Thrift Finds

[nocashmissy]

Goodwill is 50% off this weekend. I will be heading that way in alittle while. I havent' been for awhile. I've been really bad on the spending. but it feels good to buy something Brand New. I did get some good deals at Goody's last week. I got a pair of capri pants, purse, shoes ,shirt , panties for like $25 Not bad. and I splurged at Catos for another pair of capri pants they were like $17. and then the uniform guy came to work (I have to wear uniforms for work) I went way over my budget. but I do have some uniform pants that are to short for me(given to me for free) that I'm going to either cut off to make shorts or capri pants for work. Well happy thrify shopping and garagesales are starting in my area this weekend. I will report back on my goodies.

total around $10
Then I ventured to Biglots: box of Tom Petty cherios .99,pk of chips ahoy sandwich cookies $1,
But my best deal was at joanne fabrics I got 2 yards of flannel material and a pack of blanket binding for $6
and they werent' on sale. I gave the guy who cut my material a coupon and he said that it wasn't valid until next weekend(oops) he took it off anyways and gave me my coupon back to use again. Then When I went to the checkout I gave the girl my flyer for 50 % off an item and she asked if the other guy used it I said "NO" becaause he didn't she said she isn't suppose to give another discount but did anyways and marked my coupon as used.

I finally hit my Salvation Army store Thursday!!! I found three dust ruffles for twin beds, two matched and were still in their packages, unopened from when they were originally purchased, a celery green for $5.00 and one used, pastel colors in a random patch design for my 10 yr old's room for $1.50. I ran out of time as it was pouring rain and they needed to be picked up at school. I couldn't let them walk in it!

I need to go back now and look for some summer clothes for all 3 girls and myself. I'll let you know if I find anything good!

Found shorts & tshirts for my nephew 1/2 price .49 cents each, Oshkosh brand & old navy.

I recently was at the Salvation Army thrift store, it must have been a put out day, as it was packed with goodies.

Found the cutest purple plastic /sparkled cosmetic container, although the latch was broken, I will glue a button on it and use a rubber band to close it. Just what I needed for my purple bedroom to use as a jewelry container. Only $.70 .

I am always searching for used doilies, but none to be found that day.

Wishing every Mom a Happy Mothers day on sunday

Joy - good find. That's a good idea about the latch - would of never thought of that. Thanks for sharing.

I went to the Army Wed with my mom. Got a throw for $3.00.
I ended up spending $80 on clothes. Well my mom and I combined our order - she gets a senior discount. So it was like $40 each - I got a nice pant suit for $5 - and a bunch of short sleeved shirts - just in time for my trip to NYC and California in July. Found a glass vase that I needed for 99¢ but it was half price.

Went to Volunteers of America and got a pair of 9 west shoes for $1.50 - hardly worn.
