Old Navy Weekly!

So for the last couple of weeks, I have been obsessed with the Old Navy Weekly coupons. They update once a week but nobody knows when it will happen. You have to click around to find the good coupons and by good I mean $75 off $100 good. The good coupons are very limited so if you're not on your computer when it updates, you're out of luck. This week, I missed it by 15 minutes or so and ended up with a $50 off $100 coupon. Still pretty good! :)

The goods: me (dress, 2 tops), hubbie (2 shorts, 1 khakis, 1 shirt), baby a (hot bikini!) for a grand total of $56! That averages out to $7 per item!

For more info on Old Navy Weekly and how I find out about updates, leave a comment or question and I promise to respond! :) Happy shopping!

Chicago Antique Market

One of my favorite summertime activities is the Chicago Antique Market. It always starts on Memorial Day Weekend and reopens once a month until September. I love drooling over the antique furniture and imagining all the possibilities. I could spend hours picking through the cases of jewelry for that eye-catching piece. And if nothing else, there's live music, beer and polishes...what could be better?

vintage chanels...probably fakes but still fun to look at!

last year, these hydrangeas went on sale at the end of the day to $1 each!!!

of course i had to bring some home!

The Chicago Antique Market is open this weekend. Check it out!!
