Fabulous Finds: Mainstreet Collection

I am a bargain shopaholic.  I am the person who when told, “Oh, I love that …”, immediately responds “I got it at ____________ for $____________.  Can you believe it?”  I imagine this habit is received with mixed reviews.  It is probably considered quite impolite.  However, I am not trying to be tacky.  Rather, I am just trying to share the wealth so to speak.  The wealth of bargain knowledge that I accumulate in my weekly jaunts to my favorite bargain spots :)



Tuesday Morning is not one of my frequent stops.  The reason is that sometimes their prices are phenomenal and sometimes not so much.  It all depends on what I am seeking.  However, I have found it to be THE place for cute monogrammed preppy gifts.  They carry Mainstreet Collection, which includes whimsical bright colored bags, stationary products and other cute items (think Pretty Handbook and vacationing on East Coast beaches). For me, it started with a beach tote and has now become one of my current gift staples.  Following are some of my recent finds; I have posted the prices as found by other retailers on the internet where available.  



  • Write on Me Memo Board: $16.99 on Amazon.com; Paid $3.99
  • Monogrammed Portfolio: $22.00 on Katecarlyle.com; Paid $6.99
  • Monogrammed Photo Frame: $24.99 for similar on Amazon.com; paid $4.99
  • Pink and Green Tote: $28 for totes by MSC on Amazon.com; Paid $9.99
  • Matching Pink and Green Make-up Bag: Paid $6.99

So, get a move to your nearest Tuesday Morning and grab up some of these “Friday Finds”.  Oh, and my apologies in advance if your little one receives one as a gift for an upcoming birthday.  It was just too much of a “Fabulous Find”, not to post.  Cheers!





P.S.            One additional note: I found these cute notepads and notecards at Target for $.30 this week.  On clearance in the dollar section :)  They may be gone but the lesson here is to never overlook the dollar section in Target.
