Bargain Shopping

We went out for dinner tonight and since we were in the same area as TRU you know I had to go..LOL. Actually I was asked if I wanted to go since we were out that way already. Of course I said YES. Big disappointment they had nothing I wanted. Justin Bieber dolls are 25% off the already high price. I picked up the couple that I wanted when they were $9.99 a couple of months ago ;O) . 

Finding nothing there I decided to go to Kmart (since we are out there) and I found a beauty I have been coveting since last year. I've been scanning this doll at two different Kmart's for months always the same price. So even for what I knew she was or would be priced  I scanned her. 

 
This beautiful lady came up $3.99!! I had to have John check the scanner because you know I thought I didn't see a digit. I had a START THE CAR!! moment. For those who don't know that's one of my favorite commercials. The lady thinks she's gotten away with that great of a deal so she's yelling at her husband running from the store. Even when the cashier rang me up she was like $4 are there any more back there. I need 3..LOL. I told her to check..heck they may have some hidden in the back.


I'm finally the proud owner of AA Holiday Barbie 2010. I looked to see if there were any more but she was the only one. If that wasn't fate then I'm not sure what is :)

Flea Market Fun

Image
I was talked into going to Englishtown (flea market) and boy am I glad I went. I wasn't enthusiastic at first since we were leaving  after noon which means all the good stuff is usually gone. I didn't take a ton of money but for about $20 I found some goodies I'm proud of.  My 1st find of the day I picked up the Sophie & two NFL Jerseys for $3. I love LIV bodies for body swaps. Those jerseys will come in handy for either the ladies or a couple of guys. Next find I up 3 dolls and 2 books (not pictured) for $6. Not sure which Christie's or Teresa this is. Teresa must be a ballerina (note the purple colored plastic legs). The Christie's are pretty. They came dressed as you see them. Teresa is having a slight wardrobe malfunction. The last find of the day I was uber happy because I spotted the Princess of Ancient Mexico for $4. She doesn't have her headdress,  necklace, or armlets but hey for $4 I'm still happy. I've wanted her for quite...

Mass Blogger Interview Answers For Ms Leo

I decided to answer Ms. Leo interview questions from   I Luv Dolls . Give it a try I'm interested in your answers too When did you start collecting dolls? Oddly enough I didn't start collecting dolls until my late 20's. My brothers had action figures (Star Wars, GI Joe). What was your first purchase as a collector ? My 1st purchase was Kelly Barbie's littlest sister in her crib. I guess we can say I loved the littlest one (at the time) first. How many dolls do you own? Really not sure at this point but figure I have over 300 Kelly & friends. My Fashion Royalty collection is about 130 - 150 at this point (I haven't inventoried lately). I'm pretty sure Barbie & friends is about 350 or more (remember haven't inventoried in a while). This is just a guesstimate so I will say about 800 including all lines but I may be exaggerating since I've also been selling stuff for a few years now..LOL What is your favorite doll and why? I'm not g...

Has anyone noticed that Mattel's Creatable World has taken over? Well, I certainly have. So much so that I now own five of their deluxe packages that includes a doll.  They now have single doll packs, deluxe clothing packs, single clothing packs, and wigs too.
