    I love thrift stores which is why I'm trying to stay out of them. Won't ever meet my toss 2012 things if I buy, buy, buy LOL.

    But, the other day I did buy a gravy boat, a kitten on a basket and a basket with fake ivy adorning it. Sounds like you got some really good deals...wish I could find some coleman coolers for 6 bucks each !

    Wow, great job!

    I was feeling pretty good getting 34 children's clothing items for $30 at a 75% off sale at the consignment store.
