Treasures at thrift stores

I ADORE thrift store shopping! I wish I had the money to go every single day! I've bought and sold many things that I've gotten at thrift stores, books, other items, etc. I shop for myself too and buy stuff that I don't sell. At one thrift store I bought several heartsong religious paperback books for around $30 dollars and then sold them for over $70 in a book lot on eBay. The profit was pretty good although you can't always take chances like that because sometimes stuff won't sell. We also get toy bags that the thrift store stuffs with stuffed animals, cars, figures, etc. We took out the stuff we wanted to give the kids and then I saw this really funny stuffed item. It was a pickle wearing a cape. It was Super Pickle or something like that. It did have a few flaws but it still sold for $25! Not bad since we paid around 2 bucks for the toy bag and didn't buy the toy bag to resell anything. If the Pickle had been in mint condition, we could have made double. There are some other things too of course... but right now I can't remember. There has been so many... :)

Thrift stores are good and we go, however, we like the Church Rummage sales more and flea markets and library book sales. We appreciate the bag sales for 3 or less dollars and get great deals. I picked up a dvd once that was worth 50 dollars or half.com. That was the treasure for me so far.

I love shopping at thrift stores.I come across good bargains at them especially this one call Tidewater Thrift store where i live.Something u would pay an arm and a leg for i will pay only $2 or$3 for.I bought a coach bag for only $5.

I love shopping thrift stores,outlet stores, and dollar stores. I have found some nice deals that way. I got a silk skirt and blouse, matching set that had to be worth $100 minimum, for a whole $5 at Goodwill. It was a great outfit that I used on formal night on a cruise. I also once got a linen skirt with a built in slip for a whopping $0.40 at Bells Outlet. I was thrilled at that price. A brand new skirt for under a dollar was quite a find for me.

I also love thrift stores. I love wearing vintage clothing. And I almost always shop for furniture at the local thrift stores. My most valuable treasure to date is a large unicorn painting on black velvet. It's poster size, and framed, and I got it for five bucks. That's what we call 'score'.

Oh yeah my whole library is from Goodwill. Since I do a lot of reading this svaes me big bucks. I tend to buy clothes at a new store though
