Thrifting June 2012

 Thought I'd put the date since it seems y'all feel like me and love a good bargain, so I am sure I'll be posting my finds more often.  I am no blog expert but I did notice One Post was out read way way more than any other post I've ever done.  So I decided to give the people what they want......... DEALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 This thrift store expedition did have a purpose, two actually.  First the girls needed black leggings and shirts for their upcoming play and black is not a color I ever buy for them so we had nothin'.  Second Emry wanted a yellow shirt and skirt  as her & some friends were dressing up as characters from 'The Mysterious Benedict Society' on the last day of school.  Some kids take the opportunity of lax teachers to break the dress code, my daughter takes it to dress up as a character from one of her favorite books.  Long live book nerds!!!!

Thrift stores are not always a deal.  I love to hit up the 50% days, everything I bought this day was 1/2 off.

Sparkly, blingy sweater $1
 

Summer shirts $1 each

 2 black leggings & 2 black shirts, total $3

 

 Lila's striped dress $3.50, Emry's grey sweater dress $4

 Tan Gap sweater for Lila $0.75, pink Old Navy jacket for Emry $1.50

 Shirts for Emry $1 each, skirt $5 (jeans her own) Five dollars was more than I wanted to pay but finding a yellow skirt proved more difficult than I thought.  This was found in the 'boutique' section, where they put the nicer items.

Jacket $2, - shirt $1, shorts $2

shirt $1, jeggings $2.50 (someone's gettin' used to striking a pose)

 sweater $1

 church shirt $1, sweater $1  -  The sad crying picture is because on the way home from church Emry was saying that she was the favorite child and for some weird reason Ethan believed her and couldn't get over it.  So glad I found this nice summery shirt for Ethan since he only has 2 other church shirts.

t-shirts $1 each, sweatshirt $3.50

 

 

shoes $2 -  These were the only shoes in Ethan's size and thank goodness they're perfect for the summer.  When we got home I threw away his other 2 pair of shoes that he had worn out!

  kid's game $2 -  The kids & I have already played this game a few times, they totally surprise me with their clever answers.

unpictured, brand new w/tags bathing suit for Lila (cause we go through em' like water here) $1
Disney movies $3 for 3

Grand Total $49.75

 Now if only the thrift store sold organic milk and eggs I'd have it made.
