Hello, my bucket list, friends ! In this blog post, I’m going to tell you about some of my favorite things that have happened recently. Including a trip to my favorite local thrift store! Now, let’s get to it

April 9th – This was the day I went to my favorite local thrift store. I love getting books here, but I only got one book this time. It’s a guided journal that I have already started writing in. I did not find a lot of books but I did find a lot of other things including a build a bear plush, a Target dog plush, stickers, a bag of letter beads, a Pez dispenser, a Hot Wheels airplane, a zipper pouch with a very cute design, and a Barbie DVD. It was also a very sunny day when I went thrift shopping. I also stopped by my favorite candy store, and I got a Peeps pop-up lollypop that was on sale.

April 10th – On this day, I got a Walmart delivery with Instacart. I got a lot of great items, including bath bombs, Barbie dolls, stickers , paint, a painting craft kit, markers, and coloring pages. I don’t do it very often, but I love getting Instacart deliveries. I love the wide variety of items that you can choose from. I love all the stickers that I was able to get! The sticker book that I got is really cool. I also love the sparkly heart stickers.

April 11th – It was another beautiful sunny spring day. I got outside and enjoyed it, but I also had to go inside and do my taxes. I dread doing my taxes, so when It was finished. I ordered Panera Bread through Uber Eats. I got my favorite veggie sandwich and a large cup of much needed hazelnut coffee. I love Panera Bread’s hazelnut coffee.

April 12th, on this day, I finished painting the shark that I had gotten in my Instacart order. I love how it looks!

Other things !

Buying cool stuff from work – I’ve gotten a lot of things from work lately. I know that is not very surprising since I always do that! However, there are new summer items out at my work. I love the toy fishing game that I got. Some other items that I have gotten lately are Hot Wheel cars, Sharpie pens , scented markers, a toy taco that comes with squishy toys, and chocolate that comes with toys.

Getting stickers from Trader Joe’s – On Sunday, I went to Trader Joe’s, and I got a free coloring page and free stickers! I love getting free stickers at Trader Joe’s, and this time, I got a lot of them.

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I wanted to get caught up on my blog posts so I’m going start with this one that is mainly about shopping but I do have some other things I want to discuss that I will put towards the end of this post. Also,I did a fun coloring page, and I will be doing a post about that soon. Without any more delay, let’s get to it!

Saturday’s Target trip – After going to the travel show, I went to Target. I had some coupons clipped on the Target app that I wanted to use. I was happy to see that there was a coupon that I could use for stickers. In the dollar section, I got a confetti crayon, shoe charms, and a water toy. In the Barbie section, I got a cutie reveal pet. In another part of the toy section, I got a kinetic sand toy .I also got a craft kit and, of course, the stickers that I had a coupon for. Oh, I also got a Barbie bath bomb!

Things I bought from work – I love going shopping at my work! I get a good employee discount. On Friday, I got another mini notebook, mechanical pencils, and a craft kit. Sunday was Saint Patrick’s day. I did dress up a little bit for the day. I bought a light up clover necklace at work this day. I also got two Easter toys because there was a sale. I also got a toy that is similar to color reveal toys that was on clearance. Some post-it notes and glitter glue. I love buying items on clearance!

Yesterday, I bought two clearance items at work, and those items are a hot wheels playset and a set of markers. I also got some of my favorite candies that were also on clearance.

Other things I want to talk about!

I may cross another item off of my bucket list soon . It is not a huge item, but it will be exciting to cross off a second list item this year.

I’ve been thinking about adding more items to my bucket list – I had already been thinking about it but since I went to the travel and adventure show I have been more inspired to add more items to my list. If you have any suggestions for list items, I would love to hear them.

Target shopping and a cute turtle

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’ve gotten behind on blog posts lately. If you follow me on Instagram (Summerrockstar) or X aka Twitter ( mallstar), you know that I went on a vacation to Death Valley National Park. There may be some of you who are waiting for my posts about that, and I will get to it soon. However, before that, I wanted to do a post about a shopping trip to Target that I went on as well as an item that I got at another store. With all that being said, let’s get to it!

Saturday 2/ 17 On this day, I had work, but I left the house early so I could have time to go to Target before work. I got two bath bombs. Target has one of my favorite brands of bath bombs that have prizes inside! I also got some fun items in the dollar section, like light up bath cubes and shoe charms. In the seasonal section, I got an egg with a toy hidden inside. Other items I got included stickers and a hair clip. It was a good Target run. After Target, we went to Whole Foods. At Whole Foods, I got this plush turtle that hugs you. I had it on my arm the rest of the day, including at work. Speaking of work, I got two more surprise eggs that have toys inside. I’m excited to see what toys they have in them.

My first Savers haul of 2024

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! On Wednesday, I went to Savers for the first time this year. I got to spend a good amount of the there. I got a lot of craft kits, including an American Girl craft kit. I also got two Barbie dolls, a pair of sunglasses, a bag full of American flag pins, and some books. I was hoping that I would find more books than I did. I was really hoping to find some Barbie or American Girl books that I didn’t have, but unfortunately, I didn’t. But I did get some My Little Pony books and two short animal books. One highlight of this thrift shopping trip was when I got this beautiful Justice brand tote bag. It looks like it hasn’t been used at all. I also got a braclet that had the original tag on it. There were  a good amount of Squishmallows here, but I didn’t see any that I really wanted. Overall, I’m happy with my first Savers trip of the year. I  wonder what other items I will get at thrift stores this year.

The little things I enjoyed on Sunday and Monday

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends. One of my favorite sayings is enjoy the little things. I wanted to highlight the little things I loved on Sunday and Monday. Without any more delay, let’s get to it!

Sunday – I started work later in the day. I sept in and took it easy until it was time to leave for work. Before work, I went to Safeway, where I got food and a hot wheels car. Then I went to get coffee. After that, I went to work early so I could buy something before I had to clock in. I bought this super cute Melissa and Doug sticker activity kit. Also, during my day at work, I got two chocolates that have toys inside and a container of squishy toys that are part of our Valentines Day seasonal items.

Monday – I had this day off! I slept in again, and I took it easy until my mom and I went into town. Our first stop was coffee, of course, then Pet Co, where I saw some very cute kittens. After Pet Co, I went to my favorite local party supplies store. I have been coming here since I was a kid. Being there made me feel young again. I got four pencils for a dollar because that’s something I would have gotten as a kid. I also got some some plastic sea animals, rubber ducks, a Pez disperser that is shaped like a truck, and a pen with a plastic heart on top. After that we went for a walk in the park. There is supposed to be rain coming this way soon, so it was nice to get outside for a walk. After our walk, I went to the movie theater to pick up a prize pack that I had won. Before walking back to the car, I went to the candy store, and I got some of the stickers that they had there.

There you have it some of the little things that I have enjoyed lately!

Thanks for reading I hope you are enjoying the little things! – Christina Epperly

Lots of clearance shopping and buying new seasonal items

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! As some of you know, I work at Walgreens. One of my favorite sections of the store is the seasonal isle. Right now, there are some big changes going on in the seasonal isle. The Christmas items are on clearance, and the Valentines Day items are being put on the shelves. We are also putting out more outdoor toys. I have done my fair share of clearance shopping. I’m surprised at how many times are left. I’ve gotten some great clearance items, including a gel timer and surprise toys that also come with candy, a leopard print tumbler, a bucket of fake snow that has toys inside, nail stickers, GooToobz toys, a Squishmallow hooded blanket, and a drawing game. I’ve also been getting some of the new seasonal items. I got some Valentine’s Day Pez dispensers, a bucket of outdoor toys, and a squishy toy shaped like an ice cream cone. I’m excited to see what seasonal items will be on the shelves next! Have you bought any clearance items this year?

A new squishmallow and another trip to the mall!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! It’s January, but stores are getting for Valentine’s Day. That includes the store where I work. I was very happy when I saw that we had some Valentine’s Day Squishmallows out. I chose a cat squishmallow that is holding a heart. She is super cute, and I was very excited to bring her home with me. Yesterday, I went to the mall for the 2nd time this year. The main reason I went was to get a massage, but I also stopped by Claire’s. I got some cute hair bows and other hair accessories. I also got two bracelets. I feel good overall about how this year has started.

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! On Friday, we had an employee shopping day at work where we got a bigger discount than normal. I had the day off but I came in to shop. I mainly got household items, but I also got a large Squishmallow and a pair of fuzzy socks! The next day at work, I noticed a Barbie activity kit that I had not seen before. I was so excited when it came time for my break. I went and bought it right away! It is a simple kit that has an activity pad and stickers, but I’m still really happy that I got it!
