Thriving Thrifts

Two posts in one day to make up for my absence! I went to Goodwill to start to find some "new" work clothes for my new job. I get to the store and the sign says 50% purple tags and then I hear someone say its actually 75% off purple tags. I was beyond excited and I found a lot of purple tags. Well, what I thought was a purple tag. Turns out that the purple tag I was looking at indicated the size of the clothing. I expressed my confusion and the lady even said that many customers get confused. I have wrote to Goodwill of Delaware on Facebook to suggest not labeling the size of the clothes the same color as the weekly deals. Despite all that, I still got all the items because I wanted/needed them. Here is my confusion with the colors. The purple tag is the size and then the green barb is the actual color. Now they may be known to frequent Goodwill shoppers but to me it wasn't. Here are the items I still ended up getting but spent a little more than I was expecting.

Well I am back everyone! I was in the middle of moving to Delaware from Florida and have been a little busy but we are moved and went to yard sales today and hit the jackpot! We found tons of tealights for $1.00 which we need for our wedding. I also found a really cute top for fall that I can wear with leggings and boots for $1.00. Then, I found a back cushion for the car which I wish I would have had for my 18 drive to Delaware. It was also $1.00. The next two items were the best part of the day. Ally has tons of tools but hasn't found a home for them but today she did and for a steal! She found a three layer craftsman tool chest for only $35!!! Then I have been wanting a bench set to lift and I found a pretty much brand new one with weights and some extra treasures for only $25!!! It was a great day!!
