Thrift Store Numbers

1-Number of stores visited
45 minutes-Time spent searching
8-Number of skirts bought for mommy (technically 9--one is reversible)
4-Number of shirts bought for mommy
2-Number of Sesame Street Puzzles bought for kiddos
$19.17- Grand Total (Woohoo!!!)


I was so excited over my finds! I am in yet another stage where nothing I have fits me right; and I would rather wear a comfortable skirt than shorts, because shorts rarely fit me correctly. Some visits to the thrift store result in zero finds, but I hit the jack pot. It was my first trip to a local thrift store boutique that supports a women's shelter, and I look forward to my next visit. Everything I found was clean, in good shape, and nice (Banana Republic, Izod, Gap, Liz Claiborne, etc.).

Congrats on the great finds! I know how it feels to get such a great deal and to have some fresh stuff to put into your clothing rotation. I shop at Target all the time and there are many days when I look down and realize that everything I have on comes from there. Anyhow, I also wanted to say thanks for the encouragement! I am so thankful for my in front of my face friends and my blog friends who are cheering me on!

Oh, how I miss thrifting in the States! There are some secondhand stores here with stuff from Europe, but the prices are far from "thrifty." I'm glad you had a fruitful venture!
