My second hand shopping deal this week.

**imagine** · 09-25-2009, 03:19 PM

It was an awesome day shopping at Salvation Army and an equally awesome day shopping at the Kids consignment sale.

Found three long sleeve shirts $3.99 not a great price but that is the going price now. I needed - Really Needed Right Now- long sleeve shirts. My favorite was a Eddie Bauer prima cotton turtleneck, so soft. I had been looking at similar ones (LL beans and Lands end) and was thinking I might just have to buy one at full price. So that find made my day.

Then I found a Lands' End child twin flannel sheet set. The same set my son has now (he has had that set for 11 years). I was just thinking a week earlier how his current set was getting very thin and worn out and how sad my son was going to be when it was thrown out. I breathed a quick silent prayer that I would find something that would work for him with out breaking the bank. Apparently God answers some silly prayers too because volia, a week later when I head to Salvation Army, there it was the same set he had worn out but this one was in excellent condition for $4. Awesome.

Hubby had also been saying we needed some no slip stuff to put under the living room carpet. One that were big enough seemed outrageously expensive. So I kept putting it off. Found one yesterday at the Salvation Army for $3 Yes!

Then I hit the Children's twice a year congsignment sale. Daughter needed a Christmas Dress (wanted a super fancy one) a pair of flannel PJ ( her old ones are to small) This sale tend to be expensive but has great stuff. I found"
1) a very fancy velvet and satin dress with shimmery sequins Christmas dress for $8.50. Just what daughter had asked for.
2)Very, very soft girl print flannel PJ for $5
3)and two super cool shirts for $3 each. The super cool shirts were Mini Boden brand, a brand from England I believe (I love there stuff very well made, let kid look like kids brand, and so soft but ultra expensive) So the two I bought for total of $6 was less than 1/10 of what I would have paid if I had bought them new.

All in all very happy with second hand shopping the week!

Some Needs supplied and a few wants too.
