Posted by Sarah on March 8th, 2010 You know how much I love to shop at places like Goodwill with their super low prices and amazing finds (if you look hard enough to find them). I sometimes see other shoppers’ excitement while I am scooting past people, scanning the shelves one by one, but I have been caught off guard twice now with some interesting behavior that I have only seen at the Goodwill.
A few months ago, San and I went looking for a table for him to use in his apartment. He scored a cute round one for around $7. As we were taking it apart to fit in his car in the entryway of the store, a cutely dressed couple came walking past us. The man lifted the woman up into his arms and carried her over the threshold, out the door, and then to their car. A woman outside said, “God bless you both! We need to see more of that! Love like that is hard to find!”
San and I laughed – mostly because we felt like he was expected to carry me to the car. Luckily, with a heavy table in tow that was not possible. I’m not a big PDA person or

Posted by Sarah on March 5th, 2010 Now that I am an avid user of a Digital SLR camera (a Nikon D5000 to be exact), I have been hankering for not only new lenses (or just one new one for now), but also for a more roomy and cute camera bag.
When I bought my camera, I added on an inexpensive kit that included this camera bag:
 Rokinon Leather-Style Holster SLR Carrying Case
It does pretty much all I need it to do right now, seeing as I usually don’t go anywhere, so I don’t need to take my camera with me, and I only have the kit lens that came with the camera, so I don’t need any extra storage. This little carrying case will always be useful when I am on the go and only need one lens, but I plan on purchasing a new lens in the near future and will want more storage, as well as for papers, filters, my point and shoot camera, as well as room to grow.
Here are some options that meet my camera bag requirements that it must be cute and have organized space

Posted by Sarah on March 3rd, 2010 Sunday must have been my day because not only did I finish my room and chalkboards, make a great spaghetti casserole, and think of a great idea for a cheap spring decorating accessory (more on that later this month), but I also scored some great shoes at amazing prices.
San and I decided to stop by the local Goodwill, more to kill time than to buy anything. When I walked in there was a huge section of brand new Target shoes. Not only were they cheap, but they were so cute. I would have probably bought a pair for full price at Target because I liked them that much, but instead I snagged four pairs!
Okay, so I bought three pairs in the same style, but I seriously love them! I love wearing flats, but I have a problem with them cutting into my heels making them unwearable. These are a soft suede that does not cut into my heel and they have a great hard rubber bottom making them great for random Minnesota weather. I also bought the tan ones because they also will not cut into

Posted by Sarah on February 1st, 2010 I am back at my apartment for school and have decided I need to change my spending habits. After buying my digital SLR camera I realized I like to buy things, and although I think I am better at not spending my money on frivolous things than a lot of people my age, I can still do better. San and I have promised one another that we will only go out to eat three times together over the course of the next three and a half months. Even though we both love to cook (he is in the food business and graduated from culinary school as a pastry chef), we are tired on the weekends and go out to eat instead of making food ourselves. This adds up every week and is unnecessary, so we’re cutting it out.
I have personally pledged to buy as little as I can from retail stores. Instead, any clothing, home accessories, cooking items, etc. will be purchased second-hand from consignment stores. San and I like to walk around stores when we spend time together because it is free, but in reality, it causes me to splurge on things I don’t need, and when I say
