New York Target Haul- items under $5

Happy Friday everyone!

I hope everyone has been having a great week! This week I am visiting my family in New York and I am so excited to be here! The past two days I have spent with my family have been full of laughs and fun and it's exactly what I needed.

So Today I decided to go for a walk through my old neighborhood and visit the Target since it's so close to my parent's house and the one in Fayetteville is a little bit far. And boy am I glad I did!

. If you saw my last shopping haul you'll know that I didn't find much on my last trip to Target but this time although I did not find any shopkins blind boxes, I found some super cute things in the Dollar section as well as a ton of items on clearance throughout the store! So let's dive right in and check out these awesome items!

So every time I go to Target I hit up their dollar section it's honestly been my favorite part of Target since my first year of college. Today was no different I found tons of cute stationery in the dollar section

Check out these super cute mini binder dividers! I actually just made some DIY dividers because I couldn't find any cute ones (Look out for a post on that soon, it's currently in the works.) But these are perfect I love all of the different designs and patterns. [$3]

 Check out all of this super cute stamps These were also in the dollar section  I just had to buy these stamps it has all of the things I love  A cat mermaid, a cute little pineapple, and a tiny little avocado and all for [$1]  Plus I found the matching Ink pad in these beautiful neon colors for [$1]

I also Found these stamps that looked a little bit more like I'm at least trying to be an adult and figured the would not only look pretty would really come in handy for my journal and planner. These were [$3] 

I had to dig through a few things but I was able to find some sticky notes and page flags and they are absolutely gorgeous and I loved all of the different designs they had to offer and but I decided to grab these two because the colors matched the stationery I bought the last time I was at Target.There are 80-page flags and 100 sticky notes and they only cost [$1/each] with designs this cute and prices this cheap they practically put themselves in my cart.

The last thing I picked up in the dollar section was this stationery set that came with a binder divider, page flags, sticky notes & stickers  I fell in love with this set I love all of the stickers and I absolutely adore the page flags with the eyes on them I think they're super cute! This whole set only cost [$3]!

After I left the dollar section I decided to browse around the store and see what things I could find on clearance and there was honestly a few things I would have bought if fitting it all in my suitcase and duffle bag was not something I had to worry about. But I ended up in this huge clearance section full of goodies so I got to digging to see what I could find.

I was able to grab Yet another mini binder It's a little dinged up but nothing a few stickers and maybe some paint couldn't fix and for the price, it couldn't be beaten! I nabbed this binder for [$1.18] can you believe it I was so happy LOL!

I also dug out these simple but lovely binder dividers to use In the 1 inch binder I got from Target the last time they were only [$0.88/per pack of 5 ] I had to grab two packs because I never find pretty dividers that cheap and who knows when I'll need some.

And the Last things I picked up on my Target trip where these cute pink and white binder clips with motivational quotes on the front the pack cost [$1.78] along with these super cute magnetic bookmarks with the cutest sayings on them for [$1.48] 

But the Item that stole the show this Trip are these SUPER CUTE PAPER CLIPS!



Can you tell what they're shaped like? That's right little sloths! I thought they were so cute I just had to have them! They come in four different colors and there are 30 paper clips of each color. the whole pack cost me [$2.00].

I am absolutely in love with all of the things I found in Target and cannot wait to get them back on home to my desk!

Total this trip at Target I spent [$20] Which I feel pretty good about!

NewAddiction ?

So you guys may not know this but I am quite the sticker collector. I have tons of stickers that I have ordered online and just picked up in various stores but and every time I buy a set of stickers I stick one onto my laptop.

But other than that I don't collect much until now!

The other day while browsing through Walmart I decided to pick up something out of the easter section they have at Walmart right now and I have been addicted ever since.

What is my new addiction you ask?

SHOPKINS! 

I know I am a little bit late to the hype of shopkins but I have never really given them the time of day because they are so small but when I opened my surprise package a few days ago I fell in love! 

 

And when they look this cute how can you not fall in love with them. 

Shopkins are down my alley: cute, pastel, and tiny. plus they gave me a pink slice of cake on my first try uh yes!

So far I just have these two but I definitely intend to buy two more of the little easter eggs they have at Walmart tomorrow before I go into work so I will post my new buddies Either Sunday Or Monday! 

 

Moki's Favorite Places to Shop both online & IRL!

I LOVE TO SHOP!

From a very young age, I loved to shop, my aunt Barbara (Barbosa to most of us)  would take me to the flea market once a week to check out the local deals and bring home some sweet merchandise without spending a lot of your sweet sweet money

So that's where and how I learned to bargain shop, I am always looking for not only the best deal but the best selection as well. I like to go into stores and see a lot of nice things, not just a few hidden gems here and there. 

So today I am going to share with you my Favorite places to shop as well as why they're my favorite and what kind of items you can find at each store! 

Favorite Places To Shop till I drop! 

Walmart!

 Walmart is like the holy grail of bargains. Walmart and I have a really special relationship when I first moved to Fayetteville I barely had anything I had a couple hundred bucks in my bank account and did not know much of Fayetteville and what stores were close to me, so when I found out Walmart was within walking distance I was super excited because up in NY  I was rarely ever able to get to a Walmart

Reasons I Love: I love Walmart because you can get everything you need you, your house and your fridge all in one place, Walmart is constantly bringing in new inventory and I love being able to go in there and see something new each time. 

Things I don't like: Customer Service is borderline terrible give or takes a few cashiers at my local Walmart, most people I encounter for help on the floor have no idea how to help me and I understand not knowing a certain department but at least direct me to someone who may be able to help me they're infamous for this line right here "Umm...I don't really know I just work here". What does that mean?! Thank God I know that store like the back of my hand now. 

Amazon

 Now I have to admit, I wasn't always a huge fan of Amazon. I didn't really start to love it until I started a free trial of Amazon Prime and Now I am in love. Being able to have things sent to me as quickly as 2-days free! UH YEAH SIGN ME UP! Plus if you decide you don't necessarily want/need these items in 2 days then you can pick standard shipping and get $5.99 credit for Prime Pantry!

Reasons I Love Prime Deals! Free 2-day shipping 

Things I don't like: There is not much that I don't like about Amazon, to be honest.For some items, the selection can be a little bit limited but other than that there's nothing I can think of if there is something you don't like about Amazon leave it down in the comments and if I think of anything I'll edit it here. 

  eBay!

eBay was is my first love when it comes to online shopping. Ever since middle school, I would buy things online and honestly I've never really been disappointed by them.  Their customer service impeccable so if you do have an issue with a seller or buyer you can ask them to step in and help. The reason they are third on the list is that the shipping times can sometimes be really long which for most items I don't mind like cheap phone cases or various other accessories. But for most things I don't  want to have to wait a month or two for things to get here

Reasons I Love: I love the variety and selection on eBay, you can literally find just about anything on there by the click of a search button. Great customer service, they will help you get money back for items you did not receive or broken items quickly and efficiently. 

Things I don't like Long wait times for some items.

Old Time Pottery!

 Now I felt a bit conflicted about adding this one to my list because I may be a little biased being that I work there but after very much thought I knew I had no idea that this store even existed before it came here to Fayetteville but let me tell you their prices along with their plentiful inventory makes it a great place to shop even better than  Walmart honestly but Walmart outranks them for me just because of the ease of just being able to grab everything in one place. 

OTP is a must visit place for home decor and essentials! 

Reasons I Love: The prices are ridiculously cheap! [ add on my associates discount and it's even cheaper] But even without the discount you'll see they are really inexpensive for good quality products

Things I don't like: Its one of those stores where it's like if you see it and love it and you can grab it grab it because it may not be here next time and once it's gone it's gone for the most part. 

But other than that I love this store!
