Eid=Thrift Store Shopping!

Today is a Muslim holiday, and since so much of the student body celebrates it, we had a day off. That meant breakfast out with hubby followed by thrift store shopping! We went to a little Mennonite shop the town over which is sooooo clean and organized and has lots of cheap goodies. I got some random stuff, including several VHS tapes for 25 cents, a few Junie B. Jones books (I think I have enough for a lot), a few items for teaching, etc. I spent around $7.50 there. Then we went to Volunteers of America. On the last Tuesday of every month, EVERYTHING there is 50% off! I just learned that. I am so excited about this... another store, Ohio Thrift, does 50% off clothing and shoes every last Wednesday, but it's way over on the other side of the city. VOA is close and nicer! We spent about $34 on the following:

Spiderman shirt for DH: $2

AE plaid shorts for me: $3

NWT Christopher & Banks shirt for me: $2

beautiful Indian style New York & Co top for me: $3

NWT Everlast Coolmax exercise top... I might resell, will check prices, if not, I'll keep: $3

NWT Covington sweater for me: $3.50

simple Banana Republic top for me: $3

Adidas windpants for DH: $1

The North Face shirt to sell: $4.50

Adidas Clima365 top for me: $3

Care Bears bed sheet to sell: $1

Pixos: .45

EDIT: forgot a bag of more things from VOA:

My strange spouse wanted 2 stuffed animals. He's Mexican and found a teddy with a sombrero as well as the TY Beanie Buddy Mexican bear. I think each was .50 or $1. Seriously he has the strangest collection of random toys. Star Wars, wrestling figures, superheroes. It's cute but sort of annoying. I want to get him a shelfing unit so at least everything will be displayed. But it's all up in his man cave a.k.a. the spare bedroom upstairs so out of sight, out of mind. Who am I to judge; I have a curio cabinet full of roosters.

I got a Puffalump to resell for $1.

Also a stack of postcards that say "Greetings from the Seventies" and have a guy in a leisure suit. Still sealed. Can't find any info on them but I have a feeling they'll do well. Cost .45.

I really need to list. My house is overflowing with random crap!! It's much more fun shopping than listing.

Thriftacular!

A thrift store here called Ohio Thrift has a 50% off day the last Wednesday of each month for clothes and shoes and things of that nature. We hadn't been there in months, but DH & I set out to find a kitchen table set and there is a Show & Sell consignment thrift store right next door to Ohio Thrift, so we ventured out. We found a nice table with 4 chairs for a little over $200 :) It's dark wood, simple, and fairly small, and will fit our kitchen nicely. We needed a table because we're hosting Easter.

I found some spectacular bargains at the thrift store. I was in need of a few more spring and summer outfits for work. Here's what I got:
short sleeve red & navy Tommy Hilfiger turtleneck NWT
tan Sonoma sweater/cover up thing
short sleeve Merona hoodie
orange Liz Claiborne hoodie
gray Delia*s top with some designs
navy Lands' End sweater
fuschia top
fuschia & pink flowery skirt
plaid capris
brown New York & Company top
blue jean Merona skirt

& the kicker.... pink & white Nikes for $2.49!!

Total... $21.88

Awful pic...

Moral of the story... NEVER pay retail!!
