I haven't done one of these in a long time, but I hit the jackpot today so I felt like showing off.
I have a very good consignment store close by which sells clothing and household items at reasonable prices. Next door to it is a much smaller room that they call their outlet.
All clothing, shoes, jewelry, and purses are $1 each. Household and decor prices vary.
Sometimes I'll stop in and find nothing, sometimes one or two things. A few times, like today, I've had much better luck. Here's what I got:
For me, a pair of Loft trouser jeans and a pair of Anne Klein stretch wool dress pants.
From the Gap, a casual button-down shirt for Craig, and a black blazer for me.
For Firstborn, an Old Navy fleece pullover and a pair of sweatpants.
A heavy winter coat from The Children's Place for Skippy.
And just because I liked them, two vintage industrial weaving spools ($1.75 ea).
Total: $11 and change.

what good finds, I love it when this happens, that's what keeps us going back to our favorite thrifty stores.
Grace's? I have some stuff that I need to take up there.
Great finds! Sometimes it can be hit or miss. Glad you had so many hits this trip!

YAY!! Glad you had a good day.
Wow! It looks like you hit the jackpot today! I love those spools; where you gonna use them?
Good stuff! I really love the spools :)
I've been having a lot of luck at the thrift lately, too...but the prices weren't as great as yours!
I LOVE those spools!!! Wow!!!! What great finds. :) I found an awesome green plastic (looks like glass!) vintage footed bowl for $0.25 the other day at Salvation Army!
What an awesome trip to the thrift store! I can't believe you got all that for less than $12. I just love those spools--you will show us what you did with them, won't you?
Have a great weekend!
Wow--you did hit the jackpot!
I love that the store has an "outlet"--great idea.
