Love them or Hate them?

thrift stores that is?

I LOVE finding a good deal.

In fact I regularly go out on the night before trash day

to 'scavenger hunt' as I like to think of it 

looking for other people's "trash". 

You know the old saying...

"One person's trash is another person's treasure"

I like to think I am a thrifty shopper.

I rarely pay full price for anything and when shopping

online always find some sort of coupon.

And I LOVE yard sales.

Something about barely used (and sometimes new)

expensive clothes for my kids for less than a $1 is a rush for me.

For every military base we have lived on there has always been

a thrift store run by one of the spouse's clubs.

Of course Hanscom is no exception and has one that is open very

selectively and has random hours.

So getting me in there seems to be few and far between.

A good friend of mine volunteers there and luckily for me snags me 

items on occasion.

The thirft store was open today and I feel like

I got a hug bargain.

For a whopping total of $23 I got the following...

A doll nursery for Rosie

 Semi-Formal gown for the unexpected

 All these clothes.

Included are a pair of Gap jeans, Chidlren's Place pants, shirts from Aeropostle

 And the deal of the day...

This Double jogging stroller by In Step for 

$12.50

Also, not pictured since they are currently in play

2 plastic toy guns for the boys.

What can I say 

"Boys will be boys"

Overall I am excited about my finds today and can not

wait to go on a walk this evening to try out the new 

stroller.
