We’ve been thrifting a lot, as usual. It just works out so well to get books and toys used and then pass them on when Jax outgrows them. We’ve also been getting a great deal of wall frames and decor items for Jax’s big boy room makeover. I’ll be featuring a lot of projects from(…)
Sometimes I visit the thrift stores because I haven’t been there in a while, and other times I feel compelled to. The latter is when I tend to find my best deals! Yesterday I was compelled to visit all three of the thrift store in the area. They are all run by the same charity:(…)
I don’t usually go to the regular thrift store. We have better luck finding things at the kids’ thrift store. The regular store has so many breakables, and Jax does not like being contained while we shop anymore. So, I usually only go there when there is a specific house item I need. This morning(…)
We made our weekly trip to the kids’ thrift store today. I was a little nervous because yesterday Jax had 6 tantrums in 20 minutes at the mall (and would have had more if we hadn’t left!) And, I had gone there for him to show him a kids’ concert! Ugh. Thankfully, he was a(…)
We hadn’t gone to the kids’ thrift store in a while. The last time we went was right after the holidays and Jax had a bit of a tantrum when I wouldn’t let him carry a mirror around. I wanted to go once before his birthday, though, so we risked it today. Luckily, Jax was(…)
Sometimes I think I have some sort of thrift store “spidey sense” because I get the sudden urge to go look for something and I find it. Like the kitchen or dollhouse I found for Jax. Today I woke up with the urge to go to the regular thrift store (I usually visit the kid(…)
This week’s thrift store gems were mostly books, but I did get a cute olive green flannel for Jax. For $6.25 we got: the shirt, Waddle! (which is super neat because the pictures move on each page), Goodnight Moon 123 Board Book: A Counting Book (Jax loves the balloon page), Who Am I? In the(…)
Sometimes it seems like I get an idea in my head for Jax and decide to keep an eye out at the thrift store for what I’d need to accomplish it, only to find it on my very next visit! It happened with the play kitchen and now with a dollhouse. A dollhouse for boys,(…)
We found mostly books this week at the thrift store. The toy shelves were cleaned out and there wasn’t much in Jax’s size on the clothes racks. But, the books we got are great! For just under $11, here’s what we got: All the books were 10% of the cover price. So the big $10(…)
My main goal at the thrift store this week was to find a stuffed animal with black fur to cut up and use on Jax’s Halloween costume. Best I found was black crushed velvet, which is just not furry enough. However, I did find a lime green tee shirt perfect for wearing under his costume(…)
We found some good stuff this week at the thrift store for $11.41 total! I always check the shelf with all the soft books and rattles. You can find factory-made fabric books there and cut them up to use the rattles and mirrors. This time I found two not-so-quiet books that have a lot of(…)
We normally visit the kids’ thrift store once a week to look for books and clothes. Buying used not only saves money, but is a great way to live a little greener when it comes to kids’ items they outgrow quickly. The past two times we’ve gone, the store has been temporarily closed. So today(…)
