Frugal Friday

Kid clothes! 

An adorable Baby Gap Sweater, a pair of leggings, and a dress.  I also got a pair of Kamik snowboots for the little man.  Salvation Army again.

Grand total: just under $10

Frugal Friday

Score of the century!  I got this for $1.00 while I was volunteering at the Recycling Center Book Sale.  I even got 'em to deliver it!  Guess it pays to be a dedicated volunteer. 

 

 

It's an old cabinet from the University's Gym.  It even has a little shelf inside.  It's the perfect craft cabinet.  Once I get it all organized, I'll take another photo. 

Frugal Friday

I'd like to start a new trend 'round these parts.  Frugal Friday. 

You know my motto is "Use it up.  Wear it out.  Make it do, or do without!"  If you added, "Scour thrift store" somewhere in there it would be more accurate.  I'd like to remember my finds and share my tips with you.  So here goes:

Thrift Store Score

This lovely Pottery Barn Kids quilt was $3.99 and the beautiful book (Marushka and the Month Brothers) was $0.49.  Thank you Salvation Army! 

Tip:  I have three thrift stores I visit.  I try to thrift once a week, rotating which I visit.  There is a fourth one that I will occasionally visit, but I may turn it into the store I donate to.  I pick one that I like the cause and donate there.  But I don't donate much as I have a good network for hand-me downs and Freecycle.  As a rule, I don't usually shop where I donate.  Otherwise, I'm looking at our old stuff.  :)
