New Year Thrifting musings part 1

Happy 2014! 

This year will be what I consider my third full time year of thrifting.  Full time being thrifting 2 or 3 times a week year round.  Almost all my clothing, books, childrens toys, childrens clothing and home decor are found at our South East Tennessee Goodwills.

Years ago when we lived in NY and my eldest children were toddlers, I would thrift just as often at a Savers and a Salvation Army location.  This was mostly for ebay reselling and to outfit the kids in Gymboree and other great resellable brands.  I rarely bought for myself.  I could have, but was between sizes so often with pregnancy.

It wasn't until my last pregnancy in 2011 that I started turning to thrift with regularity.  I do still pick up items to hold for resell but my focus is more on now what we need and will use 

End of the Year! What I'm looking for! December 2013

Here is my list for December!  Hope everyone has a treasure filled December!

1. Any backyard toys (sand tables, balls, slides)
2. Winter clothing for my older sons
3. Any great condition 80's toys

What I'm Looking For- NOVEMBER 2013

Hope this month is a good one for my fellow thrifters!  Here is what I'm keeping my eyes out for.

1. A suede jacket
2. Any Super Why toys
3. Christmas decor (ornaments, lights, a tabletop tree)
4. Anything from Disney World or themed Disney's Gummi Bears
5. Avon jewelry from the 80's

What I'm Looking For: October 2013

1. Board books for my son
2. Outdoor toys for my son
3. Anything Dr. Who

What I'm Looking For: September 2013

Here is a new month and a new list.  The last few trips to Goodwills in our area haven't been big hauls.  We have been walking out with just 1 or 2 finds.  It all balances out when I see how many items I've found for our children and our home this year.  

The best find we found in August was a Super Nintendo system for $9.99.  My son was thrilled with that of course!
Here is my list for September and Happy Thrifting to you all!

1. Wonderful condition sneakers for my boys
2. Anything I think might do well on ebay, if I get listing on there again.  
3. A suede jacket for myself
4. A jacket/coat for my eldest son (size 12/14)
5. Kids books
6. Pokemon plush toys for the boys
