    Default Ok so after my mamo i went shopping

    and i shopped, and shopped and shopped.I went to 3 hole in the wall thrifts today. I don't get to go to them that offten. They are ran buy church members so hours are funky. But caught all 3 of the, open. This is dirt cheap stuff. Got 4 bags of vintage xmas stuff for $3.00 at one of them spent $2.00 at another one that i bought 3-8ft garlands with pipberry intwined in them Huge bucket of enormous pine cones for $1.00 . Stopped at goodwill. But a few primitive christmas items. Then had to go all the way on the other side of town and spent another $20 on christmas decor. Then did some xmas shopping.

    I really wish that I had a GW or a SA in my town. I have to make it a special trip to go to the next town to shop at them. But when I do, I love how I make out on all the bargains.

    Sounds like the routes I used to make. Glad you were able to find some things you could use.
