The Great Thrift Challenge: Contestant I

by JJ on November 15, 2010

M&M went to Goodwill in her town in North Carolina to participate in the thrift challenge:

Purchased:

Mickey Mouse “Welcome” House flag: we enjoy hanging a friendly flag outside our house–some just say “Welcome”, others are season themed. I don’t usually buy more than one or two a year, because they aren’t cheap in my opinion. So since we have a little boy in our house (and a grown man, for that matter) that looooove the Mouse that lives at Disney, I was thrilled to find this in great condition.
Retails for $29.95
Purchased for: $2.00

One thing I don’t tend to buy at thrift stores, is shoes. I made an exception this time–the tags were still on them! A fantastic find! Mossimo Yellow Opal Peep Toe:

Retails for $19.99
Purchased for: $2.50

For next spring, to motivate me to get out walking in the sunshine: Danskin Team Essential Boy-Cut Short:

Retails for: $13.00
Purchased for: $1.00

And my favorite find: a kids sweatshirt from my and Red Velvet’s alma matter for O-man in a few years!

Retails for: $35.00
Purchased for: $4.00

Total money spent (plus tax): $11.46
SAVED: $86.48
