    Talking My thrift shopping was free this week!

    ~I have had a car load of stuff to donate to the hospice thrift store for over a month now but their location is a full gallon of gas away, round trip. I kept waiting for more reasons to travel out that way to make it frugal but hadn't found any.
    So I decided to drop everything off at a nearby perpetual yard sale that benefits a church. I didn't know it was open this time of the year but my mom confirmed that it was.
    After I unloaded my car, I shopped a bit and gathered 3 Veggietales plush toys, a Playskool busy balls toy, a Cinderella toy, an awesome vintage tablecloth that will be my new kitchen curtain and a vintage hard sided suitcase. When I went to pay, she just let me take everything for free. Yay!
    I think I'll be dropping off there from now on. ~

    Congrats Nuisance!! No good deed goes unrewarded!!
    Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.
