Have you ever gotten a deal so good, you wanted to mount it over the mantel? (Move over, deer heads. Look at this haul!)
Since I don’t have the time or money to do unlimited shopping, I have to make it count. Join me in finding bargains on the things you need for yourself and your family.
This page contains some of my favorite places to buy things. When you see a product in a post on my site, there is probably a link directly to that product. However, if you look on this page, you may find some very interesting places to browse. Some are famous, some not so famous.
Feel free to go straight to the store from here. Buy a gift for a friend, or something for yourself. Retail therapy is here for you.
Let me give you an explanation of what it’s like to shop from my site. It’s a disclosure of my relationship with the sellers I promote.
One common feature of most blogs is that they promote products which might be of particular interest to the readers. This is done through a product link — you click on the product and go directly to the seller to purchase it. Some links are simply that: links. Others are “affiliate links” which I want to explain.
The blogger [me] obtains permission from the seller [a store or website] to promote their product. The blogger is screened for qualifications and advised of the seller’s policies, and a contract is entered. In return for mentioning products or services, the seller may give the blogger a small commission when a linked item is purchased (or possibly free or discounted products) in return for that promotion.
The good news for the purchaser: This does not increase the cost to the purchaser [you]. It is simply one method of advertising, the cost of which has already been built into the price of the product.
The good news for the blogger: When these fees are received by the blogger (me) it helps to offset the administration costs of the blog, and possibly creates a profit for the blogger.
The good news for the seller: The seller (store) will only pay for the advertising if the product is purchased.
That’s the plain-language explanation. The official term is “affiliate marketing” which can almost be translated as “store promoting” in regular-person talk.
So in short, I’m promoting products I love, and sellers consider that valuable advertising.
Christianbook. This family Christian bookstore is so much more than books. We’ve gotten some of our favorite toys for the grandchildren here. They have a website that is easy to navigate, with lots of categories that make sense! A great selection of Christian home decor.

Lakeside Collection, a crazy cute online (what we used to call mail order) store. I discovered them when I ordered my coat rack. The catalog and online items are so varied. Great things to help you at home, great gifts.

Walmart. I’m old enough to remember before Walmart. When you couldn’t go to one store for milk, a vacuum cleaner, a bird house, and socks. How great is this? Their online marketplace is vast. Shopping has never been easier or more affordable.
