Thrift Store Finds

I actually did it!! I stayed out of the grocery stores this week! I decided that after my shopping last week I had plenty on my shelves to feed the family so I took a break from the deals at the grocery stores.

I was trying not to spend any money this week! But when my oldest son and only daughter are seen wearing the same things every day or they are asking if I can get some laundry done so they have some clothes to wear it is my signal to head to the thrift stores and see what I can find that looks good and is their size!

This past Sunday while passing my favorite local thrift store, I saw the sign said "All Children's Clothes Buy 1 Get 1 Free". So I got the opportunity on Tuesday after voting to go and see what was on their racks. I found ....

• 1 pair of girlie pink sweat pants


• 1 pair of knit pants


• 4 long sleeve girlie t-shirts


• 1 solid pink turtleneck


• 1 layered t-shirt hoodie


• 1 long sleeve nightie



• 1 Health-tex cordoroy jumper


• 2 denim jumpers


• 1 long sleeve dress
  

Now for my oldest son I found...

• 3 pairs of lounge pants for pjs


• 1 thermal shirt for pjs


• 1 navy blue turtleneck


• 1 Land's End long sleeve polo shirt(looks brand new!)


• 1 long sleeve dress shirt



• 1 black sweatshirt


• 4 long sleeve t-shirts


• 1 pair of gray sweatpants

I don't remember all the brands of the clothes but they were all name brands like Sonoma, Hanes, Falls Creek, Land's End, Gap, etc.

All total with tax, I spent $37.99!!! I had a punch card that was full so I cashed that in for a 20% discount, which was $7.25! Which made my out of pocket total of $30.74!!! There was 26 items total which makes them around $1.18 each!!

Now I just need to find my oldest son a pair of decent snow pants/bibs for the winter months and he will be fully set for winter hopefully(this is my child who is growing like a weed!--the one who needs student size 27x30 pants who was just in a 14 slim pants 4 months ago!).
