Goodwill Hunting

On Friday after work I went for another trip to my local Goodwill. Since every Friday is half price day, I pretty much only shop on Fridays and I go at least 2 Fridays a month. Here is my latest haul:

I really like the basket-weave look of this! I bought some turquoise spray paint to paint it :)

$3.03

Left: a book with little travel stories for every day of the year. Thought it was cute.

Right: Maximum city: Bombay lost and found

$2.02 each

Left: Katharine Hepburn biography

Right: Shanghai Girls

$2.52 each

J Crew 

$5.50

Anne Taylor

$1.49

Gap

$2.75

J Crew

$2.49

(this is way too big for me but I couldn't resist buying to re-sell because its in fabulous condition and hey its J-crew! Unfortunately when I got home I realized it has no size tag so I have no idea what size it is! Ugh)

Also got a pair of jeans and another top not pictured.

More Thrifty Fashion Finds

On Sunday I made another Goodwill trip just cause I felt like it, but this time I went to the other side of town. This is the one I hardly go to so I just wanted to do something different. This time it was 74% off all green tagged items and half off furniture. Here is what I picked up:

F21 top $5

Belt $5

And the deal of the day..

Liz Claiborne top $0.75

Friday Thrifting

Today I had an early shift so I decided to head on over to Goodwill after work. Friday is usually half price day but today it was different where your discount depended on how much you were going to spend. Which was ok with me. I found this cute pair of jeans in a nice dark colour and the label said "J brand".

Hmm, never heard of that but they looked cute so I threw them in my cart. In the change room I realized they fit perfectly!! But I had never heard of this brand. I had to see if I was getting a deal so I googled it on my iPhone and apparently this brand of jeans is usually over $100 a pair!  Mine were $6.99 and 25% off :)

My mom and sister just got back from Walmart and my mom picked up the cutest Hello Kitty soap for me! She knows how much I love Hello Kitty and whenever she's out and sees random stuff that's not too pricey she brings it home lol. I had to take a picture.

Hope everyone is having a fabulous start to the weekend! What are your plans?? For me, I am working tomorrow, and then Sunday I plan to attend a small bridal shower for an old friend from high school whom I just recently started talking to again. Should be interesting!

Low key sunday

This morning I went to Goodwill because it said on their website it was 75% off everything. Unfortunately I mis-read it ( but the sign was misleading!!) and it was only on the "red tag" items. Which is like, hardly anything. But I did manage to find a nice Mango top. This was only a dollar something, because it had the red tag. lol

I also picked up two books. The first one is Bill Clintons biography. I've read Hillary Clinton's and I thoroughly enjoyed it. So when I saw this one, I snatched it right up. The cover price is $50. I got it for $4 :)

Then I also picked up this old children's book from the 70's. Having my own library in my house is a big dream of mine so I want to start collecting books now. Not just books that I want to read but anything that looks interesting or antique. So I found this book called "Children's Guide to Knowledge".

It's basically a huge book of like random facts that children presumably should know, such as what British and French people are like, for example. lol.

It's a little strange but kind of cool at the same time so I thought hey why hot. And it was only $2.

I've spent the rest of the day just kinda cleaning up, putting away laundry, uploading music to my computer (since I got it fixed and lost it all) and reading a bit of material for school. Pretty low key, which is how I always like to spend my sundays off :)

Thrifting

The other day I did some thrifting on my day off. I went to Goodwill - this time to the one on the other side of town. It's a little more sketchy ( confirmed this when a creepy man asked me if I would buy him a tank top and then laughed at me when I said no and said he was kidding ? ), but I hadn't been there in awhile so I thought I would check it out. I was mainly looking for a piece of furniture for my summer project. I didn't find anything sufficient but I found some other great items!

I found this Dooney and Bourke purse in great condition!

There was a little surprise waiting for me inside!

10 Hong Kong Dollars! LOL

Then I went to this used clothing store called Plato's Closet. It's basically my new favourite store because it has all the brands that I like for cheap and it's all in great condition. Many of the items still have tags. I got a pair of jeans, a top, a necklace and a ring.

The necklace was $3 and the ring was $4. :)
