Thrift Store Report

Thrift Store Report

I used to be crazy about thrift stores – and I still am. But a few months back, I got busier on our days out. And also, I felt I was spending too much money at thrift stores on items that I didn’t really need. Since then, I have been hitting the thrift stores just a time or two per month.

Wednesday, when thrift shopping, we found:

Jansport small purse-size backpacks for the girls. It was funny because we were looking for purse/backpacks for their California trip. Each backpack is a new-condition. $1.99.
The Paisley Pincushion Scalloped Apron pattern. 25 cents.
Another retro apron pattern. 25 cents.
a purple cotton knit sheet. $1.99
4 yards of a pretty 100% cotton floral. [...]

Desk, $20. I am getting a laptop computer. The current computer will become the kids’ school computer.

I did hold back on the shop browsing because I knew we were going to a lady’s house at 4:30 to look through her fabric stash. She’s been telling me about giving/selling me her fabric for over a year, maybe two. She works at one of the thrift stores and noticed that I always buy fabric. She finally got through it all and we finally got over there yesterday. [...]
