I love the thrift store! - Page 4

Last fall, I got a pair of (new looking) Birkenstocks at GW for $5.00!! I rarely look at shoes, but these caught my eye and when I saw they were new and my size I snactched them up!!

I got a Black and Decker steamer/rice cooker for $5.00 not too long ago- it looked brand new! That is the BEST rice maker ever (stovetop rice cooking is a pain for me).

Yesturday I got 4 kissiluvs fitted size O , 2 wraps (one step ahead) size s and 4 Fuzzi Bumz Pockets size L (no inserts ) (but I can make some) for $4.50 ea I have never seen them used so cheap ever! I have been on cloud nine ever since.:

I picked up a romertopf clay pot for $7.50 yesterday! It has a darker patina than my smaller one, but is in perfect condition otherwise!

Yesterday was our weekly trip to SA, I scored a sweet little book "1 is one", we're saving it for our spring book basket (it is very springy 25c), a doodle book for my eldest (25c), a wooden airplane ($1.50) a wooden container truck and wooden fire truck ($2.00). The wood vehicles were by Tuff Toys in Salmon Arm, BC and would have cost $36 altogether brand new!! http://www.tufftoys.bc.ca/ My youngest is loving them and has been playing with them all morning!

I had a few minutes after working out yesterday and DH was getting the kids so I went to goodwill-scored big time! I've been needing more work casual clothes (I'm a nurse but doing computer stuff right now and am running out of stuff to wear!): a pair of cords (gap), a sweater (LL Bean), 2 l/s tops, an eddie bauer skirt and a shirt for DS-all for 20.xx! I couldn't believe it! The clothes are all in great shape-the shirt for DS was NWT

[HydeParkB]

Oh, fun finds, Cera!

Yesterday I got socks for sock puppets, two very nice ematernity shirts, and a pair of maternity pants for work. I spent about $15 - not bad for maternity clothes.

[Pinoikoi]

I found three used fuzzibunz.. they aren't the right size for our current kids (who are potty learning, anyway..) But, we will be ttc soon, so they can find a home with me!

$.75 each

[Aubergine68]

4 very flattish hand-carved wooden salad bowls ( now used for play kitchen plates) for .99

2 stainless steel travel coffee mugs to replace the one dh left behind on his business trip, .99 each

2 stainless steel teapots (the kind you get in restaurants when you order tea) for .99 each. Now used for cows milk/soymilk on the table so the boys can pour their own on oatmeal, cereal or into glasses. (I'm big on everyone serving themselves if possible.)

Spong cast iron meat grinder with suction mount for $6 (been looking for something like this for making sandwich spreads since we gave up processed lunch meats. My blender just wasn't cutting it...)

[cera]

Got some good scores on Friday. I found a vintage doll crib that the side rail actually goes up and down ($7.50) a really great score since I have been lusting for one since I saw one on someone's Flickr, How to talk so kids can learn book, Teach your own The John Holt book of homeschooling, Do you want to be my friend by Eric Carle board book (all 3 books for $1.25) and a lovely handmade ball (.50c)

so very, very true, I got my Ergo at a thrift store, brand new(older style though) for $2.49. It was priced the same as all the other carriers, like the Snugli. I've also gotten some great cloth items at my store, a brand new fleece stacinator cover, $1.49, a cottonbabies insert for 49cents, and a pack of Dappi pullons, $1.49, and a few Gerber flannel prefolds for 49cents(those are great as stuffings/doublers)

[Kerr096]

I found at the good will: 2 hanna anderson play dresses $2.00 each, a white hanna anderson long sleeve onseie $1.00 (still tags on it), Hanna anderson leggins $1.00 and baby legs still in the package for $1.00. The play dresses will fit dd for the summer the onesie and the baby legs I will put away incase we have another baby. I was so excited, I never usually buy anything at thrift stores because I can never find anything.

That is great about the birkies score!
