous pair of earrings from Old Navy on clearance? Show it here.
Shop at CVS and get all of your household items for free? This is the place!
Find a bunch of cute stuff for your kids at Goodwill? Absolutely.
An adorable purse or set of note cards on clearance from Marshalls? You bet!


Do you get the idea?

Any purchase goes, as long as it was a bargain in some way

and cost you less than $50.


Groceries, TJ Maxx, yard sales, Walgreens, Craigslist, Goodwill – it is ALL OKAY!


I do want to add that this IS NOT a DIY party – purely thrifty purchases. If you buy something at a yard sale, great! If you paint it and replace the knobs, well, save it for another party or I will have to delete it (and that’s no fun!).

I know that lots of you are amazing bargain hunters and find some fabulous items on a weekly basis. I figured that by hosting the party on Wednesdays, it gives you all some time to jump on a great deal if it's applicable to you and your area of the country.

(Oh, and if you don’t have a blog but want to share,
you’ll be able to do that in the comments – or send me a picture and I’ll feature you!)

So will you join me?? Pretty, pretty please?

I promise there will be great food and lots of dancing.

Okay so I can’t really promise that, but I can GUARANTEE you the company will be nice!

Let me know if you think you’re in! And remember, MARCH 31ST - save the date! J

  3. Oh and I am clearly light-years away from being a professional, as you can see! But blogging is definitely my outlet and I think it keeps my sanity (as I know you can understand.:)

  7. Great idea, I get so giddy about my good deals sometimes, haha! And I couldn't agree more - I get a wee bit jealous of those "good deals" that cost more than I spend on my house in a year, haha!

    Following you so that I'll remember to join the party, can't wait!
