    Default Hit the Jackpot @ Secondhand

    Have an upcoming shindig...needed some swanky looking clothing, something better than the usual Levis 501's & a nice shirt (we lived on a sailboat for about 4 years, good clothing is still at a minimum)

    Blue, pink, and yellow tags were 50% off @ thrift shop...

    So...the first sport coat (Haggar brand) I picked up fit perfectly ($12 with blue tag = $6) Quite by accident, I found a Tommy Hilfiger white dress shirt with tags still attached ($6 with pink tag = $3) and a pair of leather wingtip shoes that fit perfect ($4 with blue tag = $2)

    Name brand sport coat, dress shirt, and leather shoes for $11!!!

    and everything fits so perfect, it looks almost tailored.

    Nothing like looking (and feeling) like a million bucks for less than a dozen.

    Great deals !!! Congrats

    I love thrift stores and make them my first stop when I am looking for something that will rarely be used, or rarely be worn. No sense paying a bundle for something that you wont wear very much.
