Woot! Thrift store find! (aka the brag thread) - Page 3

post #41 of 44
I scored a bag of actual Thomas the Train train tracks with 3 different bridges and one station plus a bag of about 20 Thomas the Train engines at Goodwill for $20 total. Just one engine costs around $20. The whole set had to have cost over $400 new. My son was overjoyed when we gave it to him on his birthday!

The best part was that I had been pricing train tables on Craigslist but didn't quite have enough money. I mentioned my Thomas the Train find to my neighbor. She asked if we had a table yet. When I told her we hadn't gotten around to it she promptly gave us her son's old one.
