A Lil Friday Night Retail Therapy at Santa Fe Springs Swapmeet

After the shock of turning my hair orange (yes my quest to go lighter was a disaster and yes I was warned) luckily I have a great fiance he felt so bad for me about my orange disaster that he paid for me to get my hair professionaly done so thank god no more orange hair and its actually the color I wanted. After that disaster I needed some retail therapy. I didn't really need anything but I really needed to complete the baskets I had been working on for a couple of weeks now for my nieces who are graduating from Junior High next week. I had already found somethings such as:
Lip Gloss Make up Kit Purchased at Sears with an additional 75% off the marked price. I had already purchased some candy and necklaces (3) as well as 2 pairs of earrings but I needed to beef up the gift so I decided the best way to do this was to head down to the Santa Fe Springs Night Swapmeet.
The best thing about this swapmeet is if you don't have anything planned that Friday evening its something to do and the cost is minimal if you like old hard heavy medal or rock on Friday nights they have a live band and some are actually pretty good. On Friday nights the swapmeet opens up at 6pm but I would suggest getting there around 7pm the parking is free and if you get there after 8pm parking may become dificult. The cost to get in is $1.50 per person but the cost is well worth the items you can potentially get. For one if you love makeup and nail polish its a good place to find a lot of $1.00 and 2 for $1.00 deals. If you love MAC makeup then you definately want to check out all the different vendors with tons of MAC and Hello Kitty MAC makeup they also sell several different types of MAC Brushes all way below retail cost. I love to pick up earrings, purses, skinny jeans and makeup which you can find for a reasonable price and usually name brand if you look for the skinny jeans make sure you try them on because sizes vary.
Some of the items I picked up were a pair of skinny jeans, perfume, nail polish, earrings, bracelets in total I spent $43.00 dollars well below actual retail price. My nieces baskets break down as follows:
Basket 1:
Dollar Tree Purchases:
Grad Dog $1.00
Shredded Red String $0.50
Nail Polish $1.00
Basket $1.00
Candy $1.00
Bag $0.50
Items Purchased at 99 cent Store
Necklaces qty (2) $1.98
Sears:
Lip Gloss Kit with an additional 75% off $1.25
Santa Fe Springs Swapmeet
Bracelets qty (2) $2.00
Perfume $5.00

Total Amount Spent $15.00 One of the girls basket was a little different because she has pierced ears so instead I added more earrings then necklaces but in total spent $15.00 as well. In total I spent $30.00 for two graduation presents. It was fun searching and creating these baskets and I really hope they enjoy them.
The Santa Fe Springs Swapmeet does have some good deals so if you have some spare time on a Friday night check it out. That's all to report and Happy Bargain Shopping.
