Setting up home

Jul 24, 2006 14:53

As soon as my divorce is final, I'm going to be closing on a condo; already have it picked out, placed binder fee, and applying for mortgage. I've been shopping around for things I'll need and trying to figure out how best to balance what I want versus what I need and can afford ( Read more... )

The Outlets Mall in St Augustine will undoubtedly be having a labor day sale. You can save tons of cash on your pots and pans and kitchen gadgets..

Also the Dollar store is your friend for basic kitchen stuff like pizza cutters, etc.

I agree with the dollar store. I know I can't wait until i can buy some things for my place.

I checked out the Dollar Store yesterday, you're both right. There were many of the things I needed there. One weird thing, I could find measuring spoons but not measuring cups?

weird. Try dollar general or family dollar... or a different dollar store. I am fairly certain that family dollar has them. If not i am pretty sure i have several sets.

I really should check the flea market before I buy anything, for some reason that just totally slipped my mind. Yard sales would work, except, well... I'm lazy and don't like to get up early!

yanno you so totally missed the sidewalk sale. i still got the discount for ya tho.

Thanks... I'll have to go up there sometime when you're not working.

Doh!

Decor: I think I'll stick with a simple black and red color scheme, keep it simple.

You NEED to go to Target then.
One of their new dorm room decor things is all in black/red/white color schemes. Granted, the bedding wouldn't be suited for you (unless you have a full or smaller bed); but they have paintings, trash cans, magnets, rugs, towels, pillows, and all of that stuff that ties a room together.
They're really pretty fucking awesome (black and white city scapes and things of that nature). Plus, i believe most of the Isaac stuff is on clearance from last season, and most of it (like clocks and things) are chrome, so they would look dope with a black/white/red thing.

Me, Mark, and JenX are going on Wednesday, if you would like to come. Mark has class at 5, so we would probably go around 2-3ish. If that works for you, give me a call on my cell, or Mark's. I'll post the number later iffins you need it.

I can certainly take a lunch break, I think shopping with you guys would be a blast. Yeah, I don't have the number, my email addy's justwaiting4now@yahoo.com if you want a secure way to get a hold of me.

sorry about the cancelling and stuff. Now that i have your cell, i'll just text you with my number.

This coming up wednesday we *should* be going (so, ya know...in case anyone wants to meet me in the parking lot and beat my ass *gigglesnort*). When i went on tuesday they still had all sorts of stuff you would have loved.

We'll shop together at some point, being as Target is the land of awesome.
