Bargains Galore

Hello fellow bargain hunters. Regular readers of mine will know I love the nice things in life but want to attain them at bargain prices. Having said that I don't often go 'shopping' without an express need to do so. BUT last week was an exception. One of the regular Vloggers I subscribe to, mentioned Homesense in one of her small thrifty films. I had forgotten how nice a browse around the TK Maxx home department is, so off I did trot. I have been on the look out for another duvet set for our super king bed. At the moment we have two nice sets, one from the White Company purchased in their sale, which I think was still about £135 and one Yves Delorme set purchased from an outlet store again which was still quite expensive. If you're not familiar with TK Maxx it is a discount store that sells 'brand' clothing and homewares, normally items that are end of ranges for their parent stores. Items are normally only in ones and twos so you have to keep your eyes peeled so not to miss the good stuff.I didn't find the bedlinen I wanted in store but went online and found just the thing. £39.99 plus postage. I really can't see any difference between this and the White Company one I already have, oh, except about £100 cheaper.

In store I found loads and loads of tempting things and happily succumbed to a few. I bought a new nightdress, a cushion, some divine hand soap, an extra pretty candle, 2 packs of Baci 70% dark chocolate little sweets (for health reasons), liver detox tea, spearmint and peppermint tea (also for health reasons), and a few essentials for the Mr (designer pants). A Spode ceramic oven dish, a new tin opener, (desperately needed), for a total of £110. Super scrimper prices for quality items.

This is the new cushion on our spare bed. Our puss likes to snuggle up to our son when he stays, so I thought the cushion would make him smile. I've told my husband not to let me forget about Homesense again, ha ha. And dear reader if you have never been and are in need of some little pleasing trifles pop along. You can thank me later.
