The Hunt
I am a bargain shopper.  Nothing makes me happier than to get a great deal on an item.  This is why I am addicted to things like eBay and garage/yard sale shopping.  I buy anything and everything on eBay.  I have gotten kids clothes, a GPS unit, fabric and toys on eBay.  I've even sold a few things, but I prefer to get the bargains myself :)  There is something exciting about digging through someone's old trash to find a wonderful treasure!  For example, yesterday I went to a garage sale.  In the back of the garage was an old chest filled with purses.  I had no interest in the purses, but was excited about the chest.  I asked the lady if she was going to sell the chest, she said she would for the right price.  I asked what that price might be... $30.  SOLD!  I snatched it up right then and there.  I knew that a wonderful item like that wouldn't last very long.  I also found clothes for beautiful monkey girl for .50 each.  She has a whole new wardrobe.  I got a few videos and some new games.  It was a great trip!  Now, I just need to get my junk organized and have my own yard sale!  Maybe there is someone out there that would treasure my old trash!  :)  Besides, I have to clear out more room so that I have places for all the new treasures to come.

We drove around town today and I saw two thrift stores! I'm going on Monday!! Yahoo!! :)
Hi Melissa, I love thrift stores too. I've never had success shopping garage sales so I don't usually go. Looking forwards to what you discover on your thrifting day.
Thanks Shirlee! I didn't get to go to the thrift stores today... I got up this morning, looked at how trashed my house was and started cleaning... sigh... it's all good, right? :) Hopefully tomorrow...
