    Thumbs up The BEST kind of thrift store deal!!

    Dh & I went to the thrift store yesterday afternoon. I was looking through the jeans for my skinny butt, picky 14yo. I'm checking out the back of each pair of jeans because she doesn't like jeans without butt pockets and doesn't like any kind of design on the pockets. I got to this one pair of jeans & it felt like there was a piece of paper in the back pocket. Stuck my hand in & pulled out....


    A TEN DOLLAR BILL!!

    That paid for the $3 basket I found and the $2 car case dh found znd then some

    Congratulations! That's an awesome find! I once found $2.00 in a purse that I bought at a thrift store. Purse was only $1.00 so I got it for free plus made a $1.00! Whoohooo!

    That's what I call a deal! I'm also wondering if you ever found your DD her pair of jeans.
