Thrifty Mommy

A Thrifty Buzz

by Karen on March 21st, 2007

Do you ever get a tingly feeling inside from when you get stupendous thrifty deals?  I went shopping today and got some great deals.  Of course, I had to share the good news with my thrifty moms.

Today I stopped by the consignment store to drop off another tote.  (I am pleased that we are getting rid of all our baby and children’s things.  I’ve been taking in a tote about every week.)  While I was there I saw they were having 75% off their winter clothing.  Wow!  What a deal!

Consignment store prices are usually pretty good.  Sometimes there are items that are way overpriced, but for the most part you can find some good deals.  Imagine getting 75% off those prices.

I stocked up on sweaters, jackets, blue jeans, long-sleeved shirts, and all kinds of winter goodies.  Now I have to put it all downstairs and label it appropriately.  Another great thing is that I had a credit for all the things I’ve sold so far, so I didn’t have to pay for any of my purchases.

So, if you’re wondering what I got . . . I got over 40 items for $50!  :)

    Thanks Angie. There’s nothing like a good bargain. I have to admit that I did feel a little guilty for getting so much stuff, since I got some good deals at Sears over the weekend. The bargains I got were hard to pass up. My daughter just needs some pants for next winter and we’re all set!

    You are one fo the few people that I know of besides me that consistantly get the great deals. Although I have hit a dry spot lately. I can’t wait until next weekend!

    You know I love a good deal. There’s something about hunting and conquering and then feeling like you walked away paying too little for something.
