Steals & Deals

Old Shopping Proverb:  When you are looking for something you will never find it.  When you aren't looking, you will hit the jackpot.

I have found some good shopping deals over the past few days and even some that I will categorize as steals. 

Of course, I got sucked into the Bath & Body Works annual June sale.  I got some deals.  Most of it is going in my gift closet.

I then stopped by Ann Taylor Outlet store.  I was actually making a payment on my Ann Taylor card because I didn't get it sent off in the mail early enough, and didn't want it to be late.  While in there, I noticed that they had an additional 40% off their clearance section.  Now the last 60 times I've gone looking for dress pants, I've had zero luck.  But I thought, Well since I'm not really looking, maybe I'll find some.  And woo-hoo, I did! 

I got these three pair of pants...
The brown and black dress pants (left & center) were normally $80 each.   I got one for $20 and the other for $23.  The black corduroy pants on the right... yea, they were my steal.  Original price $60...paid $2.86! 

I also had been in the market for some shrugs or cardigans to go over my maxi dresses.  I found a white one at Old Navy last week, but couldn't locate a black one in store.  I placed an order from Old Navy online that still hasn't come in yet.  So when I found this one at Ann Taylor, I snatched it right up...
Regular price $60...paid $11.99!

Swiss Oatmeal {Copy Cat Recipe}

I'm obsessed with Swiss Oatmeal.  I particularly love   Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal.  If you are not familiar with Swiss Oatmeal, it is a cold oatmeal cereal with fruit and nuts. I've had a similar recipe for years, but it was only similar.  It wasn't close enough for my liking.  So I finally set out into the land of Pinterest to find a recipe that was a good Copy Cat.  I found a few, combined them and came up with what I think is a very close Copy Cat Recipe of Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things.  The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)... Here's the Phase 1 ingredients...   Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too)    I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 becau...
