The other day I popped in my local consignment shop...they were having their regular end of season 50% off sale (most consignment shops are to make room for spring & summer). I picked up these great finds!!I almost purchased these same pizza slice plates for $1.99 each at a kitchen outlet and I got five for $1.25!!! And this American Girl DVD (a favorite of my daughters...and they're great, wholesome movies, btw...all about our history!!) $4.95!!!(this wasn't on sale because it had just come in the day before) At Target these are $17.95!
So...if you have a consignment shop nearby, stop in. You never know what you'll find.
Savings: $21.75!! Consignment Shops "work for me"!!
love consignment shops as well and love it because my mother and brother own one. I get great buys all the time bought a walker for the grandbaby to use while here lastnight for $5
ReplyDeleteWow what a deal. Let me ask you Country Mama: How in the world is your house always so neat and organized? You must be SuperWoman! I just cannot keep up with the little monsters. Please let me kow your secrets. HELP!!
ReplyDeleteHi! Thanks for the comment Crazy House...and the "compliment"!! I'm ashamed to say it, but I don't go to bed until after 1am. I do all of my housework and chores, etc, when everyones in bed! It's just much easier for me that way... I do straighten up throughout the day, but I clean the playroom, living, and family rooms thorougly at night when they're asleep. Also, just a quirk of mine, I can't fall asleep (literally) until I know my kitchen is clean! (so I usually clean that right after dinner...the kids play and I straighten and load/unload dishes for about 20mins). I play with my kids, run back and forth at school, volunteer, etc...but I choose to do "work" at night, when I'm alone. My husband was used to a clean house growning up, so that kind of rubbed off on me, I guess! I don't get much sleep though, and if I could change one thing about myself, my habits of staying up so late to get things done would be it. I've turned into a "type A" personality...so don't take on my traits!! I'm not the best example to lead!! But thank you...like many say around the blogosphere, it's not how clean your house is, it's what's inside...the love, caring, togetherness that counts. But for my family, I just find that everything and everyone runs much smoother and is calmer when things are organized. The less chaos for us the better!! (I guess that's another "Works for me Wednesday" post!!!)
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you! I have found my best deals at a local consignment shop. I sell there too, which makes it a win/win.
ReplyDeleteOh, the pizza plates are soooo cute! I just made pizzas on Tasty Tuesday and we are planning to eat homemade pizza more often. Your post made me want to run out the door and shop at Goodwill today!
ReplyDeleteGreat deals. My girls love the Molly movie.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those pizza plates. Too cute. I love consignment stores. Sales make me so happy!
