Friday Frugal Finds: 1/2 price day and fun finds at Value Village

August 8, 2014

You are not going to want to miss next week on the blog.  I am going to start a series of sorts and reveal a room that you have never seen on the blog before and there’s a reason why you have never seen it! Smile  So stay tuned for that!

Last week was 1/2 price day at Value Village so you know where I was early Wednesday morning!  I didn’t browse much for clothes but did find a few household things.  No pillows this week though! Smile

I found a gorgeous chunky knit red throw for $0.99!  Can’t wait to use this at Christmas!

And I also picked up a straw wreath for $1.01.  Always a good thing to have 1-2 of these in my stash picked up for cheap so when I get the itch to make a new wreath I already have the wreath form.  Which by the way, I am really wanting to make a new wreath now Smile  But will probably use a metal wreath form from my stash to do it.  Will be sure to share when I get it done.

Then I stopped in Value Village again this week actually to donate some things and also browsed the home section real quick.

I found this sturdy wood basket for $2.02.  It is actually a nice size – sort of a medium size.  And I think I might paint or stain parts of it and do a little makeover on it.  That should be fun!  Now to actually get some of these projects done!

How about you?  Any fun finds this past week?  A stack of projects that need to be done??
