Thrift Store Love

Have I told you how much I love thrift stores?  Yes?  Well I'm gonna say it again.  Was in Fort Collins again yesterday and found quite a few goodies again!  And again, it was all 1/2 off there regular low price.  I found like 5 more outfits for a friend of mine's new grandson, a blanket and a book for mommies..all things that look like they have never been used!  I found a perfect birthday present for my friend Sandy (can't tell you what it is because she may see this post), I got a book that I"ll stash away for when someone I know and love is getting married.  It's a book put out by Focus on the Famil called The First Five Years of Marriage.  Large hardback book that will be sure to bless any new, couple.  I found 6 perfectly good dvd's to send to my daughter to play for her little brothers and sisters when they are bugging her (a couple of JayJay movies and some Veggie Tales, these both have great morals to their stories), and of course got my grandson tons more of those hard, cardboard baby books.  The best thing of all was watching it get all rang up and then they hit a magical button and half of the total disappers!  It is beautiful!]
                                        

Thrift Store Savings

In an effort to make our money go farther and still enjoy the thrills of shopping (retail therapy) I enjoy a good trip to the thrift store.  We were in Fort Collins, Colorado and they happen to have an outstanding Good Will thrift store and everything was half off!  That is definite music to my ears!  I have to admit..it will cost at least another $20.00 to ship a lot of this stuff off for my grandson, Jiovanni...but compared to regular price for all these clothes and books, it is still a huge bargain.  I found several denim overalls for him at 75 cents a piece that in the store are at least $20 each and tons of those hard, cardboard books that on a good day run at least $5 each.
