Thrifty Thursday #227

The other day, I swung by Goodwill with a trunk full of stuff to donate.

Naturally while I was there, I had to take a buzz through the store.
I don't go there as often as you'd think I would.

I am so glad I did.

Check out what I found. . .
 

I rarely buy secondhand purses or clothes, but today I made an exception

when I found this brand new Sakroots purse for $7.99.

It came with a key ring and small matching bag.

It literally had no wear. I love the happy print.

Would you believe that I was needing a new purse? I was excited all day about this score.

I was also thrilled when I spotted this metal receipt holder.

It isn't vintage- it's a replica. Nevertheless, I love it.

I'm excited to do something with it, I'm just not sure what. I'm thinking photo display. . .

It was $6.

My third find was this vintage Pyrex mixing bowl for $2.
It's small, but in great shape.
My teenage sons love to use my mixing bowls to eat cereal out of.
 I prefer when they choose a smaller size bowl like this.

I can't believe the three fantastic things I walked out of Goodwill with.
 I will have to stop there more often!
What's your take on Goodwill? Do you go often?

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

Your word I have hidden in my heart,

that I might not sin against You.

Thrifty Thursday #190

Every Tuesday and Thursday I go to an exercise class at the YMCA.
On Tuesdays, I have a standing tradition with my boys.
I bring them home a burger and a drink from Sonic.
Because I'm a frugal gal, I prefer to wait until Happy Hour starts at 2 so I can get the drinks half off.
 My class ends at one, so I have to piddle around for an hour before I can go to Sonic.
I usually use this time to swing into the thrift stores.

Here's what I found there this week. . .

This set of three Good Housekeeping Encyclopedic Cookbooks

in excellent condition.

Check out the inside covers. Love those graphics!

Here's an interior page.

The books were copyrighted in 1965.

The contents are even listed on the binding.

Guess how much I paid for them?

Only $1.50 for the set of three!

I couldn't pass up this Glasbake serving dish.

It was $2.

It's actually a divided dish.
Cool, huh?

Two rockin' kitchen scores if I do say so myself:)

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

The generous soul will be made rich,

 and he who waters will also be watered himself.

Thrifty Thursday #149

Today's Thrifty Thursday has only one find,

but what a doozy that find is!

It's a thrifter's dream. . .

a set of three vintage crocks!

Can you believe it?

I got all three for $19.

Aren't they just beautiful?!?

The craziest part is that I went to this particular thrift store looking for vintage bowls.

I had been there a couple of days before and passed up two retro Pyrex mixing bowls and

was kicking myself for not picking them up.

Who would've thought that when I got there, I'd find something even better?!?

This is definitely one of those rare scores.

Thanks so much for stopping by and God bless.

Let all that you do be done with love.
