Bargain Central

The pool opening is not just about removing the cover and treating the water… there are a lot of things that go along with it… such as cleaning off the deck, bringing out the patio furniture, and getting the yard ready for company after a long and messy winter.   I recently replaced the smaller table set for one that seats six… this is the St. Kitts design (which reminds me of my first Caribbean visit with my Mom and Dad).  It was easy to put together with light stackable chairs which is key in the setting up and storing away.  What was even better, it was on sale for the 4th of July weekend and rang up $250 less than the advertised price and the manager let it stand! 

Another great score was a huge table umbrella at Christmas Tree Shop to replace our old one that had holes in it.  Similar umbrellas cost about $100 but I got this one for under $40.  Don’t you just love a bargain?!

I picked the set and the umbrella up during two different shopping trips months apart and they look like they were sold as a set!  It really fits in the new space created by the patio expansion.
