Thrift Store Finds | October 9, 2012

A few weeks ago Mom, the girls, AJ and I all went to the big city to do some shopping. We made a lot of stops at different stores along the way, and one of those stores just happened to be a thrift store where I made an AMAZING and MUCH NEEDED find! I have been LOOKING everywhere for regular white dinner plates but they have been eluding me. I've looked at every yard sale and thrift store I've stepped into, but never found any until that day when I found 6 all at once! Although they are all from the same set I grabbed them up anyway...I couldn't risk not finding white plates anywhere else since I've been searching for three months and these were the first dinner plate size ones I had seen. I also found two other useful things which I am glad to have in my collection! I spent less than $10 on this trip for the plates, the dish, and .50 cents for the tongs.


I now have six of these dinner plates! They were $1 each!

This baking dish was $3 and looks like it was barely used!
 
Tongs for cooking (I love them especially for things like boiling corn on the cob, etc.). They were .50 cents!
 
I had a blast at the store! If I was not so rushed I'm sure I would've enjoyed searching through the massive clothing section, but I made myself stick to the housewares since I really didn't need clothes (and still don't need them lol).

      Yes I am...but it is going to be January/February before that happens...I thought it might happen sooner, but some other things happened.

    I love to find treasures at the thrift stores. Hey, Do you know how to number the comments on your blog?? Being that you are finding out all the fun things to do, just wondered if you had worked on that yet.

      Me too! Hmm...no I haven't even thought about that! I had noticed that feature on wordpress blogs though. I'm not sure if that is something that is available on the Blogger platform. I'll put it on the list of things to figure out in my spare time! lol. :)
