New to the board, but I have to say that I was excited to hear about this site. I live to shop and let me tell you I do. I shop every day just to see what's out there. My greatest finds were this week.

Thrift stores, love them, can pick up things from Target at Goodwill that is still in the store right now for a 10th of the cost!

1. Tiffany and Co. necklace. I love my Tiffany jewelry and I am glad I know my brands because I bought a Tiffany necklace for $1.99 at a Salvation army, it had the copyrights and all, just needed a little cleaning.

2. Bvlgari ring, Salvation Army, again just a little cleaning, $14 and it's worth $1,999.00!!!! I know!!!!! Learn your brands, because when your at a thrift store you never know what you'll run into!!!

3. Brand new Diesel jeans ($199.99 retail) bought from a local thrift store on its 50 cent day for 50cents!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Things I have learned,........

Salvation army has a $5 off coupon when you spend $10.00 on the back of our local Kroger receipts (inOhio), so look for coupons on the backside for some extra deals.

Salvation Army has 50% off most stuff on Wednesdays.

Meijer is having a 30% Christmas stuff now, but will be open 6am after christmas with 50% from what the clerk told me.

Kmart is having a Cali Barbie on sale now buy 1 get one free ($6.00)


Bath and Body Works is having their fragrance oils (for the burners) 2 for $5 when they're usually $7.50 a piece starting 9am on December 27th! The Oils make the house smell better than the wallflowers and candles I think.

Garage Sales are a good place to find stuffed animals for your pets for practically nothing, plus you can negotiate.

Bought a $500.00 waterfall for $25 from a Garage Sale and I knew it worked before I bought it, I love it!

If I run into any stores having great buys I will let you know!!!!!

Thanks for the info! Good to know, one of these days I'll get around to checking out Salvation Army. Great finds for you!
