Adventures in Thrift Store shopping
February was a short month with many deadlines for work and
special projects. Last weekend, I was looking forward to a getaway to RR. I had
planned to eat tons of junk, drink and a watch a marathon of Criminal Minds.
But Mother Nature has other plans. Freezing rain plans.
Thanks to a heads up from the best friend, my plans changed and I stayed home. What
does a girl do when she has a Saturday off, no plans and some cash. She goes
thrift shopping. I mean I was already showered, dress and out of the house. Why
go back to my pajamas and the couch?
I head to Goldsboro (or GVegas as I call it). Home to
40,000 people and an Airforce base. There are plenty of thrift and consignment
stores to keep a thriftonista happy.
First stop was Bojangles for a Cheddar Bo and orange juice.
Got fuel up.
My budget was $30. It was accumulated from running errands
for my buddy Nelson. I headed to the Goodwill where I brought several books and
these items:
Willis Smith Sweater for $4
Dressbarn Sweater Dress for $5
French Connection Sweater for $4
I took a break to get lunch at Arby’s, coffee at
Books-A-Million and office supplies from Staples.
Then I headed to the new Salvation Army store.

a Mossino Jacket
for $3.
My final stop at a consignment shop almost didn’t happen. I
missed my turn and saw the place by chance. Lucky me.
It was there I found a Liz Claiborne Coat for $14. It had a
purple tag. Purple tags were 75 percent off. It was $3.50.
I also brought a pair of
Ann Taylor Loft jeans for $6. They were 25 percent off and were $5.

I got some nice additions to my closet for $27.50. Not a
bad day!
DAILY DOSE
