We only made it to one thrift store today, Deseret Industries. I feel pretty good about it though. I got a few things that I've been needing at seriously great deals and surprising quality.
For me, I got an absolutely luxurious bedskirt($3.00) for my bed. I will post tomorrow the finished product of my bed makeover.
I also got two beautiful pillowcases($2.00) that look new. they will be a great accent.
The sunglasses are fabulous! And for $1.50, you can't go wrong, especially with how often my glasses get broken. This will be my third pair this year!
Finally, I got a fun tote bag($1.00) that spouts Recycling propaganda beautifully! It will be my 'church' bag. My purse just can't hold everything, even though my hubby calls it a duffle bag.
For the kids, my boy got 5 much needed summer t-shirts and my daughter got 4 of her own. They were all $1.00 each and my kids are set on t-shirts for the summer, combining these with what they already have. Since young kids tend to destroy their clothes anyway, this is a very cost effective way to clothe your kids and promote recycling at the same time!
Finally, I found a white fitted bed sheet for my daughter's bed. It was still in the package!!! It cost me just $3.00.
Do the math and you will see that it's worth the time and hunting at your local thrift stores to find great bargains and household necessities without breaking the bank!
