thrift store thursday

i realized this morning that i am weird.
i am giddy with excitement on thursday mornings when i get to go to the thrift store and shop by myself.
that's weird, right?
but i love it.

we have the best thrift store.
seriously.
they have a cool pricing system where everything gets marked down every few days.
so nothing stays stagnant and you can get amazing deals.
i can hardly go in a good will or salvation army anymore because their prices are so ridiculous.
i like a garage sale type price.
i.e. i want to pay a quarter. :)

on thursday mornings, the items that were half off, go down to 50 cents.
and i'm not the only lunatic, there's always a line of people waiting for the doors to open at 9.
i see many of the same faces every week.

some days i score a ton, others, not so much.
i didn't walk away with a lot this morning but i did get a super cool vintage projector for  . . . wait for it . . . 50 cents.
boom.


a high like that is why i keep coming back.
love it...and here's a strange fact for you, other than thrifting, i don't really enjoy shopping at all.
okay mostly i just don't like clothes shopping. such a pain.

speaking of clothes, i did find this fun jacket last weekend at the thrift store.


{selfies are so awkward} 

i went back and forth because it wasn't on sale yet but i finally decided that it would be fun for our date we had last weekend.
so i went ahead and forked over the six bucks for it.
then to the thrill of my soul, i googled it and found out that it's from anthropologie.
six dollars doesn't seem so bad after all. ;)

also, earlier this week, i picked up these cutie little bowls.


they're from starbucks...didn't know starbucks made bowls.....
but they're a perfect little cereal or ice cream size. 
cute. :)


okay friends...those are my thrifted finds for the week....have y'all found anything good??

  2. Okay, first of all, you might feel awkward, but you're cute as all get out! Love the coat (and you!).
    Second of all, spill the beans on this half price flea market business! Which one?
