Dedicated: Real Deals Holladay

There’s no shame in looking for a good deal or two. We like ‘em; you like ‘em. Go to Cherie Daniels’ home decor shop tucked in near Oneity and Granatos on 2700 East, and you might learn what a real deal is. That’s the shop’s name, afterall. (Hint: A real deal is just as good if not better than a good deal. Music to your ears, eh?)
Not to be confused with a discount outlet, bargain warehouse or consignment store, Real Deals Holladay is a sizeable Thursday-and-Saturday shop packed with fairly-priced items for outfitting your home—”fairly-priced” being the key phrase, here. Cherie carries goodies from more than 50 vendors worldwide, alll carrying reasonable price tags.

You might go for a raspberry-inspired wreath for your door ($10.74) or a batch of decorative glass eggs ($1.58 each). An eye-catching Asian-style urn goes for just $42.40, while a pair of lion bookends is $21.26. A steal-the-show Cherokee red dresser is just over $300.We liked a set of simple, cinema-themed wall hangings reading “Popcorn,” “Now Showing,” and “Movie Night,” made cuter by complementary popcorn bowls. But head to the back of the store, and you’ll really have fun. Shelves of items marked down 50-60% include a set of white wire birdcages and Adler-esque, oversize knight chess pieces.

There are glass bowls, wooden benches and twig vases to be had—and all the $30-$50 mirrors you can get your hands on. There’s a little something for everyone here, even if it’s not so little. (We had our eyes on a floor-to-ceiling class-paned hutch in sage green.)
Plus, Real Deals Holladay always has a movie-watching area for the kiddos, making shopping here cinchier than it already is. As long as you come on Thursday or Saturday.
