Bargains at the thrift store (and other places)

Tweet

I grew up on hand me downs and cheap clothes. I've never really seen a reason in buying the most expensive brands. Today I went to goodwill and found two sweaters. I paid $8.00 for them. I came home to find that one of the sweaters had the original tag it came with, it had probably never been worn. It originally cost $12.00. I paid about $3.50 for it. I then went by walmart to find a pair of leggings to go with one of the sweaters. Actually, I was looking for more than just that but that's what I ended up with. The leggings were $3.50. I came home, got on ebates and went to ebay through there (for cashback) and I found some leggings. I had a $5.00 gift card + received $2.00 off because of a deal on the store front. I can't recall how much I paid but it was a good deal. I feel like I paid around $18.00. I went on another site through ebates and found a nice.. well I forget what they are called, but it's a long sweater type jacket. It was around $10.00. I found something else there as well for $2.00. I'll get cash back on those purchases. I need to get a few more things, but I'll wait another day to buy them. I intend to go to goodwill again (probably a different one) and hopefully find something else I like there.
