Finding that deal

Friday, July 12, 2013

    It is me again, for the third day in a row; I am thoroughly enjoying keeping up my blog. So my post to day will be fairly small, as I didn't undergo too much yesterday. 
    In fact, I had an average morning, workday and afternoon. My only real highlight occurred right after I picked Graham up from work. Every Thursday he goes out with the missionaries, so my plans included folding laundry and cleaning out my guest bedroom (talk about a bore... but it has to be done). So as I picked him up, with a quick meal from McDonald's in tow, we headed to our sweet little apartment. En route, we neared a thrift shop recommended to me and I was dying to look. So we estimated that we had about a forty minute span during which we could look around. 
    Inside the place, like all shops featuring used clothes, had an assortment of smells- not really bad one, just ones you don't seem to find elsewhere. Anyway, the store was actually pretty spacious inside, brimming with tattered books, ancient rocking chair and thousands of articles of clothing.  Basically- my kind of place!! As usual, I headed straight for the clearance racks which surprisingly do exist in these already greatly discounted stores. It is hard to explain the excitement that comes from finding one treasure in a hoard of items- exhilarating? Seriously, pounding your way through all of the nonsense to find an eclectic piece for a steal of a price is riveting. 
    Want to see my trophies?
     Maybe my greatest find of the day? I just love my jumpsuit! 'Twas only $2.50.
    Simple like pink button up, purchased 2 for Listi and myself, 2.00$ 
    Um, kind of the most adorable 80's hi-low type dress on the planet. Madly in love with it! $2.50
    Is that a duck face? Whoops! Bought this simple ruffled shirt for $1.00 ladies and gents (ha, as if a solitary man alive would read my blog!).
    Even Graham found himself something! No that isn't a basketball shaped piece of blubber, just puffed out for some strange reason... The shirt is cute thought, right? $1.00! 
    In case the other picture wasn't giving it justice I snapped a quick selfie with it! I like the pastels, plus it is appropriate for his work on Casual Friday ;)

    So my grand total was..... $9.63! Who can complain about six articles of clothing for that price? I sure can't (and if you can I'd looove to know why)!  Sorry to expose so many weird selfies during this post-  hope I haven't scared anyone away, if so it was kind of you to stop by. So guys, have a great weekend! I am going home to Douglas- have I ever been so excited to see that place
....Nope!
