Second hand chairs, sewing, CVS deals

 Hello blog readers.  I hope you’re all having a good summer.  

I wanted some rolling chairs for my sewing room.  

I didn’t like the retail prices of new chairs.

So we looked at a local thrift store ran by Habitat.  

We bought these 2 for $10 and $2.  

The green one was in great shape but the other one doesn’t match and was missing the back rest cover.  

  

So I looked in my fabric and found some linen like fabric that is a very close green.  

I sewed a simple slip cover for the back rest and stapled on a seat cover.  

There the chairs are in my sewing room.  

I do use both sewing machines.  

One sews knits really well.

I prefer sewing so the older machine and it sews woven fabric just fine so both machines get used.  

I've been the "new" chairs for a week or 2 and really like them

 can you see the pink fuzz on the chair? 

It's from 2 wraparound towels I made for a granddaughter to take to camp.  

and from 3 towel ponchos I sewed at the request of my daughter.  

they were just beach towels with a hole cut in the center that I finished with bias tape and the sides partially sewn so the towels stay in place when wearing. 

blogging problems-

here is supposed to be a very cute little guy modeling a poncho towel-

 I'll add the photo to my next post.  

CVS this week 

not a huge haul but big enough I think the savings add up-

I spent less than a dollar cash for the above and got money for my next weeks trip too.  

If you can't tell from the photo,  I bought a bag of laundry pods, 3 packs mens razors, 2 lipsticks and 2 toothpaste for $0.92. 

if your looking for ways to spend less on home and personal care products,  I really recommend CVS or Walgreens or RiteAid  or whatever store is available to you.  They are all have good deals if you don't mind spending a little effort to work out the best deals for yourself and then use your store earnings to mostly pay for the next deal and so on.
