Everyday I'm Hustlin'!

I have made this blog to show people just how easy it is to live cheaply, if you have the determination to do so (and are not so squeamish about used items!).

I am not particularly a coupon girl, so I am here to showcase other ways of making your money go further for you.


You spent HOW MUCH?!?!

You spent HOW MUCH?!?!
Zombies aren't afraid of used brains. Why should you be afraid of used items?

Village Pillage

There were no great sales happening today, but I did find some pretty neat stuff on this trip.


First up is a Star Wars Puzz 3D of the Millennium Falcon. I'm going to give this to Paul. I got it for 7.99, which is a little more than I like to pay for these types of things, but it was Star Wars. This retails online new for about 70-80 dollars, which makes it a great find.

Funny story; when I saw this on the shelf I lept for it. A friend who was with me said that another woman had seen it about the same time and was also going for it but I swept in like the bitch thrift eagle I am and zoinked it. 








Next up I found this awesome collection of Shel Silverstein poems and drawings. The suggested retail price is 24.99; I bought it for 2.99. I'm going to keep this in my collection of kids books for Duck and Sweet P when they're a bit older.






















Some very cool skull candle accessories - stick a tealight in and it will look like a bunch of dead heads! It doesn't need to be hallowe'en for me to enjoy this. 2.99 








And last but not least, THE COOLEST barrettes I have seen in a long time - they're each part of a snake. They're pretty heavy and made of metal, and only 2.99.

















Other items bought today: 

- Striped Old Navy sweater (9.99 and definitely the most expensive thing on the list)
- panda key chain for Miss Tiffie; Beijing Olympic games key chain with mascots for me (1.99 each)
- Window insulating kit (2.99)
- Plush Poison binder, brand new (3.99; retails for about 19.99) 
- New placemats (green and blue to match my apartment) - .99 each (x4)
