Do you ever just flat out score a deal for.....FREE?? I mean totally, absolutely free? I recently was driving my Soccer carpool and decided to drop by a thrift store while the girls were at practice. Uptown Cheapskate has been in our community for a couple of years and I originally thought they were a little pricey for "traded" or "exchanged" goods. On this particular morning I decided to give it a go again to see what I might find.
I tried on a few dresses that I like but once I saw the Dry Clean Only tags I decided to leave them behind. The item has to really be special for me to take on Dry cleaning. I factor this in when I am thrifting because it could possibly add up to paying full retail if it's worn frequently. As I was about to leave the store I noticed a beautiful resin bangle that will be perfect for Maxis in the Spring and Summer months!! I quickly remembered that I had a credit and I produced it from my wallet and what do you think happened? Yep, the total I paid was $0!!
The moral to this story??? It pays to keep checking your favorite thrift and resale shops because you never know what lies in store(really)for you on any given day. I always keep any discounts, credits or coupons(Goodwill) in my wallet for those spontaneous stops. When you donate to Goodwill you get a 10% coupon to use toward purchasing. You can also earn points every time you shop. It pays to be prepared and to shop resale!!
How about you?
