Your Thrift Store Finds!

[hannaliten]

wystearya - those are some really nice clothes! I needed some shorts the other day, so I went to Kohl's since they had a sale. Well, all they had was booty shorts (which are not appropriate for someone my age) so I went to Goodwill. For about the price of 2 new shorts I got 4 pair of denim shorts, a skirt, and a top.

I haven't found much in a thrift store recently, except for the more common McD's ponies from older years, and the vintage cider box my boyfriend had found, in which he gave it to me .  In earlier times though I've found a load of random items...Like little toy animals, dinosaurs, dragons, wolf things (once in a while), horses and more horses; including breyers, Grand Champions.  There's more stuff but too much to place up at once, lol

I personally think booty shorts are just plain inappropriate.     Maybe I am a prude, but I never liked 'butt length' shorts or skirts.  I would tease my best friend in high school about her butt length skirts! 

Anyway, thank you!   I hadn't gone clothes shopping in ages, so it was really nice to find a lot of good items and be able to afford them!

Shirt, pants and some kick-tush black boots.  All for about $10.  Who needs dress shoes?  Boots or ballet slippers!

The last two weekends I've found a load of 80s and 90s toys and books.

Last weekend I found a bunch of 80s bell charms and also a charm album, pink pearly baby sea pony, some petite pony tail ponies, some vintage LPS stuff, and mlp snail rockers.

This weekend I found Baby Snippy in great condition, a Carebears, a Mr. Men and a Poochie book, and a bag of G3 ponies. 

All of it will be going up for sale and trade soon!

The Goodwills by never have ponies =/. I do need to recheck the thrift shops by me since I was only looking for ponies before and probably missed out on some awesome stuff.

I did find a stuffed Agnes with fluffy unicorn from Despicable Me at Goodwill the other day, absolutely brand new. She was $2 and retails for like $25 at Universal!

[himmie]

Well, no pony luck today but luckily they aren't the only thing I collect...

Today I found a Wrinkles book at one thrift ship and a Wrinkles puppet at another! A grand total of $3.25. This was the first time I found anything Wrinkles "in the wild" in many, many years.

One of my more recent scores was a couple expansions for the old Dune strategy game from Avalon Hill (The Duel, and Spice Harvest.)  I paid $8 each for them.   They both went up for sale last night.  This morning, one of them sold...

I was at Goodwill the other day and found a shirt from Gap that looked unworn for 99cents.... I'm also infamous, among my friends, for being able to find $2 jeans (that also look unworn).

My BEST finds at Goodwill, though, are a Strawberry Shortcake Jar (with lid) for $1 and a 2-pack of G3 ponies containing Pinkie Pie and Sweetie Belle that was only $2 or $3.

I finally got some thrifting in! So far it's been a busy summer. Hopefully I'll have some luck this Saturday too with the city wide rummage sale.

Had an okay yard saling day today.  I keep passing up cameras...someone had a canon..10.00....do you ever buy electronics like cameras at yard sales? Someone had a digital video camera for $5.00! Dang, now I am kicking myself for that not buying.

Disney Monopoly set (2.00!)
Some cool jewelry like a black and white pearl necklace for 1.00
2 skorts
A complete set of Peter Rabbit books for $5.00 in a little box - list price says $60.00!
Kitchen knife
3 containers from the Container Store
Seth Godin marketing book

A little tired of people pricing their stuff so high. $15.00 for a microwave? Come on.
