OUAC Haul and some Dollar Tree 'slamming deals'!

If you know me, you know I'm thrifty af. Seriously I couldn't buy something full price if my life depended on it.

Occasionally I'll be sharing some of my 'slamming deals' so other people can get an idea of how easy it is to be frugal, especially if you have kids. Sebastian just turned 16 months old and the kid grew out of his sandals faster than he could wear the few pairs he had. Desperate need for new but cheap sandals called for a quick trip to Once Upon a Child today, where they were having a clearance sale of 50% off all items marked with a red star.
That means we only look at items marked with a red star, got it?

Ended up finding 2 pairs of sandals that were never worn, plus 3 outfits for about $11.50.

Was it the best deal ever? No; but I'm still pretty happy with it considering it would've been twice as much for their original price and an ungodly amount if you would've bought it all in the store brand new. (Friends, don't do that please. Buy used or deep clearance.)

 The black cargo shorts are very well made and he'll be able to grow with them for quite a while. I'm pretty lazy at times and Aaron can't match clothes, so the 2 'all in 1' outfits were great finds. I love having those around. The shoes match the outfits and when we went by Dollar Tree later we even found a blue Fedora that matches them all. (My kid is obsessed with accessories. He's walked out of the bathroom wearing an arm full of hair bands, and just this morning I came into the living room and found him watching TV while wearing his suspenders AND a gold leaf head band on his head.)

Look who had their first ring pop today...

Quick run to the dollar tree discovered a few good finds... I have to show great restraint in this place btw because as an artist/crafter I can find so many uses for so many great things. The struggle is real.
