Typically I hit the downtown Value Village on Monday mornings. Today I got there about 5 minutes after they opened and the carts were all gone. So were the color tags. Oh well.
Because between Value Village and home is the Union Gospel Mission Thrift store. This store used to be one of the worst in Spokane. While the “pickins” are still slim, the sales are very good: one color tag is half off, one 99 cents, and one 50 cents. And the prices are better to start with!
Today I bought:
- Wool-blend, black/white tweed, Eddie Bauer skirt, in “the new length”.
- Pink/red ticking stripe, tissue-weight, woven cotton, ruffle-front sleeveless blouse by Caslon
Both were 50 cents. Each.
- Also flannel paisley pajama shorts. For my vacation in Hawaii, with my youngest and her friends. We are celebrating her college graduation, courtesy of my wonderful MiL. The shorts were $1.50.
