Thrifting....

Ok.  I finally got to experience the wonder of thrift store shopping, and I actually had a great first time.  I dont like thrift stores.  Not that I think I am too good or whatever to shop there, but usually they are messy, unorganized, and dirty- 3 things that do NOT go well with my OCD personality.  Then there is the kiddos.  I do not have time or patience to search for that special find with a 4 year old and 2 year old under foot.   However, several girls at work had been talking about their weekly "thrifting' finds....and I had to find out what all the fuss was about.

I set out with a limit of $25 and a focus on name brands.  I am not a brand snob, but if I am gonna buy Old Navy or Target, I will do that online as I do now....using coupons &/or getting free shipping.  These clothes are expendable to me and usually end up in a yard sale the next year.   Isnt that the point of thrifting anyway? To find that steal???

So, I went to THRIFT MART in Huntsville.  The kids were in a good mood, we were on that side of town, so I thought, why not.  

Great find #1: Gabiano gown for Avery....retail for these gowns are around $34
Great find #2: Hannah Andersson dress for Aves...retails from $30-54

I got myself a red camel (Belk) lounge dress for work and an Ann Taylor shirt....and then-

The deal of the day...An Isda and Co  linen skirt. 

Im not sure what season this is, but the one's this year are $136 and UP!!!

MY grand total for all of this...are you ready???

$24!!!

yippee yeah me. 

What great finds have you discovered lately?
