    Default Our local AmVet store ROCKS!

    I went with my son to the AmVet store this past week and we hit the motherlode. I got these brand new looking winter jackets for my sons each were around $12. My son loved his when we got home and son #2 was delighted with his. I got some winter shirts for son #2 and sweatshirts. I was so happy! Total I spent $60, but with the amount of items I got, it normally would have been around $200 in a store.

    Great shopping. You got some great buys.

    We had one but it closed quite a while ago.......was always pretty disorganized, messy, and overpriced.

    VERY nice indeed! You really did hit the mother-lode! And now I'm getting my "itch" to hit the thrifts again! I've been very good for almost 2 months, after going every weekend for awhile there. Yup, I just made my plans for next weekend.

    You did great!

    You really did great and even better your sons like them also!!! Don't forget to keep an eye out for off season clothes. So in the winter look for summer clothes and in the summer look for winter clothes. Usually you pay even lower prices!
