Deals are bustin' out all over

A friend of mine sent me a text message this week that said my store is closing and everything is 75% off, so I high-tailed my tail over there this afternoon.

My boss let us go home an hour early, so I dropped into the store before they closed. If it was my size or close to my size and came even slightly close to tickling my fancy, I tried it on. This store is a charity shop, not a consignment store, so their prices are great. Coats and fancy dresses are usually $20, sweaters and slacks are generally $8-12, T-shirts are $5-6. I got $88 in clothes for $22 including a pair of beautiful slacks from Limited for $3.50 and a pair of slacks from Ann Taylor Loft for the same. I got a nice jacket for springtime - a light wool herringbone jacket for $5.00 and Tommy Hilfiger jeans for $2.oo.

I love this store. I hate that they're closing.

Then when I got home I went for a walk. Earlier today I went to church for a Good Friday service. The past two weeks have been really busy at work and I've enjoyed every minute of it. I'll be visiting blogs this weekend.

More than the fair trade you get is the memories worth keeping.

Finding a bargain makes for a happy day. Nice that the money goes to charity,,,,

Wish I had a shop even half this good...just caught up on your blog and have enjoyed it.

We are in Tennessee, heading home tomorrow....I could whine until then but won't because it would be the same old stuff just a different day...

One of these days will do a blogpost and tell it all, but will wait and see what happens...
