Price Point That's Affordable


Outfit of the Day

ALFRED DUNNER 
Top $1.99

TERRA & SKY 
Pants $1.99

LILY & DAN 
Shoes $2.99
(look like Crocs)

TOTAL $6.97

All of us... 
can use a little help 
in our wallets these days.
The price of everything has skyrocketed. 
And clothing costs, in particular... 
are through the roof.
This is my LATEST ThriftyFind.
Can you BELIEVE the price?
What a steal.
This outfit cost a teeny, tiny fraction 
of what the retailers are charging...
because it's been repurposed.
Though these items are not new...
they are in excellent condition.
If you haven't tried THRIFT shopping.
NOW is the TIME. 
Bargains are everywhere to be found.

Easter Bargains to be Found

 

Dollar Stores are a great place to pick up affordable Easter items. Particularly candy. Which is a must have. What children don’t know is that basket, though  delivered by the Easter Bunny… can be quite costly.  The contents come from your shelf, so where you shop to buy them, is important. And probably like you, I used to spend  major cash at the holidays for confections at the big box stores.  But not anymore.  They’ve gotten too expensive. From jellybeans,  circus peanuts, cotton candy, chocolate and peanut butter bunnies, crosses and the like… you can walk away with everything you need for pennies at a Dollar store. They sell NAME brands too. This close to Easter they may be low on inventory. But there are still bargains to be found.  So scout them out. I usually get baskets to repurpose for Easter, from the thrift stores. But the Dollar stores have them too. And in this day and age of Covid and the pandemic, perhaps you want to buy new.  It’s your call. But remember you don’t have to spend a fortune. Dollar stores also have an abundance of little tchotchkes… that are usually no more than a dollar or two. And they are sitting on shelves, just begging to come home and light up someone’s day. Enjoy your holiday and remember you can be thrifty everyday. There are plenty of stores that cater to 
a budget friendly crowd.

HALLOWEEN GOODIES ON THE CHEAP

 



Autumn is the perfect season to thrift.
There are alot of goodies to be found
in the stores out there for Halloween.
I look for the vintage items
because they are unique
 conversation starters. 
They have character and a sense of nostalgia
more modern designs don't. 
In particular...
I like old greeting cards and jack-o-lanterns...
reminiscent of my childhood. 
 Before buying something NEW to put
on your shelves this holiday, 
see what you can find
on a treasure hunt at a thrift store. 
I guarantee the bargains there are
Spooktacular... oops... Spectacular.

NEW & CHEAP


Every now and then you come across a bargain too good to be true. And, you just have to pounce on it. This particular deal was not at Goodwill or another thrift, as would be expected, with these prices. Instead it was at a big box store. Unbelievable, right? There were multiple color and size choices available.  So I picked up a handful to compliment my wardrobe.  What have you found on sale out there? Can you beat my $2 find?

CHRISTMAS DECORATING ON A DIME


Thrift stores are great places to shop for Christmas decorations. An abundance of gently used products dot the shelves at holiday time. Perfect for those on a budget. Things generally cost between fifty cents to five dollars. And you won’t see these items coming and going like you would at a big box store. Here are just a few of the unique items I found on a visit to my local neighborhood thrift. 


So if you’re in a decorating mode for this Christmas, don’t forget to check out your local thrift stores too.
