Thrift Store Galore
We luv shopping at thrift stores in the winter's months. It's an excuse to get out and we socialize with the workers, as they know my children by name. Yesterday was my only chance to get out in between blizzards, and we went straight for the thrift store. Since Noah is out of school I recruited his help w/ Titus. I told Noah to take Titus up the three steps in the middle of the store that he always begs to go up. Then I heard, " I want Momma" ! 3x ! Never happened before, but Momma he got.
Noah got a great wooden rubber band shooting gun ( didn't know what it was til Hubby told us) for $3.95. He had been begging for a BB gun so this was a great deal.
Titus bought a tractor trailer truck that hooks up by his pudgy little 2 yr old hands.
I also bought Noah a brand new with tags "Nationals" baseball shirt, $ 2.50. We googled the name on back and he was traded to Mariners, but 1st graders aren't sticklers for details, sheew ! He also got two like new pairs of Gap jeans, $2.95 each. They're still all nice and starchy.
I bought a large canvas with blue backround and a steaming cuppa Java in cream, brown and orange, but it doesn't fit the spot I had in mind. Hopefully one of my friends will come over fall in love with it and take it home. And, that's the beauty of thrift store shopping....if it doesn't work for me I can pass it along.
We've been eating a lot out of winter boredom, and have gone over budget wanting fun foods, while being stuck inside. I'll need to make up for this in the future, like possibly forgoing a new laptop....haha I kid !
Well I've had time to sort through stored clothing for my guys, and have found I may need size 3 summer clothing 4 Titus, but he's not grown in height but one inche, so may still wear last years shorts, just real short. These are the wintertime spend thrift tips I have to encourage others to make use of being stuck indoors. And, I've been dreaming of yard sales !
