WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY!
On Wednesday, no matter what, like even if I’m sick (today), or over-sleep (again today), I go to my neighborhood Thrift Shoppe. I’m there when they open the doors, so that I might have the best choice of the goodies. Unfortunately, lately there has been some competition, and there’s a LINE to get in! Still, today was WAAAYYY better than last week.
Today’s finds were priced at:
Rolly rack - .90
Scooby Phonics Book - 1.99
Mulan movie - .99
Shirt (for buttons) - .99
and
various clothes with the colored tag of the week...
- 5.99
- 4.99
- 4.99
- 3.99
- 2.99
- 2.99
- 2.99
- 2.99
- 2.99
- 2.99
- 2.99
- 2.99
- 2.99
- 1.99
- 1.99
- 1.99
- 1.99
- 1.99
Grand total...
$60.59!
But wait... it’s Wednesday, right?
Well, then, there’s some refiguring to do, because at my Thrift, Wednesdays means
that the colored price ticket of the week is buy one at half price, get 2 free.
Yeah, you read that right... buy ONE (at half, even), and get TWO free! So, my list really translates to this:
Rolly rack - .90 = .45 (because furniture under $19.99 is half off, too)
Scooby Phonics Book - 1.99
Mulan movie - .99
Shirt (for buttons) - .99
- 5.99 = 2.99
- 4.99 = 0
- 4.99 = 0
- 3.99 = 1.99
- 2.99 = 0
- 2.99 = 0
- 2.99 = 1.49
- 2.99 = 0
- 2.99 = 0
- 2.99 = 1.49
- 2.99 = 0
- 2.99 = 0
- 2.99 = 1.49
- 1.99 = 0
- 1.99 = 0
- 1.99 = .99
- 1.99 = 0
- 1.99 = 0
Total NOW... (drumroll, seriously...)
$16.08!
AWESOMENESS!!!
And just what did I get for my hard earned cash, you ask? Welllll...
1 pair of Silver jeans in my honey’s really hard-to-find size,
2 shirts for N from Limited, Too
2 shirts from Kohls for N
1 Carters “Birthday Girl” shirt (N’s bday is in 9 days)
2 supercute Oshkosh B’Gosh shirts for li’l T
1 cotton blouse for li’l T
1 matching stretch tee for the blouse
And for myself, 2 pairs of sweatpants to paint in, so I don’t cry when I spill on myself (there is a very good reason my name is NOT Grace!); 3 long-sleeved tees from Target and the Gap, 1 blouse from Jones New York, 1 crisp white tee from Herman Geist, and 1 buttery yellow thermal tee from Kohls that I will probably sleep in most nights ‘til it warms up here in Wisconsin!
So, really, am I the queen of Cheap or what? I’d love to hear what amazing finds you’ve found lately...
Oh, and the rolly rack will soon be made-over to hold some of the girls’ ever expanding junk/toy collection. There were three to choose from, all marked at 90 cents. I, of course, got the best one! :) The “button” shirt I bought simply because a buck for the 8 buttons makes WAY better sense than three bucks for 3 buttons at the store, and one of N’s favorite shirts just lost an identical one. It’s a decent thermal fabric, so maybe I can use that, too.
Tomorrow, I will catch you up on what I sourced at Goodwill on Sunday, and some ideas I have for N’s new room...
Hope y'all had a Wonderful Wednesday, too!
xoxo,
Tami
