Score!

Today I went to Once Upon a Child, a second-hand clothes store for kids. Thrift shopping can be very fun and rewarding, but sometimes it's a pain. I only go when I have time, because sometimes it takes a while to sift through the crap to get to the good stuff. Once Upon a Child usually has enough good stuff to make it worth a trip. Today was a good one! I was only shopping for Eden this time, and I came away with lots of goodies.

My punch card was full, so I used it today and got 15% off the already cheap stuff I found. Here's the price breakdown. Sorry the pictures are crappy. They don't do this stuff justice!
Yellow dress from Target- $5.52
Blue smocked Ralph Lauren dress (looks brand new!) $8.50
The blue dress will be perfect for Easter.
Minnie Mouse T-shirt- $2.12
Mint green Gap shirt with satin ribbon detail- $3.82
White Candie's hoodie- $2.12
White dog graphic T-shirt- $2.97
Cream Gap long sleeve shirt with beading detail- $5.52
White shirt with lace trim- $2.12
Gray plaid capris/long shorts- $2.97
Blue Old Navy poplin button-up- $3.82

For a grand total of $42.95!

That's pretty good for 10 items of clothing, with a new Easter dress thrown in. I could have easily spent $42 on just an Easter dress for Eden! Yeah for me!

Whoo-hoo! I love great deals!

Hooray, you're my hero! I haven't done much thrift store shopping, but there are several huge kids consignment sales here each year and I LOVE hitting them! There's nothing like the thrill of a good deal!

I love those plaid shorts! What about good boy stuff? Do they have good boy stuff?

Connie said...

Yeah, they do, Gail! Especially in the younger sizes. It's kind of slim pickin's in Jonah's size but I still find things every once in a while.

Great finds... that Easter dress it to die for!
I love that place.
I'm glad you were shopping for a girl because I wouldn't want you to take all the good boy stuff, that would just make me mad! :)
I've been needing to get down there for so long. I think I'm going Monday. I too have a punch card and I have stuff I need to sell so i'm hoping to get a lot of something for a lot of nothing. Trey is in dire need of some shorts.

I am such a sucker for thrift stores. More like an addict really! In fact, just this morning I found a snow coat/snow pant combo for only $5.00 at DI. It's absolutely adorable and in perfect condintion. It will be perfect for Britnee come next winter. Nevermind the fact that it will sit in the closet for the next 9 months....it was only $5.00.

Oh, and I LOVE the dr5esses you got for Eden! To die for.
