Woo Hoo! Another bargain!

I had forgotten that there was a Kris Kringle fair at one of the nearby churches today and I had told Eli that I would bring him to it. It finally dawned on me at about 1pm and I quickly turned on the community access channel to find the ad again. We saw the ad, quickly headed down and got there with about 15mins to spare!

For $9 we got:

2 items that Eli picked out as gifts for G & Q (25c ea)
1 item that Eli picked out as a gift for Daddy (50c)
2 clever little items I picked up for silly tokens for friends (50c ea)
2 felt embroidered tote bags with a wooden toy in each ($2 ea)
3 Beanie Babies (3/$1)
1 item that I'll give to David for Christmas (50c)
1 6qt crockpot (50c !!)
The crockpot was clearly the biggest bargain and I'm just tickled because David and I have been saying that we really need to replace ours. Done! It didn't have a lid, but that's really no biggie; we've used plates in the past on our old one and it worked fine. I'll find out if I can get replacement either on Freecycle or direct fro Rival if I need to.
Later, I had to go to Rite Aid for children's Motrin for Nikol (didn't have any coupons and it wasn't on sale so I just bought the store brand) and as I was standing in line, I saw that there were a few Halloween costumes for 75% off and among all the long black gothic styles was one itty bitty little 2T angel costume. Yeah, it came home with me LOL I put it into the tote for next year's Halloween. To go along with the witch hat, face paint crayons and false eyelashes that I got on clearance at CVS last night. :-)

Now to go check out crock pot sites and come up with recipes for the coming week!

Oh yes I remember :-) Thanks! The taco soup may actually be something that even Mr Monk (Quinn) will eat.
