What I Scored!

Before I left this morning, I wrote out the list from the last post to keep me on track with my $20 thrifting spree.

And guess what? It helped! Not only did I score everything I needed (minus the Justin boots...those are going on Josh's Christmas list for me!), but I got some AWESOME deals on things I wouldn't think were possible with limited cash!

Here's what I got from my list:

 (Plus a bulletin board, not pictured due to it's boringness, minus the Trouble game that I got for fun!)

Sony Vintage Alarm Clock ($1.50. Check!); Pencils ( $0.45. Check!); Etsy Shop Item Holder ($3.00. Check!); Christmas Sweater (<$1. Check!)

I also got these goodies that I couldn't believe the prices of:

Huge Vera Bradley Purse, Love of Jesus ($1!!!); Grey Suede Boots, Love of Jesus ($3); A pair of non-sunglasses (for finding golf balls) and a pair of sunglasses, FanTastic Thrift ($0.45); Vintage Dooney & Bourke Purse, Goodwill Outlet ($2!!)

Plus, I got other cool stuff that I'll tell you about later, but I just couldn't wait to share these things! I couldn't believe I got basically everything on my list and two designer purses and leather boots and I could go on and on... for $20 total!

I mean, you could buy some ill-fitting pants at Wal Mart for $20! It just amazes me how great of things I can find for so little. It makes me smile :)

Have a great evening everyone. My outfit will be posted tomorrow!

Always,

Amanda

A Couple More of Saturday's Goodies

OK, OK... I promise this is the last day I am going to show you Saturday's finds :) I almost forgot that I finally found the Forever21-inspired bag from the first thrift-spiration weekend! I spotted it for 99 cents at FanTastic Thrift- that price makes even F21 look pricey!

Woven Bag, FanTastic Thrift ($0.99)

I also found this ring holder at FanTastic Thrift, for 99 cents. I am using it in my little train case to hold my bangles!

And, finally, the Vera Bradley ID case I found in a bin at Goodwill Outlet. I think the cashier charged me 50 cents for it :) (It's hard to tell how much things are there, since they price mostly by the pound!)



And that's pretty much it from this past Saturday! It only took me half the week to show you all everything I found :)

Up tomorrow... The things that got away on Saturday.
And Friday... A Thrift By Color + a DIY :)

Have a good rest of the week!

Always,
Amanda

Ah, Columbus!

Don't you just love fun holidays where you get the day off but don't have any celebratory obligations? Well, I do! Yesterday was definitely one of those great days, too :) I dragged the hubby back to my fave thrift stores (that I usually go to on Saturdays) and found some really great things :)

Here's what I wore:
Moto-like Jacket, Love of Jesus ($3); Cato Top, Goodwill ($2); Old Navy Jeans, Goodwill ($4); Woven Flats, Love of Jesus ($3); Vera Bradley Purse, Goodwill Outlet ($2!)

I was excited to wear some of my recent finds for the first time- especially the super-comfy jacket and my authentic Vera Bradley purse that I got at the Goodwill Outlet for $2! The funniest thing about it was that the lady that rang up my stuff there was all, "Ma'am, now you know this bag is going to be $2...do you still want it?"

Um, yeah. :)

Anyway. I found some cool things yesterday that I'm dying to show off:

Some great pins to add to my growing collection: All from Family Thrift (between $1 and $2-the flower, the butterfly, and the opal and gold pin) or Good Samaritan ($0.50 each- the rooster, the pear, and the double rings.)

And some more:

From top left, clockwise: Silk Scarf, FanTastic Thrift ($1); Gucci Sunglasses Case, Family Thrift ($0.45); Super-Cool Sunglasses Case, FanTastic Thrift ($0.75); Tripod!, FanTastic Thrift ($1.75)

I'd say that I had a pretty successful day :) I did get another pair of sunglasses too, but I'm going to post about that (and my other new obsessions) tomorrow!

Always,
Amanda
