One of my favorite thrift stores in my city is called "Family Thrift Outlet".   It is actually a clearance store for items that did not sell in the other Family Thrift Stores.  The adventure begins on Thursdays.  All items (only clothes, shoes, and handbags) start out at $1.75, and each day, the price is lowered a quarter.  Wednesday is the final day where the items are finally a quarter each.  I went once on a Wednesday and will never go again.  Moving your cart through the aisle is impossible.  Way too crowded!  Most other days are better as far as crowds are concerned.

My son is 12 years old and will be 13 this February.  He just went through a growth spurt.  His clothes were quite embarrassing! (to me and his Daddy, at least)  Pants are up to the ankle bone and his shirts are mid-drifts.  He doesnt seem to mind at all?  Well Darn!  I need to go see what is at Family Thrift Outlet!  Since it is mainly play clothes, used clothing works great, and like I said earlier, he could care less!  I found him sweat pants, long sleeve tees, and a couple of Ralph Lauren Polo shirts.  I went on .75 cent day. 

I found a few items for resale, so it will be fun to see what I can turn ,75 cents into.  One item are a pair of Bastad clogs from Sweden.  Never had seen this brand before.  I also found a Vintage Polly Flinders Hand Smocked Girls Dress, and my first Blue Fish item.  Lord willing, I will get these items listed really soon, so we can see what can happen to .75 cents!
