It can be very satisfying to find hidden treasures amongst the thrift stores and Salvation Army, Goodwill, etc. I've snagged some fabulous merino and angora type sweaters for like $5 that way.![]()

The skirt and sweater I wore yesterday both came from Goodwill.
When I bought that sweater it still had the price tag on it.

Those are great dealsI keep intending to go to the thrift stores but am a bit overwhelmed right now. I need to find out when the next sale is at Salvation Army. They have days where everything in the store is half off
Bike stuff too!!

I am at this moment wearing a skirt I bought at a consignment store for $4. I actually can't remember the last time I bought something not on sale or at a consignment store. Wait, I take that back. I bought some bike shorts from TE. They weren't on sale, I don't think. Hmmmm.

Getting in touch with my inner try-athlete.
Boy, you all are so much better at thrift store shopping than I am. Every time I read of all your great finds, I head in to one. All I ever see are racks and racks of acrylic.
I have a theory. We have several more expensive "vintage" stores in town. I bet they get to all the good stuff first. There's probably a system to it, like you have to go in at 6 am on Wednesday.
We have a store here that's run by the hospital Auxiliary. Some pretty high quality stuff can be found there and usually for less than at Goodwill.
Maybe your town has something similar and you just don't know about it.

That could be the case. I need to find out where Indigoiis has such good luck.
