Friday Bargain Bin: What to Do With Your Allowance This Week
Jonathan Adler Banana Salt & Pepper Shakers, $28.80 (were $48)
I mean, what do you want me to say? That you should get these instead?
Love Ady Lace Dress, $41.30 (was $118)
Classic. Perfect! Belt it or don’t; it comes in gray too. And while you’re there, grab these:
Bormioli Rocco Bottles, $7.99 (were $10)
I know what you’re thinking: you can probably find these for super cheap at Cost Plus. Now look at your kitchen window sill — nothing but dust. So, we can do this the easy way, or we can do this the hard way. Up to you.
6 Set of Post Earrings, Gift Boxed, $14.99 (were $24)
Fill all your holes again.
Leather Metallic Laptop Case, $30.44 (was $60.88)
Boom. This is the answer. Slip one of these in there too:
Artisan Leather Kindle Cover, $34.99 (was $69)
I know one of these. It looks cooler with age.
Calvin Klein PJs or Undies, Depending How You Look at It, $25.40 (were $58)
That’s for the top and the bottoms.
Kimchi Blue Spring Loafer, $14.99 (were $29)
These are so cheap and not made out of leather that you could accidentally wear them in a rainstorm and not even care if you have to throw them away later. They also come in a lavender version.
Glass Glitter, $10 (was $20)
What is this stuff for? It looks dangerous, but also pretty, and comes in four shades.
Cable Knit Zip Cardigan, $9.99 (was $59)
Definitely snaggy, right Edith? But who cares, it was ten bucks.
Grow-Me Kit, $4.99 (was $10)
You can try a hot pepper plant, sweet peas, or sunflowers, and it looks like the pot itself is plantable. (Go for the peppers.)
Paper Tiger Yellow Printed Top, $28 (was $56)
One flattering shape there. Top it off with this:
Gogo Philip Perfume Bottle Pendant, $20.87 (was $29.57)
I’d probably use mine for potions instead, but really, the possibilities are endless.
Papier-mâché Animal Sculpture, $99.99 (was $129)
Springboks are back, and you know they can never be wack. (Okay, this is technically a gemsbok — great name! — which is a new animal we just learned of.) This isn’t even included in the Bin as a joke — a papier-mâché animal mount delivers more bang for your buck (puns!) than just about any other piece of art you or I can afford. There’s even an elephant and a hippo and they were all made in Haiti. This concludes A Very Serious Bargain Bin Recommendation.
