So, went thrift store shopping with Mr. 5 and my visiting mom today (guess where I got that thrift store gene?! lol). Here’s what I picked up at Savers… boy not included, but he had to model his new SHERIFF HAT. They had a big sign up that Mondays are 25% off apparel and housewares, so…
One SHERIFF HAT, $.74. (Was $.99, but I guess it counted as apparel…)
Dalmation backpack — nice condition but needs washing — $2.99.
PJ pants for Mr. 9, $1.12.
Brown pants for Mr. 9, $2.24.
Button-down shirt for Mr. 9, $2.99. (And now he’s set for his upcoming recital — phew…)
Basket, $2.24.
Dictionary, $1.49.
Paid $14.95. Good shopping day at Savers!

I really enjoyed this post, because I had just been thrift shopping at Unique that morning! Unique stores (in Chicago) sell everything at 50% off on Mondays. I usually have great luck for my kids there, although I usually find the amount of adult clothing too overwhelming to go through. I'm proud, so I hope it's okay that I share my haul! Everything I bought was in good shape, some like new; my total was $24.28 + tax.

I agree with Matt, their prices are high, but tradition has it that most patriotic type holidays they have a sale where pretty much everything is 50% off. This has happened on Presidents Day, Veterans Day, etc. That is the only time I shop there.

They have nice stuff and their stores are very clean. I wish the prices were cheaper though.
