Men, you need not dawdle, this is for us girls to ooh and ahh. Unless you like talking about shopping deals, and bedding linens. Or gay. Either way, you’ve been warned.

Anyway, I mentioned last week that there was a this junky hole of a place practically in my backyard that gets all the Target (and Kmart/Martha Stewart, and other places) clearance cast offs by the truckload. They just throw them out into a dilapidated old store with missing ceiling tiles and birds living inside and let people in. Some stuff is broken, some merely scratched, other stuff is out of package, some stuff is perfect, it’s all very mix and match; thus the nickname Bargain Pit.

Well, today, I took my brother and his lovely wife and I scored BIG time. They have a large aisle of bedding and stuff - there are some real freaking gems in there.

For instance I got (I knew it was from a Target line) Fieldcrest 400 Thread count Egyptian Cotton King size duvet cover for $8. Yeah you read that right - $120 in savings*.

I also got a “bed skirt” to match but when I got it home I discovered it was repackaged and it was in fact THREE pillow shams to go with the duvet. Two matching cotton ones and a 100% silk satin embroidered quilt one, like this, only in the taupe color to match everything … all three of those were… $6. The silk is OMG amazing. I have no idea what I will do with it, yet, other than be buried with it. We’re really not ‘decorative bed pillow” type folks.

*(I’m such a junkie I can tell you that those prices on the website are actually marked down for that entire line, they were even more in the store.)

And to think Mr Man was fighting my buying anything!
