This weekend I visited Amvets just off the Pacific Coast Hwy and purchased this dress and a bag of elastic for a total of $4.81. The dress was originally $4.95, but was half off! Yeah!
Then I went on to the Salvation Army in Point Loma where they were having a 50% off everything in the store sale. There I picked up a Stephen King book, "Thinner," a pair of brushed khaki denim shorts, and a very pretty black skirt with floral embroidery. The book was 50 cents, the shorts $1.50 and the skirt $4. And here are my purchases.
My last stop was the Thrift Korral in La Mesa where I picked up two more books, "Theophilus North" and "Rebecca." Both of these books were made into the movies "Mr. North" and "Rebecca." If you get a chance, rent them sometime. So here are the books.
Today I visited two thrift stores in Pacific Beach, the United Cerebral Palsy Thrift Store (aka UPC Thrift Store) and the Goodwill. I didn't get anything at the UPC store, but did pick up a sweater ($5.99) & skirt ($4.99) at the Goodwill. A cool thing about the Goodwill is that they don't have to charge sales tax! Since they are considered a HUGE recycler by the State of California, they are exempt from charging sales tax. They also give 10% discounts for students, military, and seniors (over 55).

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my thrift finds this weekend. Now I just need to get my behind up early to check out garage sales as well.
