DIY: Frumpy gloves to sleek and fitted
I found a pair of gloves at Kohl’s that was the exact style, price (it was about $1 after stacking several coupons and deals), and material I was looking for. The only problem was that the cut was boxy, which made them look frumpy (According to the dictionary “frumpy” only applies to women’s clothing. I […]

Portland palooza
A couple weeks ago we got a chance to go to Portland for our very first time. We went there to attend a wedding, but decided to go a little early to check out the sights. Portland wasn’t exactly our scene, but we still had a good time. We decided to be real tourists and […]
Seein’ San Fran’
We took a trip down to the bay area in April. One of the places we went to was Sushirrito. It’s sushi, but burrito-sized. And burrito-ish flavors. It sounds weird, but it was pretty good. Who can turn down gigantic rolls of sushi you can eat with your hands? We rode on some really old […]
Clearance jackpot!
This weekend we scored the best deal we’ve ever had to date. We went to Lowes and saw a whole rack of clearance that was shrink-wrapped and for sale for $50. The retail value is over $1000! It included stuff like three faucets (including one worth $138), a drill, copper tubing, teacup planters, and dozens […]
Black Friday 2011
Another Black Friday has come and gone, and we have some stories to tell. The in-person Black Friday shopping was disappointing, but we got some sweet deals online (I’ll talk about those at the end of this post). We wanted to buy some things from Wal*Mart, but apparently so did everybody else. The freeway was […]
Fall time deals
Another surplus sale! Lake Washington School District had a surplus sale, so naturally we had to go. We woke up at 6am and stood in the cold for an hour, but it was worth it! We ended up getting a fairly new projector for $25, a big box of tessellation tiles and blocks for $5, […]
If shopping were a sport…
It’s that time of the year again–deal time!! We decided to do a warm-up run before Black Friday just to brush up on our skills. Then we did our infamous Black Friday series; and we even added some more deals that we don’t normally do: food! We actually didn’t have anything we really wanted to […]
Out on the town~
A few weeks ago Jon’s cousin was in town visiting us. We had a lot of fun seeing the sites of Seattle with her! Friday morning, we had a big homemade breakfast then, headed to Seattle to RIDE THE DUCKS! It was a lot more fun than we thought it’d be and was a great […]
Birthday madness
It was my birthday last week. I’m 26 and I’m really feeling the effects. Despite my quickly aging body, we were able to go out and do some fun stuff. REI had a “garage sale” with tons of heavily discounted items. We got there half an hour early and there was already a huge line. […]
