All Thrifting Leads to Goodwill

April1

Welcome fellow thrifters!  I’m so excited to show you my second-hand deals.  I didn’t purchase everything this past week, because that would be not so frugal, but I did purchase these items recently.  Thanks to Holly for hosting this fun Thursday party.

Enjoy my thrifty finds:

I'm pretty sure this is my favorite Goodwill purchase ever. I got this white-noise maker for $1.99 and it keeps my child sleeping. I love it!

 

When I saw this old-school desk, it reminded me of every elementary school class I had. The industrial green paint is the best part of the desk. I paid $9 for it at GW.

 

I, uh, I mean Santa, got this for Miss Petrie at GW. It was $7.99. The shower, oven, computer and outdoor lights make noise and light up. This Barbie house folds up for easy storage.

 

I've seen makeup tables at the Disney Store for up to $70. This almost-new table was $4.99 at GW.

 

These three books totaled $5.23 at GW. Lipstick Jihad had a receipt from Borders inside of it; someone had indeed paid $20 for it and it was on SALE!

When I picked up the books this week I noticed Goodwill didn’t have very much overstock from Target.  I guess it comes in cycles, because there was a lot of overstock after Christmas.  

Check out all the other great deals at Holly’s blog.  Happy hunting!

   Thanks for joining!

   Great finds! I am glad that I am not the only one who gives second hand gifts for Christmas! My DS got one of those Bounce ‘n Spin Zebra’s this Christmas and my sis gave me a used bread maker. I had given her one I found at the flea market a year or 2 before. I am glad she shares my passion for frugality! =)

   GW is a great place for teachers to find nominally priced books for their classroom libraries.

   Hmmm…I wonder if GW has a gently used tricycle that the, uh, Easter Bunny might bring to Miss Petrie.

   I’m so there with giving second-hand gifts. I would want them, why wouldn’t anyone else? Love the desk!

   I love Goodwill! I’m lucky to have two great Goodwill Stores to visit. Thankfully both of my daughters also love to go thrifting and watch for me! Life is good!
