Those pesty stickers, but what a deal!!!

Well we all know, nothing makes a Old Southern Women happier than a deal.  You know, half price, discount stores.  Here in Mississippi we have this wonderful, amazing place called Dirt Cheap.  It like Christmas morning when they get a new shipment. ( You can sign up for emails, so about 6:00 I check my email to see what shipment they are getting)

So excited, get up early, don't worry about makeup, WE ARE going bargain shopping today. And it's once a week, Black Friday every week. And Ladies let me tell you, you better get there early , have your cart ready, and running shoes on.  I will give you another hint from a professional,  keep a little pocket knife and a measuring tape in your purse, trust me you will need them.

When those doors are unlocked , the race is on.  My mother-in-law used to go with me but her health prohibits that now, but we had a system, She was the guard over the buggy.  Honey yes, they will steal your stuff out of your buggy. It is a jungle in there on shipment day.

I have decorated my home, my deck, all my family's homes from this wonderful place.  My husband, bless his soul, tries to monitor my Dirt Cheap shopping trips.  But he knows, when I take the truck, it is Dirt Cheap Day and it's just in his best interest to be home to unload all my goodies.

The downside to all these wonderful bargains, is those gosh awful stickers they put on everything, and Lord help me the tape, I am talking about wide sticky tape.  You can not get this stuff off.  I wonder how in the world do they make a profit with the amount of this tape they use. 

Well, my secret is this amazing stuff called Goof Off, Girls it will melt away those awful stickers and the left over residue from all that tape.  I used to use peanut butter, but Lord it could take days for it to work.  This stuff, just put some on a paper towel, if it is a thick sticker just hold it on there for a minute, then take the clean part of your paper towel and clean it up.

The best part is this stuff is cheap.  It only takes a little and if you are lucky enough to have my other favorite store, The Dollar Tree, in your area,  you can get a small bottle, for " of course a dollar.

Tonight I cleaned the yucky stuff off my $4.00 tea maker ( retails for $39.95) and my new jewelry box, $6.00 ( Target retail $39.99) and they look wonderful.  This Old Southern Women is going to bed happy
