Best Thrift/Consignment Finds of 2012


2013 is almost here, and I thought it would be a good idea to somehow sum up this year. I did it in yesterday’s post by reviewing my best (In my opinion) refashions. Today I am going to share my favorite/best thrift finds of the past year!

And don’t forget to CLICK on the image to see the full post :)

10. $ 15 Rock Band Drums – Brand New in box from Target Overstock/Salvation Army Warehouse distric, and spotted by my husband! I do feel like I need to inspire more male thrifters in this world, that’s why #10 is going to Sam :)

Thrifting my husband’s Way!


Happy Monday, I am super excited to share this post with you today, it’s another thrift haul, but this time it’s my husband’s! But before I do, drumroll please, my blog now has a Facebook Page -you are all invited to join in the fun by liking it!

Now back to thrifting…

I love when Sam goes thrifting with me! It’s our bonding time! Well yesterday was a really big day for him thrifting wise, because he got the RockBand drum set at the Target overstock (located in the basement of the Salvation Army in Warehouse District aka North Loop)

And it was only $15!!! Yeah Sam was pretty pumped! So pumped, he carried the box all the way home. All the way to the WareHouse District! I know! It was quiet a workout!

The rest of the day was spent playing the drums:

We also went to two Goodwills, and got a Guitar Hero mic for $3.50 and a Dance mat for $2.50. I picked up a few extra Choose to Reuse coupon books at the library last week, that’s why the price on the items below was so low! We had to do two separate transactions though, because it’s one coupon per customer and it only takes 50% off of one item! Yet another plus of thrifting with your hubby!

I am glad I was able to make Sam’s day, and he was able to stop me from buying any more clothes :) It’s a win win for everyone!

Do you ever thrift with your spouse? If so, do you like it?

Have an awesome week!

Xo,

Z

Thrifting for Treasure 2


This is a long overdue post about my last weeks trip to Salvation Army in the Warehouse district of Minneapolis. I love that place, what more can I say. Why? Let me show you below!

Here is my $1 Etra clutch (leather too :) )

 I absolutely love how it opens up in a diamond shape! Diamonds are a girl’s best friend you know, even if they are just shapes!

Up next is another vintage COACH bag (oh yeah! I lucked out again!) That baby only cost me $4.99

This next item will be a subject of an upcoming post (most likely this week), so stay tuned. It’s 100% wool ivory coat, from Nordstrom, with original tags attached, as well as a spare button! This amazing find was only $3.99 – Welcome to Minnesota, what else can I say ?!

And finally my silk vintage skirt (with pockets) which I wore to our rehearsal dinner, and which cost me only $1.99

This skirt will also be featured in one of my upcoming posts! So stay tuned!

What cool thrift finds did you get last week?
