    Default Victoria Secret

    I was at the thrift the other day and was just getting ready to leave. But the lady was hanging some items up. Pajamas,bras, ect. I kid you not I have 35 victoria secret bra and panty sets. 5 had tags on them still. I bought them all. They were $1.25 a set. Now my daughter was grossed out with the underwear so i put them in a bag. Wash all the bras. They are in like new condition. Each daughter picked 5 bras out the rest is going on ebay in a lot,The sets that had tags still on i will list in another lot. The tags still said $29.50 on each.

    Default i love finding deals like that..

    i found a set of plates by tupperware blue square ones and paid 1.50 for all six of them... i brought them home and listed them on ebay and someone gave me 38.50 for them....

    i also occasionally will get book sets at the local thrift shop and will bring them home and they sell for like &40 on ebay... i love it...

    WTG Nana!! I don't know how you do it, but it seems like you're always in "the right place, at the right time"! You always find the greatest buys! So I wanna know......can I come shopping with you?

    Let us know how the bras do on Ebay. Hope you get a "nice penny" or two for them!!

    so funny, I am desperately in need of new bras but who wants to spend the money on them...I was thinking...hmm, how gross would it be to be used bras? But I'm definitely going to look when I hit Savers over the weekend 'cause you just never know what you will find.

    It would depend "how used" the stuff was. I've donated bras that I only wore once or twice because they were uncomfortable. Something like that is virtually new.

    As for the "grossness" factor, if you get your gitch someplace where people can try it on in the change room, you are basically getting used undies. If I needed the stuff, I'd get it used and just launder it thorougly. And I'd never tell my teenage daughter!
