Thrift Store Shopping

Yesterday I decided to go to ditch the gym and visit a local thrift store. Reason being, the night before, I was up reading blogs about people's finds that they either keep for themselves or sell on eBay...that was my inspiration.

Upon arriving, I looked at the stuff they keep in cases to avoid theft, then off to the furniture, dish ware, shoes, and then clothes. What I found was a pair of shoes for myself and two to sell, two down vests for winter, a cashmere knee length coat for my mom $15, three great Kirkland (Calphalon style) pans w/lids in super condition for "my guy" who was just telling me he needed some, and best of all..............a gold "road runner" pin weighing 8 grams with a ruby for an eye!! This pin cost me a whopping $3.00 and is worth $200-$300. I researched it online and found an identical one! I feel the store was calling my name for this reason alone ;)

Score!

Now I just need to get these shoes listed so I can feel good about spending $80 there to cover everything else I bought, although $15 was for the pans which my guy will reimburse and the rest I am confident will come from the sale of the pair of $20 shoes I purchased.

I think I will be visiting the thrift store a bit more often.

UPDATE: My guy was really happy with the pans :) and I was reimbursed. Not that he wouldn't pay me, because he agreed before I purchased.
