I’m going to miss BC. Not only did they have the best selection of Fiesta dishes, but if you mailed in enough Betty Crocker points, you could get free shipping—a bargain hunter’s dream.
Wednesday’s mail brought what will probably be my final shipment from Betty Crocker. Yes, I was a bad girl. I bought LOTS of marked-down Fiesta goodies that I previously had only a lukewarm desire for. But I hold true to a saying my dad taught me: A man will pay $20 for a $10 item he needs. A woman will pay $10 for a $20 item she doesn’t need.
This week’s bargain arrived in that shipment: a pair of cinnabar Fiesta juice pitchers. Retail price on these is $50. Betty Crocker’s liquidation price was $9.99—a little more than 80% off.

Great buy Val. You can never have enough juice pitchers. LOL!!! I am eyeing the framed poster in the background. What is that? Love the shine on that table. Must be one of those you oiled the other day. :-)
Cinnabar has never been one of my favorite colors, but for $10, who could resist? Today I bought six boxes of floor tiles at Lowe's because they were clearing them out for $5 a box...I wasn't even planning to do my kitchen floor for another 9 months!
Ces, the framed poster is called Cafe Martin. I thought it would be clever for the dining room. I got it at Cost Plus World Market. You can see a close up here: http://www.posterstogo.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/cafe%20martin.JPG
Clever and it belongs there. That is perfect. Very nice.
