Budget board? More like break my budget board! :lmao:

I come here just to see if there is a deal I just can't pass up! Sometimes I get caught up in the excitement of a thread! Recently I've purchased...
Wii Toy Story Mania-- because $39 was a good price.
Zhu Zhu pets--because they were in stock!
Fannie May candy-- with $10off and free shipping.
I'm sure there's more if I thought about it.

What couldn't you pass up?
 
Oh, funny! My budget is often challenged because of the good deals from the Budget Board!!

* Baggalinni
* crocs and mammoth crocs
* zhu zhu...gave me a head start tho, cuz the kids were in love with them from the commercials
* Vera Bradley
* Old Navy jeans on sale...and played with the Old Navy coupon site daily during back-to-school just cuz it was fun

* I will be on the look out for a Mickey Dooney and Bourke our next trip too!

That's so funny!

TEVA mush- until this board I had no idea there was such a thing as a "comfortable" flip flop (or one that cost around $30 LOL!)

Zhu Zhu Pets -- not even on my kids radar screen, but I got two anyway just because I could, thanks to everyone on the budget board!

I discovered Woot.com :woohoo:

On a serious note, I have learned so much about how to book discount airline tix that I was able to get my mom and aunt tickets on Southwest from Pittsburgh to New Orleans for a funeral with <24 hours notice...for around $250 each! (my mom had been quoted between $600 - $700 each before I stepped in.) And of course we all know they didn't have to pay for checked luggage...;).

Keep it coming Budget Boarders! :goodvibes
 

Keurig coffee maker
Uggs (2 pairs - one for each DD)
Bearpaws (2 pairs - one for niece and one for me)
Walmart $10 movies
Amazon prime free trial (that has cost me a bundle with all the stuff I'm ordering "because shipping is free")
American Eagle jeans and hoodies
Twilight, 80s, and Disney Scene It

This is just what I have purchased recently for Christmas because of this board (and because it fits in with my shopping needs). I've been tempted by many things, but didn't buy them because I didn't "need" them. Like the Vera Bradley sales! I look at them every time because its such a great deal, but really, I think they are ugly (too loud) for me, but I still want one because of the deal. :lmao:

I know I won't remember everything. I'm actually afraid to come on this board because I'm already over-budget for Christmas:lmao:

Corelle dishes( 2 sets-1 for us now, 1 for when my dd goes to college-she's 14:rotfl:

Vera Bradley-3 Hannah bags b/c they were only $15

Bearpaws for my middle dd

Club Penguin for the DS B/C IT WAS $10( I already bought it for 30 lst month but who could pass up a $10 game!)

Victoria Secrets 3 for 30 sweaters and free scarf(niece..well, I'm keeping one sweater)

Band of Brothers DVD

I'm sure there is more. Can you tell I have a problem???:confused3
 
I haven't bought too much, but what I have bought I sure appreciate!

This Christmas?

The Club Penguin DS game.

My little boy asked for this game just this morning! I feel so happy that I have it for him already, and at such a great price!

Recent months?

The Hershey Park Fan Club deal to go to their Halloween celebration. Wow, that was a fun time made possible by the kind person who posted the deal.
 
Free magazines galore.... Carribean Travel, Forbes, Florida Travel, Maxim, etc. Can't come close to reading them all.
 
ZhuZhu hampsters (my girls haven't even asked for them!)
a gymnastics mat (looked for 1 last year but they were too expensive- only cost $50 this year plus free shipping :cool1:)

I think that's it so far although I've seen lots of other things.

I've save a lot of money from what I've learned on this board!! I tell everyone about it but I think they think it's just part of my Disney obsession ;)
