$2 Elf on the Shelf!!

I was in Hobby Lobby on my lunch break a couple of days ago (shocker) and I came across these adorable Elf ornaments. I thought to myself, "hey, those look like the Elf of the Shelf guys." He has wire in his arms and legs and his head moves so you can place him anywhere. He was $3.99, but they are still having their 50% off all Christmas stuff sale....score!

Although the original Elf on the Shelf is SUPER cute and comes with the book and everything, we don't have kids yet so I didn't want to spend $25 on it. I thought this would be a budget savvy but fun way to enjoy this holiday game.
I have a feeling this guy might get into some trouble this holiday season though. Look at the shenanigans he has pulled so far! Chris and I are going to take turns moving him around, so there is no telling where this guy will end up.

Meet Miles Finch (we got his name from the movie Elf. He was the angry elf/ author)

Deals of the Day

It seems like everyone is jumping on the "Deal of the Day" bandwagon. And why not, sites like Groupon, Living Social and Deal Chicken are making it impossible for me consumers not to open their wallets in a frenzy to purchase the deal that will expire in a matter of hours! They even post a little countdown clock to torture you while you ponder over your purchase, like a pushy college sales girl! Just sayin...

And who is the latest to jump on board? You guessed it...Pottery Barn! For the month of December, they will feature one deal a day at a discount. I am excited to see if any of my favorite items make the cut.



Here are some of my other favorite Deal of the Day sites. I like to venture out on Groupon and Living Social to other cities. Sometimes they feature online deals that even a girl from Arizona can take advantage of. Happy Shopping!
