I had some more donations for a local thrift store, as I'm still losing weight. I picked up 5 designer tops for $19.99! It is so much EASIER to find smaller clothing now, that's a relief. I got a Ralph Lauren flannel blouse, a Columbia Sportswear summer blouse, a denim jacket, a corduroy blouse, and a Coldwater Creek summer blouse, all like new. I really scored! I saved the couple that are a little too small, as they will fit in a month or two. It's fun to shop ahead, knowing I'm still shrinking, and it's a great way to plan ahead...

My daughter and I, while on our "tent glamping" trip this past week, went into Black Canyon City to a thrift and found ALL kinds of things. Some of which we needed for our gear box . . baskets, silverware, can opener, skillet and griddle, tea spoons (actual TEA spoons with small bowls and long handles), a pink "Princess" rug for my dog for camping . . :D) . . etc.
This is a pic of one of the cool baskets we found AND some antique canning jars . . Robin also got one of each of this size and one clear, all with the date 1908 on them.
This is only a wee bit of our treasures! AND . . . total of our cost?? Between the two of us and a BUNCH of treasures . . less than $30, including the antique canning jars.

Nice finds ceejay. Don't you love blue canning jars. I have a few, but always on the lookout for more. You found some good stuff on your camping trip.

I must amit its not the most frugal buy I've ever made, but I just bought this jar of vintage buttons for $26! Theres all sorts of super sweet buttons in there & I remember my mom having a many of these jars. Its an old Folgers instant coffee jars, my mom used to keep her pennies in about five of them.
Iam going to have to be carefull or Iam going to spend all afternoon playing with buttons & I swore to myself that I was going to do a full detail of the bathroom and finish 2 different sewing projects...Which both are on a deadline so I need to leave this buttons alone! BUT I WANT TO SORT THEM!!! :D |

At a local thift store last night I bought 2 pairs of great jeans, some shorts, and a summer blouse. On eBay I got a (new without box) $85.00 pair of Dansko-like clogs for $20.00, some used cookbooks, and a very expensive like-new L.L. Bean parka (in the color I had always wanted) for 25% of the full retail. What a score!!!

I needed some new pants for work so I went to Kohl's and looked, but everything was either too long or the wrong color.I went to the petites section and found a pair on clearance for under $5.00. Bingo!

I just got a picture and dollies for 4.00. Can't wait to hang up the picture. I scored from a friend a bag of yarn. I'm making blanets for the prayer missionary box.
