Woo!! its Payday again!! the best thing about going to work is the actual getting paid part!! and of course sometimes the people you work with too.
So this pay day i have bought things ready for our stay-cation at Butlins Minehead, super excited as we have never been down that way before that and its time away with my beautiful family. Butlins is the place to be with little kids too, everything they could possibly want or need is on site their breakfast and dinner is included all i have to do is chaperone *thumbs up emoji*
Back to my payday bargains.
We have been here and there really we don't always go to the same shops i know some people stick to the same shops all the time, me i just tend to go to where ever is cheap or has a sale on!! who doesn't love a good bargain tho am i right?!
So we went to pep & co in Corby (that is our nearest store) we ended up here as i had seen a few bits in one of my favorite mum vlog videos on www.brummymummyof2.co.uk (love her!) so we don't always travel just to go to these places but it was a nice drive and nice to be some where different. we found this shop very cheap and the clothes are gorgeous i think we will be going back at some point as its too good not to. So from here we got quite a bit for my bigger girl most if not all in the sale too (winner!) Everything in here was very bright and colourful we loved it as especially with this summer rain it was so nice to see bright colours.
Ellie got some MORE flip flops at £1 a pretty ditsy floral top in 3-4 years £4 this wasn't in the sale but was still a bargain price and so stinking cute!
Mummy got a watermelon t-shirt £3 and some filp flops too these were £1 also.
Alexa got: a pair of hareem trousers with a funky print on these were £6 down to £4 i got these in 7-8 years they look a bit long but i thought it would be good as they are elasticated bottoms and a loose fit, A blue an white dress which should have been £8 down to £5.50 again in 7-8 years i always get dresses bigger as they will look ok weather its a bit long or a bit short, A denim Dress should have been £6 down to £4 this could be worn during the day or evening she could pair it with leggings or just wear it on its own so i really liked this (and daddy picked it!) The we found this pretty floaty flower skirt which should have been £5 down to £3.50 this was her pick and i had to agree as it's very pretty and she loves a floaty skirt oh and she also got a pair of flip flops £1
All in we spent £27 which for what we got was a real bargain i love this store and we will be back. Thank you Pep&Co and also Emma at www.brummymummyof2.co.uk for the heads up.
We have been collecting little bits and bobs to go in a bag for each of them for their holiday we plan on giving them to the girls when we leave so first thing in the morning. The bags are from home bargains (again in Corby) they were £3.29 for Ellie's its slightly smaller and £4.99 for Alexa's which is huge! so at the moment we have lots of little bits and pieces that i am hoping will keep them entertained for a little while at least, (that or they will just argue over who's is who's even tho they have exactly the same) They have pencils 75p from asda, colouring books £1.75 from asda, a beach ball £1 poundland, some water bomb/ball things £1 poundland, a little build your plane these were 2 for £1 in poundland, disney lego mini figures these are £2.50 in asda and some other bits and pieces. any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated as these two fight like cat and dog and it's a good 3 hour car journey!!
* i would take a photo but i cant with the girls around as they are a surprise *
So in Corby there is a Argos clearance warehouse. It is like a treasure trove you can go in there one day and find some really good deals and then other days you can go in there with something in mind and come out with nothing. But today was one of those good days!! This mumma has made a dent on christmas!! yes i said that C word (no not the naughty one!) So today i got 2 Disney princess make up bags one for each of the girls these were £3.99 each, i got Ellie a sofia the first mermaid play set for £7.99 and Alexa a Lite brix set for £7.19 (this one was prices up wrong but they still honored it) All of these should have been alot more but they also had an extra 20% so i am overly pleased with these bargains we also picked up a few other bits but i can't post them as they are for family and they may read this and that will spoil the suprise so i can tell you that in here we spent £35.13 in total all but one thing to put away for the big man in red. Ohh also for Christmas i got the girls some new tsum tsum bowls and plates from asda at £1 each they love tsum tsums and a snack pot each for £1 from asda too (they may get these sooner i'm not sure yet)
So these are my pay day bargains i got a few other bits and pieces for my self from Asda as the girls already have full suit cases just of their clothes so i decided enough was enough for them i guess i might need some thing to wear. I won't bore you with posting about the bits for me as that's boring and well i cannot be bothered to go and find them!*face palm*
We also visited our new B&M store but the staff were extremely rude and quite frankly they are selling the same tat that most stores sell for a similar price too. The staff didn't even greet you when you went in or when you were at the till the lady at the till didn't even look up at us, there was one guy on the shop floor actually swore in front of us!! I would not recommend any one step foot in here until they train their staff how to give good customer service.
We also have a new Smyths toy store opening but that opens today so i plan on visiting this soon and i will let you know how we found this store.
So that's it for payday (well a few days) we didn't go mad as we are saving and we also have a holiday coming up too.
Have you found any bargains this pay day?! show me what you found.
I do love a good bargain!
