my latest bargain

I think most of my readers know that I love to shop at thrift stores, consignment shops, etc. for both myself and Meredith. It's actually a hobby of mine and it's a thrill to find a great bargain. In fact, today I'm wearing a very cute sweater from The Limited that I got at Goodwill for $3. Ironically I have it paired up with a $99 pair of Seven for All Mankind jeans. That totally defeats the purpose having expensive jeans and all, but I justify it because I used the money I made on Ebay when I sold my wedding gown so it's all good, right?



On Tuesday, one of my co-workers (actually, I'll call her my friend) and I went to a thrift store that was new to me called Unique and it's located over by the Burnsville mall. It's very organized compared to Goodwill but I think the prices are slightly higher. Anyway I came across this:
It's the Radio Flyer Classic Red Dual Deck Tricycle. It retails at Toys R Us for around $70. It was in great condition and I bought it for $19.95. I was so proud of myself. It's going to be a while before Meredith is old enough to use it but I'm just giddy with excitement about it!

Ok, I am disappointed that this update was more about you than Meredith, not even a new picture. You must redeem yourself NOW! :)
