UUMC Spring Thrift Sale Results

     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.

Local Thrifting Opportunity

     Whether you're an experienced thrift shopper like me or are just starting out, I have a very exciting local opportunity for all of you to get your feet wet.
