Becoming "Thrifty"

Going Out :)

I am getting ready to prepare to thrift today. I have about 5 stores I am going to hit :)

1 Food Bank Thrift Store
1 Church Thrift Store
2 Hospice (my fav)
1 Az Thrift store-I HATE this one, everything is overpriced. But sometimes he has that rare thing and doesn't realize its worth more than .99.

I shall update when I return.

Not just Thrift stores ;)

Working at Walmart has ONE advantage. I know when there are killer deals before everyone else.

For example

This comforter retails at LEAST $35.

I got it for $7 at Wal-mart.

These memo boards were only 2.50 each.

Nail Polish 1.50 each, BUT i did get more than pictures, because a few days later they went .75% off and I got 3 more for .75 each.

These are a 1.50 each. (50% off halloween)

50% off Halloween, I ended up getting more when they went 75% off.

1.50 and .75 each.

.50 each

.50 each

Once I get batteries I'll post more pics of good deals I have gotten.

Making something "New"

Remember this basket?

After some black spray paint it became this,

Then if became this,

Now it has a home, holding all my painting supplies :)

Total cost, about a 1.50 :)
