Deal of the Century

Hello, friends.  I have been thrifting and buying a lot of treasures.  I will take pictures real soon- I promise!  However, I couldn't resist sharing this one non-vintage purchase with you.

I was at a local Goodwill on Monday and had many items in my cart when I spied brand new, still-in-their-boxes, Threshold fireplace screens from Target (original price $29.99/clearance price $20.98).  I was not looking to purchase a screen (although ours was a bit dated) but for $6.99 I decided to buy it.  Not a bad price, right?  Wait- it gets better...

When I look at my receipt after my purchase, I start doing my happy dance!  After 50% off (pink ticket day) + 25% off (I saved a birthday coupon), this screen cost me........$2.62!  Can you believe it?  If only I could find Pyrex on 1/2 price days- ha!




Happy thrifting!

It's Garage Sale Season!

Hello, friends.  Here in the Midwest we are in the midst of terrible storms.  But, there is good news on the horizon- garage sale season is finally here!  I've tweaked my work schedule to allow me to have Fridays off.  Tomorrow, I plan to visit a town-wide sale, a subdivision sale, and 2 church sales.  I hope to bring home many treasures.  Wish me luck!

Are you finding many garage sales in your neck of the woods?  Happy hunting!
