winter close outs

This is the time of year to stock up for next winter. I was at our local dollar store yesterday and they had thermal underwear and sweat pants and sweatshirts all for only $1 each. The are also great for close outs on baby outfits. Last year I bought hats and knit gloves for 30 cents a set. I stocked up so well I didn’t need any at all this year. I try to do this with children’s shoes also. I have bought great new shoes at Walmart at the end of the season for the next year at only a couple dollars a pair.

In order to get the great deals you have to stay ahead of things.

I think I will start posting listings of places that you can get close out prices.

benefitting from the recession

It is sad but true that many businesses are going under. Just in the last few months, Goody’s and Circuit City both have closed locally. Another store, a local home improvement store is now closing their doors. Since we have been meaning to add a mud/utility room for some time we thought we would check on windows. I really didn’t expect much. Well that was my first mistake. We were able to get 9 yes count them 9 double pane nice sized windows for….. are you ready… drumroll please … $30. Not $30 each but total for all of them. They were priced at $130 EACH before the sale! Is God good or what? So I say all of that to say, “check out those store closings!”
