Still in the car, because it's too big for me to carry:

I'm a newbie here and was thrilled to see a place to brag about thrift shop/yard sale finds! My fiance and I love a bargain but our families don't appreciate our finds. Here is some of the things we got yesterday at a thrift shop...all in my size:
3 new White Stag sleeveless button down shirts
1 new St Johns Bay pink T shirt
2 pairs new Venezia shorts
1 pair new Basic Editions shorts
1 pair new LA Blues shorts
3 pair new New York and Co. jeans
1 new Roxanne bathing suit
It was $2.00 a bag day at the shop and these clothes were just being put out when I went in. Needless to say I crammed my bag full, paid my $2.00 and left grinning from ear to ear!

Hi I'm new here! My dh went garage sell hunting today for a book shelf and this is what he wound up getting:

a really cute shelf for books/DVDs/etc. (and it even has doors to keep DS out of it!)
around a dozen baby and kids books for DS
6 Nintentdo 64 games (yes we still have one of those!)
a big box FULL of Avon shower gel and bubble bath
a "Smithsonian" model of the solar system for DS (when he's older)
a few yards of some fabric that I can use for something in our bedroom

He got all of this for $20!

By the way, Sally47, that sounds like a business oppertunity to me! LOL I'd get a bag and fill it with name brand stuff and list them on Ebay!

Wow, you guys did great! I planned on going but didn't. We went in to see Gripey's mom and brother and sister from out of town. I did get a couple of less than 1/3 priced swimsuits at Penney's on the clearance rack though. I was needing a couple for a trip later on in the year.
