We've been married for over a year and had only printed and framed a wedding picture with my husband's family. I wanted to display a picture with my family, but since my brother was not able to be at our wedding, I held off until we could have pictures with everyone. We had the first Clement Family picture in 5 years in June, and then it was up to me to find the perfect frame. Problem is, #1 - I'm cheap, and #2 - I don't like thrifted frames...I love a good wood frame and they are usually scratched at Goodwill. I headed to Kohl's in August and found that the frames were 50% off. Even better, the clearance frames were marked down to 75% off. Among the cast off Christmas frames I found this Fetco frame marked down from $29.99.
At the register, I used my Kohl's Charge Card to get an additional 20% off, making the frame only $6.36 with tax. I paid my card off on the spot with some cash and walked to the parking lot with a satisfied look on my face.
For the pictures, I waited until Ritzpix.com had their Tuesday 5x7 print sale (57 cents) and uploaded all three pictures. I picked them up at the store the next day for under $2.
Had I known the whole project would cost under 8 dollars, I would have done it much sooner.

Getting deals makes shopping so much fun. Beautiful frame and the pictures look fabulous too!
Super cute! I love these kinds of frames because it's easy to switch the pictures out, if ever I feel like it.
I'm totally with you on a solid wood frame. Something you might consider for a cheap alternative, when sales are not avaliable:
Solid wood Goodwill frames can be beautified by sanding down and repainting/staining. It's also fun to make a wall collage by getting several of these, and painting them to match!
