my exciting purchases at the Salvation Army

**buglebe** · 09-09-2010, 11:36 AM

On Wed our Salvation Army puts a lot of things half off. We went yesterday and I found so many things! LOL what fun. They had bath crystals that had come from one of the exclusive stores here with the $6 sticker still on it for $.99. I bought 4 of those. They also had wooden bird houses for children over 8 to make requiring only a hammer. I bought 2 of those for my grandson. I found 3 pairs of blue jeans that looked practically new for my granddaughter. They were half off so were $2. One pair had all the embroidery and glittery stuff on them she loves.
They had metal thermal cups still in their boxes with no advertising insignia on them for $.99. Oh and I got a heart shaped cake pan for $.99. I haven't made a cake in years but I will have to now. We both had fun. My son laughs at my purchases. Do any of you shop the thrift stores?

You did great! I love shopping at thrift stores. We go to one that has a huge selection. My daughter has been able to get new designer clothes with the tags still atttached. I think she has a better selection because she wears a small size. I have a harder time finding clothes for myself. I have found jeans and suits for my DH and son. I get a little rush for getting something for such a good price.

Awesome.....We have a local consignment store that I go into quite often but its small. I don't get into the big name thrift stores often, but I love to go! I think the closest one is about a 1/2 hour drive for me.

I just LOVE to shop at our little local thrift store! You can get a paper grocery bag full of clothes for only $8. Whenever my family says they like what I'm wearing and ask where I got it, I just give them a little smile and they know!

I don't even shop for clothes in a regular store anymore, except for socks and underwear, of course.

I got a really nice lined overcoat for my husband, name brand with tags for $7.99. I was on vacation and happened upon a Salvation Army in some strange town. I got it in early July and my debit transaction still hasn't posted. I have no idea what the town was, just a faceless gas stop on a backwoods two lane road. I guess I got it for free.

Wow you sure got some awesome deals, in our area, those stores have raised their prices so much. They dont have any specials either. You never know when you can find a great deal though! Im glad you had fun, thats the best part!

Thrift stores are my favorites. Last month I got another brand new baking stone for 2$. And almost all of my collctibles are from thrift stores. I have a handmade copper chocolate pot from spain, and tons of hand blwn mexican bubble glass. My sister has a fortune in jewelry.

I do and I enjoy them.
