Bargains
I needed some pots and pans
to distribute to two of my children who were going to live in apartments. I went into a store and found a shelf with
clearance items. Lo and behold there was
a box which held a large set of pots and pans originally for $120 on sale for
$30. It turns out only a lid was
missing. I bought the set, and then I
went to a hardware store and bought a lid.
Those two children, now grown, are still using the pots and pans.
Then I found out that other
stores have similar shelves or corners where they place items at a clearance
price. Sometimes it is a rack they keep
in a certain place. One store with such a rack had two pajama
bottoms reduced by 50%. I took a coupon they
had sent me that offered 40% off. After
using the coupon the pajama bottoms were $6 each. Great gifts for two of my granddaughters.
A bookstore I frequent has
Clearance Shelves. That, too, is a great
source for books which might interest a person.
I’ve bought former bestsellers and hobby books there for $1 each.
Once I went to a restaurant
supply store looking for thick coffee cups which interested my husband. The sales clerk told me the store was not
open to regular customers; however, it did have a table in the back where they
sold odds and ends. I found coffee cups
for $.25 each, cups which thrilled my husband.
Those are examples of bargains
I took advantage of. The main thing is
to identify the places-corners, shelves, racks-where certain stores place their
bargains. Then check them out from time
to time. Good hunting!
