I scored so many before and after chrissie bargains that two posts are not enough. This post is about the before Xmas goodies, the next post will be about the after Xmas goodies, the post after about the clothing and shoes I scored, and then, in March, the big kahuna of all Xmas goodie months, it will be known as Planner Month! So stay tuned for all of those…but now, here are my before Xmas bargains…

TOP LEFT: Coles $3 red star tray, $17 Lovisa earrings, $3 Kmart erasers.

BOTTOM LEFT: All from Kmart unicorn notebook $2, pineapple paperclips $2, rainbow pencil case $3, to do lists $3 each, Jackie Collins anniversary edition of Thrill $18.

Took mum shopping for the first time in over two years and scored these bargains below.

BOTTOM: All from Typo lips laptop case $15 and blue glitter magnets $2 each

In Colette I bought these gorgeous flamingo earrings for 40% off, making them $10.19. I realised when I got home they would go perfectly with the flamingo jewellery set I already had.

The red earrings I also got from Colette the same day for 40% off, $10.19, and I bought the two blue stone rings on eBay for $43.50 and $48.50

A couple of weeks later while mum was in the hospital, I went shopping.

In Priceline I bought these lip balms for $3.50 each and hand creams for $7, and in Chemist Warehouse I bought the Anna Sui perfume for $20. The bottle is beautiful.

What before xmas goodies did you guys get?
