I am talking Thrift store gold mines. You frugal gals know what I am talking about. You are browsing your local hotspots or garage sales and you see it from afar. What an awesome deal!. You quickly pluck it up, tuck it away in your cart, proceed to pay pennies for it and secretly you feel a rush because it was a great find. The problem arises now that you want to brag to whoever will listen about the brand new bread maker you just snagged for $2. Others who are not so thrifty may think you have officially fallen off the turnip truck. Don't worry your insanity is safe here..
Every Thursday I am going to host...drumroll please "Thrift Store Thursday" original I know, but it does the job. I am going to post about my latest and greatest gem and would love to see what you guys have come across.
I find there are times when I get in a rut and neglect to scout these spots out on a regular basis. I need some inspiration to reaffirm that second hand is not only great on our pocket book, better for the environment but most of all it is retail therapy for us frugal gals and it doesn't matter who you are we all need that sometimes. So bring it on.

Count me in! I would love any excuse to share my thrift store finds; some of my friends get tired of hearing about my deals:)
And I'm not sure I did my link thing right; also, I'm not sure if I will be able to list tommorrow, but I definitely will next Thursday. Sounds like fun!
Oh...If I can get a pic---you won't believe what DH found just this week at the thrift store!
I replied to you on my site...probably nothing that you don't already know, but thanks for posting!

Oh and I thought I was so good getting that far with linky. Actually if you click on the box the list should come up...just found that out myself. I am going to try to figure out how to have them listed without doing that. Great find.
I am going to have hubby do the linky thing for me- he's the computer brain here.
I have next weeks item all ready to go- this will be fun!
Great idea! :)
Thanks for visiting my blog! I love this idea and will have to keep it in mind when I start my season of garage sale shopping here soon! My all time best deal was last spring I found a brand-new, unopened Settlers of Catan game at a garage sale for only $5. This was a great find and made my friend who had paid $45 for it jealous, she was with me :)
This is fun!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and letting me know about this!
