West Virginia Goodwill, Salvation Army, and Walmart Clearance Haul

Another haul from multiple places over the labor day weekend that I am going to combine into one. As we walked into the door of Walmart they had a table of clearance items. Everything was 50 cents. We picked up a ton of things for the wedding and wedding shower such as a guest book pen, gold center piece mats, chalk tags, and balloons.
We only found a few items at the goodwill and salvation army. There wasn't that many good deals but it was a rainy day and we needed something to do. Here is what we ended up getting:

Can anyone believe that Thanksgiving is in less than 2 weeks!!! I sure can't. Time is flying and before I know it, it will be 2018 but lets not rush things because 2017 has been really go to me! I wanted to share a post talking about my all time favorite things to thrift. I enjoy finding anything for a good bargain but there are certain items I always look for in thrift stores that just make me smile ear to ear when I come across them. I am going to tell you 5 things I just jump for in a thrift store or at a garage sales starting with my #5 and counting down. BUT... #1 will remain a secret! There will be a chance to win a small prize for whoever can guess what my favorite thing is to buy from a thrift store (this is US contest only.. sorry). The first person to guess correctly will receive a small gift from Thriving Thrifts. Good Luck! #5: Knitted Sweaters- I have found a new love for the knitted cover up sweaters that you wear over another shirt. They are so comfortable and ...

DIY Holiday Wreath

First I wanted to thank all of my fans for taking the time to read my blogs and participating in my contest last week! The answer to the contest question was books. My favorite thing to thrift is books. Even though, right now, I am not allowed to buy any because I have so many that I need to read first. I have no need to buy a book full price because I usually am able to find it in the thrift store. The only exception to my rule is Nicholas Sparks. He is my favorite author and if he comes out with a new book I go and get it! Well it's that time of year to get into the Christmas spirit. Today was a day full of crafting for Ally and I, however, I can only show one of them because the others are gifts. Remember those holiday decorations I told you to look out for in the thrift store as holiday decor? Well, here is an idea of what to do with them. Now, on this specific craft I cheated a little. I used plastic Christmas ball ornaments that I got for a steal at after the holiday sal...

Thrift Store Stocking Stuffer Ideas

Image
"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!" Only 15 more days until Christmas which means only 15 more days to think of stocking stuffer ideas. Well have no fear, thriving thrifts is here! I have come up with a small list of items that you could come across at the thrift store that can be used for stocking stuffers or small gift exchanges. So without further ado, lets get shopping! #1 Stocking Stuffer Idea: Holiday Mugs- thrift stores have tons and tons of beautiful mugs including holiday themed mugs. Instead of going to a store and spending $5 on a mug, you can get one from the thrift store for 25-50 cents. All they will need is a little wash. #2 Stocking Stuffer Idea: Books-Thrift stores have a never ending stock of books and most are in great condition and only range from 10 cents to $2. I have found brand new Harry Potter books, Nicholas Sparks books, John Grisham books, and many other popular books and authors. Don't forget about children books, cook bo...
