Wednesday’s What I Found – Ten Terrific Thrifty Finds

I love a good thrift store.  I would choose a thrift store over the mall ANY day of the week.  My Better Half and I make a trip to the ReStore weekly.  We make it our weekly date night and I really couldn’t think of a much better date.  Some nights we walk away with nothing, other nights with big things like our huge window or our buffet that we turned into an island, but most of the time we leave there with just a few little odds and ends.  I love to browse their housewares and hardware departments…you just never know what you’re gonna find.  Here are a few of our more recent bargains.
I got this Tupperware cake taker for $1.  I looked it up online and found that Tupperware is not cheap.  What a steal!

Yes, I know it goes the other direction :))

We got this little candle holder this past weekend.  It too was only $1.  To paint or not to paint…that is the question!

I had been looking for some old straw wreaths this summer at a flea market but with no success.  I found them at my ReStore a few weeks ago for $.50 each.  I’ve already got a few ideas for these beauties.

With four kids, drywall dust, and all the other junk floating around here these vacuum bags for $1 were a great find…yes, they even fit my vacuum cleaner 🙂

I found this large “Dream” sign during the summer for $4 at ReStore as well.  I painted it last weekend with a Terra Cotta Milk Paint.  I really like the results.

This cute little jar and all its contents were only $1.  Now that I’ve conquered my first few sewing projects.  I might be needing this thread.  If not…I love the little jar!

I came across a bag full of these hangers a couple of weeks ago for $2 and thought I may use them in my mud room.  I don’t know though.  Trying to decide if I want the the shabby look or not.

My Princess has been asking for a Christmas tree in her room.  ( I refuse to start decorating for Christmas until after Thanksgiving but she is planning ahead already!)  This was at ReStore this past weekend for $2.  They had a ton of other decorations too.  {LOVE IT}

, Saving 4 Six

At the end of every month my local American Cancer Society Store puts everything 50% off.  I can hardly wait for the end of the month to run in there and see what I can’t live without.  This topiary was one of those things.  The deal was this topiary and a little one for $1…crazy, huh?

, Saving 4 Six

This last find was not really a deal at all.  Remember the wash tub My Better Half picked up beside the road?  This was in with the variety of stuff he brought home.  It was a brand new can opener and wouldn’t you know…my was on it’s very last leg!

, Saving 4 Six
I love the satisfaction of finding a really great deal…Don’t you??
Blessings,

    Great finds. ReStore is a favorite of mine, too. I found a couch and a loveseat there, nearly new for $100!

    I’m now a new follower to your blog.

    I’d love for you to add this idea (and any others you like) to my weekly Thrifty Thursdays blog party. Here’s the link:Thrifty Thursdays

    My family thrives on finds like these! You’ve done so well. My sister, who makes excellent money, still shops thrift stores. We both agree when we find an excellent deal that it makes us feel smart to save so much money!

    Great finds. I can’t believe your candle holder even had the containers hanging on it. I think I need to check out my Restore. I’ve never been.

    Hi Carrie, thanks for sharing all those great bargains you found. I wish I could find bargains like that. We have thrift stores but the prices are never that good. I have recently found your blog and am now following you, and will visit often. Please stop by my blog and perhaps you would like to follow me also. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Chris
