Thrifty Thursday

I had a chance to check out some thrift stores in a town that I don't usually visit

thanks to my son needing to take the STAR test.

Since my boys attend online public school, I have to take them to a testing site for the state testing.

Anyway, while I was in the area, I found three thrift stores within driving distance.

The first two were ok, but I didn't find anything I wanted.

The third was called Tri City Churches Resale Shop, and boy, was it nice!
It was so clean, organized, and big.

I spotted this large, heavy, beautiful glass bowl.

It was marked $10, but I didn't want to spend that much.

Imagine my delight when I found out that housewares were half off that day!

Five dollars for this beautiful bowl. Can you believe it?

I also got this green wooden. . . thing.

I'm not sure what it is, but it looks old.

See the hardware cloth in it?
Any ideas about what it is?

I couldn't pass it up. Especially since it was half off.

The tag said it was $5.

I was thinking that I'd pay $2.50 for it which I felt was a fair price.

For some reason, the checker rang it up as fifty-eight cents!!!

Then I got half off of that!!!

I left paying less than $6 for these two items.

It was so worth my stop!!!

Anyway, did any of you come across any good finds this week?

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.
