Ya'll know I talk about Essex all the time but there are other stores I like to go to as well to find Bargains!
Here are some of my favorites:
- Habitat for Humanity Restore: great for building items (old doors, windows, new faucets, sinks..etc)
- Goodwill: (I've gotten some pretty great 80s costumes there before)
- Duncan's Clothing: (Pigeon Forge, Cookeville, Jamestown, and Crossville, TN)
They sell the following Brands: Levi, Dockers, Wrangler, Carhartt, Farmall and FarmBoy/FarmGirl Brand.
They sell items that are irregular or discontinued from the manufacturer, most items that I find don't have any flaws. I have to say that I was going there at first for my Husband's jeans! Then I started into Carhartt for both of us, which we love! Good quality (warm) gear!
And recently they've added Farm Boy and Farm Girl Brand Clothing.
I stumbled upon this new brand and Michael and I laughed all night looking online at their t-shirt sayings. We've got several items on our wish lists!
Great Farm Humor, for example:
"We stand behind all our equipment, except for our Manure Spreaders"
"My cow is dead so I don't need your bull"
"Farm Girls have nice Calves"
- Marti & Liz Shoes: (Franklin, Tullahoma, Cookeville, Murfreesboro- just to name a few)
Great prices on Shoes and Handbags! I've been going to Marti and Liz since I was in 6th grade, at least! This is a great, Christian place to shop. Of all of the stores I've been to in Middle TN, they all play Christian Music while you shop. That always made me feel like I was doing business with the right people! Prepare to spend awhile in the stores! They have shoes divided by size and gender. The prices are all marked on the bottom of the shoes.
It would be slightly embarrassing for me to count how many pairs of shoes in my closet has the price written on the bottoms (I've shopped there a lot)!
- Big Lots
I never leave Big Lots empty handed! They have just about every isle Walmart has, except for the fish isle! :)
I recently purchased my porch umbrella, patio cushions, and Paula Deen Spices at Big Lots!
Also it is my go to place for (cheapish) scrapbook paper packs, ribbon and canvases. The canvases there aren't the best quality but also aren't the worst I've seen. I'm not an expert on painting so the $5 to $12 canvases work well for me! Also, look into getting their card! When you have so many qualifying purchases (over $20) they will send you a 20% off your entire purchase coupon. That is how I purchased my Patio Umbrella for Cheap! :)

- By the way Essex has lots of New Outdoor/ Patio stuff in, along with lawnmowers, coolers, and bicycles!
