This morning I went
to the Spring Thrift Sale at the University United Methodist Church
across the street from Washburn University. I advertised this sale in my
blog a while ago. The sale was yesterday on the 27th and ended
today on the 28th at noon. The sale items were categorized and divided
between different rooms. For example, there was a room for
clothing and shoes, a room for holiday items and an area for books,
movies and music.
I spent the majority of my time sifting through clothing
and shoe racks. Today the rule was filling up a bag and paying
only four dollars for it! I struck gold with several items as evident from the photos. I purchased nine shirts, two pairs of shoes, a makeup bag, a silver
necklace and two belts; and all 15 items only cost me $4.50! All my experience has taught me that church thrift sales and garage sales generally
have lower prices than higher quality stores like
Plato's Closet. Most items at this thrift sale were less than
five dollars which made it hard not to splurge.
I'll have to pay more attention to advertisements for sales like these!
ReplyDeleteDidn't have a chance to make it to this one, but it seemed like the perfect chance to find some really cool items. Maybe next time!
ReplyDeleteChurch sales are the best, and I have found that they typically have better items too!
ReplyDeleteI have always found that to be true. My church back home in Overland Park has an annual garage sale which has sort of become my shopping spree for the year!
DeleteThe problem with these sales are...though everything is so cheap...you spend way too much money on stuff you probably don't even need simply because its cheap!
ReplyDeleteI address this issue in one of my other posts. It's always been really hard for me not to splurge on cheap items. I have to remind myself to only buy what I NEED and not what I WANT.
