Thrifting Success
Posted by Moms Fun Money on Friday, May 25, 2012 Under: Misc.
As I mentioned earlier today my daughter and I planned a thrift shopping trip about 30 miles south of us in Escondido, CA. We had six stops planned but could not find one of the thrift shops. I had on my list to look for candles, a mirror and vintage Pyrex. I love Pyrex. It is my new love and I am often reading online blogs where others have found Pyrex at thrift stores. I have only been lucky enough to ever find 1 piece in my city so I thought going some place else might be the trick. Well, it was! Here are some pictures of some of the items we bought:
I found 2 Pyrex casseroles, I could not believe it! The teal snowflake dish is from Salvation Army. They were having 50% off everything in the store so it was only $3.25! The yellow Butterfly Pyrex casserole dish is from Goodwill and was $3.99. I also picked up a Ice O Mat from Valley Thrift Store. It was pricey, $7.95, but I love the teal color and it will be a fun addition to my kitchen. Last from this picture is this glass jar. It has French writing on it so I thought it would be fun to place in our guest room filled with candy for when our foreign exchange student arrives in August.
My daughter found a Hollister hoody and a Gap sweater at Valley Thrift.
I was not really looking out for this but I found a Winston Thomas quilt and sham for the guest bed for our foreign exchange student. Earlier in the week I shared with you the dresser that I painted and the colors were gray and yellow. I had been looking online for comforters for this room and knew they were not cheap. This set was $24.95, maybe not that cheap for a thrift store, but it is almost brand new and I know it was a much better price than I could find at any other store. I am thrilled with it!
The last item I bought was this Beatrix Potter wall hanging with knobs to hang things from. I have no idea where I am going to put it. I think it would be best in a child's room, but I am sure I will find a place for it. It was only $2.25 at Salvation with their 50% off sale!
Have you gone thrifting lately? If you have and want to show off some of your goodies, e-mail us the pics and we will share them.
P.S. No candles or mirror - still on the look out for those.
