Bargain Sale November 4th & 5th

If you live in Wilmington, NC or surrounding areas, be sure to catch the Junior League of Wilmington's annual Bargain Sale on Saturday, November 5th from 7:30 am to 1:30 pm.  An admission of only $3 gives you access to new and gently used adult clothing, children’s items, furniture, household goods, books, electronics, and more.  My favorite part is the “Unique Boutique” which features donations from local businesses, including Beanie and Cecil, Lula Balou, Fisherman’s Wife, Aqua Fedora, Uppity Lou's, Gentlemen’s Corner, The Plant Place, Redix, Transplanted Garden, Shops at Seagate, and many more.  Not only will you find great bargains at the sale but you will also be giving back to the community.  All proceeds from the Bargain Sale go directly to Junior League projects and affiliation with Sunset Park Elementary and the Blue Ribbon Commission’s Youth Enrichment Zone to help create a positive change in the lives of Wilmington’s children and families.  I don't know how a day of shopping could feel anymore rewarding!

 

Looking for something to do Friday night?  Get first dibs on the deals at the Sip & Shop Bargain Sale preview November 4th from 6:30-8:30 pm.  $6 admission lets you be the first in the door to peruse the sale.  If that's not enticing enough, while you shop you will be able to enjoy live music by Sai Collins, delicious food from local restaurants, and a cash bar with drinks from local wineries and specialty stores.  Although items on Friday night are double the marked price and children’s items are not for sale until Saturday morning, a ticket to the “Sip and Shop” gains you free access into the Bargain Sale on Saturday.  It should be a great way to fill your weekend.  I'll be there Friday night and Saturday morning...I hope to see you there!

Harris Teeter Weekly Menu Oct 30 - Nov 5

I started planning this menu last week and didn't realize until putting the post together that I had included Santa Fe Soup.  The first Halloween my husband and I spent together I brought this meal to his house and we handed out candy to trick-or-treaters...all five of them.  After remembering this, it was a given that I had to make Sante Fe Soup Monday's meal!  I hope you, your family and/or friends have a Happy Halloween and make your own new memories...possibly with this recipe that is very special to us.  The subtotal this week is right under $50.

Harris Teeter Weekly Menu October 23-29

I'm in NYC for a girls weekend and appropriately enough, I have a taxi cab confession.  Last week I walked into Harris Teeter to find almost all of their canned beans on sale for .50 each!  I try not to be a crazy coupon lady but I do have to admit that I cleared the store shelf of the last black beans (gasp!).  In my defense, there were only 5 cans left and hey, that's what rain checks are for, right? No fear if you missed out though because the amazing bean sale continues.  We will be taking advantage of this sale this week and next so clear some space in your pantry and/or cabinets. Also, if it wasn't already obvious by my menus, I'm loving the great sales on fall squash in most of the grocery store!  Don't forget to grab the Blue Diamond Almond deal as well.  

The subtotal for this week's menu is $56.  It's a little higher than usual but I consider it a deal for indulging in risotto and scallops.  Enjoy!

Holiday Deals: Hazelwood Soap Co Giveaway

I grew up in Waynesville, NC and am proud to boast that it is the home of Hazelwood Soap Company, a family owned business that specializes in artisanal bath, body and home products.  Using only the finest natural ingredients and essential oils, it’s no surprise they were featured as a part of the 31^st Annual News & Documentary Emmy Awards Swag Bags.  This is a must stop shop if you’re visiting the beautiful mountains of western North Carolina. 

Hazelwood Soap Co is running an amazing promotion on their Holiday Magic Box.  It includes a shea butter lip balm (my favorite), a soy wax candle, and a travel size versatile wash.  Being a planner, I love the deal scenario:

Oct 1-31: Boxes are $12 each
