Hi, my name is ready2bmrsd, and I'm a barginaholic.

Admitting that you have a problem is the first step to recovery, right? Well, let me begin with the admission that I have an unhealthy relationship with clearance items.

I'll take all of them, whatever they are! (Source)

I have always been drawn to "a good deal". My problem is that I tend to see a good deal as an opportunity to buy more than I normally would. For example, I like to crochet. If I find a good price on yarn, I will typically buy more than I would need for one project. The problem is that I hardly ever use the surplus! Same goes for socks, butter knives and batteries. But I am especially guilty of this with craft items. And I have the closets of remnants, paper scraps, glue, glitter and yarn to prove it. I'm not proud, and I am dedicated to change. (Yes I can!)

Then I found it. The stationary/scrapbooking aisle at Target had clearance tags everywhere. I couldn't help myself... I had to see what the tags were attached to. I found two sets of alphabet stamps, and while I was looking for paper, I found my guest book. And refill pages. With orange stickers. JACKPOT!

My guestbook (8.5x8.5 scrapbook) for $7.55

And refill pages (I bought 3) for $2.78 each

I desperately wanted a Polaroid guestbook, and like so many, my world was rocked when I heard that the film was discontinued. But I loved Mrs. Eggplant's guestbook and I think I'll try to do something similar. I plan on buying a Pogo to print guest photos on the spot. My awesome sister in law has agreed to "man" the guestbook table and get pics of our friends and family. I know there are some mixed reviews on the Pogo, but I like that we can keep the pictures in our digital camera and reprint if we need to.

So, without counting the Pogo (you can bet that I'll be looking for it on sale!), my guestbook cost $15.89 (total savings, for those of you keeping score, $6.87). I can't wait until it all comes together!

What has been your best bridal bargin thus far? Where did you find it?
