I have moved “goingfromtiffanytotarget to a new site called “Tiffany to Target” and you can find it HERE
I’m looking to expand a little bit more on what I’ve been doing – which is finding the best buy for our buck.
I hope all of you that have been with me since the beginning and given me so much encouragement and great comments will continue to follow me to our new home, called ‘tiffanytotarget.com.
I’m looking forward to hearing from all of you!
UPDATE: I CANNOT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE RECOMMEND IDEELI, AS I HAVE JUST COME UPON SOME VERY BAD REVIEWS. IF YOU HAVE HAD A GOOD EXPERIENCE WITH THEM, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
I may be late
to the party, but, believe it or not, I have just found the shopping site, ideeli.com.
You have a very easy sign up, and then you are directed to goods that are a fraction of their original price.
Launched in 2007, ideeli conducts limited – time sales that feature great brands at incredible prices.
From Ideeli’: Every day at 12 Noon EST, more than a dozen new sales showcase fashion for men, women and children, home décor and travel, offering the thrill of discovery and the satisfaction of a deal.
Just from my initial look, there are so many things that I want for to buy as gifts or items for my home. You have to move quickly as many of these things are sold quickly and some things are at a daily deal.
The above dress is the TART Sofia Dress, which regularly sells for $194.00 and is now on sale for $69.99.
I had relatives over this week-end. After asking what they would like me to make for them, they said, ‘Tuna Salad’. Easy enough.
As I wanted to make something special, I decided to forego my normal recipe (tuna, mayo, eggs, celery) for a totally different tuna salad. The secret ingredients in this new tuna is the curry and parmesan cheese.
I bought all the ingredients (unlike me, most people probably have most of these at home already) and put it together.
I kind of kept fooling around with the ingredients during taste tests and something just realy felt missing, yet everyone said that it was the best tuna salad they’d ever had, This is called BARBIE’S TUNA SALAD from All Recipes.com.
I believe it needed more crunch and I do believe that, had I added cucumber to it, the taste would have been better,
Anyways, here is the recipe:

It really helps to read the reviews on this (you don’t need to read all 872), as people say what they did to make it more to their liking and some of their suggestions are great. Alot of people also said that they used 1/2 the mayonnaise.
If you get the chance to try it out, please let me know what you think.
I’m sorry it’s been so long since my last post.
We had a family emergency and I hope to be writing regularly again now.
I like to do a series called, “It’s Ugly and Expensive Time”, whereby I show hideously ugly products at an hideously expensive price tag.
Beginning with:
This is from South Beach Swimsuits.com
Luli Fama Jardin Secreto Front Tie Knot Swimsuit L278754 – FINAL SALE
Just one question: Is there an alien getting ready to escape from her left abdomen?
This is on final sale for $105.00, down from $162.00.
Here is another beauty:
Sorella Swim 2012 Black Shoulder Tankini
Just one question: Why are there two differently covered boobs?
This is from the fanous site, hats in the belfry.com.
Christine A. Moore Claudette – Parisisol Big Brim
This monstrosity is $468.00.
I would love to meet the woman who buys this.
This is my favorite ‘ugly’ ring. I’m sorry, but for $1473.00, I think I could find a really, really great handbag. This is by Valerie Egee at Farfetch.com. Here’s the description:
“Bronze ring from Valérie Egée featuring a chunky design with an irregularly formed sculped front with small black stone insets.”
This ring really scares me.
Nothing quite says “I just joined the Sewing Club and this was my first project” quite like this bag.
This sells at the thrifty price of $164.00 from artfulwears.com.
Finally, here is a pair of shoes that are so hideous, yet mange to fetch a price of $950.00 at Barneys.com.
This pair of shoes is by Marcell, called “cut-out ankle boot”. Realllllllllly ugly!
Well, folks, that’s all for today in this installment of IT’S UGLY AND EXPENSIVE.
Tell me your thoughts.
Rest In Peace.
For anyone keeping a kosher house, it can seem pretty daunting pricewise, as kosher food is expensive.
Thanks to a friend (thanks, Marilyn), I was made aware of this great site, called, kosheronabudget.com.
Mara, an orthodox Jewish woman, feeds her family of five and spends no more than $500.00 a month on a “ good deal of organic produce; grass-fed, free range kosher beef (special ordered); plus all of our household items, like laundry detergent, shampoo and toilet paper.”
Plus, there is so much more to read on her site, such as how her family conquered a mountain of debt.
I promise you, this site will inspire you.
Be sure to check out her coupons, stores and deals, and kosher cooking sections. There is something for everyone on this site.
Enjoy!
