Thursday's Thrifty: I got nothing!

I really don't have anything to post about, y'all.  We are so busy at work this week and I am temporarily back on my spending freeze, so no thrifting this week.  

I will be in NOLA this weekend so I'm hoping to stop in at my favorite thrift store there.

(That place is totally worth lifting the freeze over.) Seriously!

  I'll let ya know how it goes.  :o)

I am linking up with Modest Fashion Sense's Thrifty Thursday with my $5.50 outfit I posted yesterday.

Go by and check her out and all the other thrifty ladies that are linking up too.  

Happy Thursday!

Thursday's Thrifty: I love a good deal..but this is just ridiculous!

Last Thursday, I decided to break my "spending freeze" and took a trip to Goodwill after work.  I gave myself a budget of $30 and left out of there with 4 shirts, 1 skirt, 1 dress for me and 1 dress for Toots with a grand total of $30.37.   Not too shabby!  So, my plan was to share with you guys a few of my finds from that day for today's post, well that is getting trumped by the deals of the century that I got Friday evening.

I went to Burke's Outlet to see if I could find a pair of sandals or wedges to replace my worn out ones.
Of course, the clothing clearance section caught my eye on the way to the shoe department.  I looked around for a few and was excited to find a nice black blazer that was marked down 70%, so it was only $3.  Score!  Well, then I headed on over to the shoes where a pair of yellow sandals caught my eye on the clearance wall.  Original price was $14.99, but was stamped with a green stamp..which the sign showed as being representative of 95% off.  Say what?!?!  At the register she rang up my 2 finds, gave me an additional 15% off for being a member of their savings club.   
Grand total....(wait for it)....$3.42 including tax.   

The yellow makes me happy!  :o)

As if that wasn't enough..I walked next door to It's Fashion and scored some cute jewelry for 99 cents each.

THEN I stopped at Family Dollar to grab a couple things for the house, I got these cute shoes for $1.

Total for all my awesome finds...$10.86!!

I'm still in shock!  You can't even do that thrifting!  Craziness!! 

Happy Thursday, y'all!!

Thursday's Thrifty: Thrifted "scores" revisited!

So, this has been the craziest week at work and I've put myself on a little spending freeze for the past couple of weeks, so I haven't thrifted anything in a while.  I've done really good so far.  Besides the obvious paying bills, buying gas and groceries, all I've really spend money on is nail polish.  Seriously!  I'm kind of addicted to color-blocking nails right now.  It's ridiculous!  lol

Anyways, I thought I would share or re-visit a few of my favorite thrifted items in my closet. 

This maxi skirt is one of my favorites.  It's so versatile and most importantly..comfortable!
(I'm actually wearing it right now.  lol)

Gap denim skirt...can be dressed down or up. 

Black wedges.  Probably my favorite shoes in my closet...not the most comfortable..but still my favorites.  ;o)

Belts!!  They were 25cents a piece..that in itself is AMAZING!

I know this isn't the most exciting post.  I promise to have something better to share next week.  I might have to halt the spending freeze just for a day so I can score something awesome!  :o)

Happy Thursday!  Can you believe it's Thursday, already?!  Gotta love the week after a 3-day weekend. :o)
