In my favorite department at Marden’s, fabric for anyone new to the blog, I almost always find a bargain. This day I picked up three quilting magazines for $.99 each and one knitting magazine for $.50. Yes, they are outdated, but I don’t mind.
Some of my best patterns have been in old magazines. You can already see where I’ve put a post-it for an upcoming quilt.
Marden’s slogan is, ‘I Should’ve Bought It When I Saw It!!’ I’ve come to live by it. Especially if there’s only one or two of what I’m looking at. Stuff seems to sell quite quickly. If there’s a lot, I might ponder the needs versus wants and see if it’s still there on my next trip.
Here’s an example of my not pondering and buying it when I saw it. I found these jeans for $2.00!! One reason I didn’t hesitate was because they were the only pair of jeans, the rest were dressier and not what I needed. It’s also an example of where they came from, the store, Catherine’s.
When I was teaching Home Economics in my clothing construction classes I had a unit on whether to buy or sew something. Part of the analysis was cost effectiveness. For $2.00, I couldn’t even buy the fabric for the jeans, let alone figure in my sewing time. Another bargain!!
It won’t be long until I plant these guys!! A steal at 4/$1.00. This time I bought them when I saw them!! There have been times I’ve waited too long and there’s no sunflower seeds left.
Psalm 71:14 As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more.
