Ok, so I just have to say how much I LOVE thrift stores!! I mean, especailly in an economy like this, you can't do without them.
I went to get dressed today and I realized that when I "cleaned out" my closet after that organizational class a while back, I didn't leave much winter clothing. I guess I must have been hoping to get a new wardrobe this winter?!? I don't know! All I know is that I didn't have much to choose from. So, being the thrifty person I am, I decided to go to a thrift store first, then if I couldn't find anything I would go elsewhere.
Let me just say, yes...it's obnoxious to look through all the 1960-1980's clothing to find a diamond in the rough. And yes...I have to take allergy medicine before I go or the dust KILLS me. BUT, let me also say, I got 9 long-sleeved shirts & 3 sweaters (a lot name brand) for a grand total of...........drum roll..........................................$52!! You heard me right, 52 smackeroos!! Let's do the math together...that comes out to be $4.33 per item!!!! To me that makes the musty smell & interesting scenery of a thrift store (I'm a people watcher) totally worth it!!!
So, I'm sure you'll see me sportin' my new thrift finds soon! I LOVE IT when I get a good deal!!!
Awesome! I love when I can save bucket loads of money!
