HOLIDAY WARMTH COMES WITH A PURPOSE

SWEATER $2.88
SHIRT $1.99
PANTS $5.95
BOOTS $5.00

TOTAL OUTFIT COST
$15.82

Our Christmas gifts this year will ALL be from repurposed sources with only two exceptions. A TV and TIVO. Big splurges, which we are adding to our household after a long debate. Cable is now a thing of our past. SAVING that 200 dollars a month is paramount. With the solstice here and cold winter temperatures lasting past their prime… I have been on the lookout for thrifting warmth. Sweaters are hard to come by when you’re a buxom gal, like me. Thrifts are notoriously LOW on inventory in this department, in our neck of the woods. So I diligently scour the surrounding areas, looking for something to cuddle up in.  Sometimes I get lucky. Just look at the price for the whole kit and caboodle. The sweater alone is worth three or four times that total.  I felt comfy and ready for snow with these thrifty threads. What have you found thrifting?

  1. Nice outfit and you can't beat the cost! WTG to get rid of cable too! That is definitely a savings!

    Merry Christmas!

  2. I think you look really fetching! The boots certainly caught my eye.
    Well done, m'friend.

    'Hope to 'fire' our cable company ourselves after the first of the year! Frankly, it's scary!

  3. The price of sweater is outrageous nowadays - - and all of my old sweaters no longer fit me. The outfit that you got is one heckuva bargain!

    I gave up TV cable because I could no longer afford it. My laptop provides sufficient entertainment and news. BUT, here in Tennessee I'm paying nearly $85 a month for broadband - and in TX I only paid $55 for the exact same thing.
