Too funny.... ;-)<br />Oh, and now I'm motivated to stop in again at the SA or Goodwill next time I pass...Jana Krebshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02526273224664402389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733035893331842827.post-57944533034168508222009-12-04T16:47:54.353-05:002009-12-04T16:47:54.353-05:00I LOVE thrift stores!

I always look for jeans for them and have scored a few great pairs though they are harder to come by because boys are so rough! Last year I found a pristine North Face coat that is 1 size bigger than my oldest son wears now for $6. For myself I have found,among other things, a pair of very high end jeans for $5, a velvet blazer for the holidays for $4, a pair of perfect black pants from Banana Republic for $5 and some really cool belts for $2 each just recently. I have also scored some pretty cool furniture like a beautiful Danish sideboard in pristine condition and a really cool mid-century modern bedroom set. I also find a lot of books there for both myself and my boys. I love finding great quality stuff for so little cash and I love that it is reusing so it is being a good steward of resources as well!simplyGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04289543778050503581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733035893331842827.post-18472768402244664942009-12-03T08:50:49.640-05:002009-12-03T08:50:49.640-05:00I like shopping at thrift stores.

Atleast at goodwill because they are getting pricey!<br />They have a local thrift store named castaways in my town. Its owned by our hospital but only elderly women work there and im pretty sure its on a volunteer basis. They even use a pen and paper to add stuff up.<br />Anyways they have alot of items, many new. I was able to get some xmas presents there. Also when I take my son they have hot wheels for like 5 cents so hes happy with a few :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
