gutsy, baselle

Saving log - $0
Spending log - $25 thrift store + $1.64 bagel (got a free coffee from a punch card)

Now for my next daredevil trick...

I have sad news. My closest, therefore favorite, thrift store is leaving my neighborhood in 2-3 months. No more walking past there every day, sometimes going in sometimes not.

I got my Paris dress there, and as I have lost weight and inches I've gone there to pick up smaller sized jeans, sweaters, tops, tank tops. It was there that I discovered that I was a medium in certain things, and that I'm now a sure-fire size 14.

But that's not the daredevil thing. You see now that everything's 30-70% off, I picked up a purse, a pair of jeans, several sleeveless tops for the summer, and ...

A swimsuit.

Yes, I bought a swimsuit at a thrift store. Sounds icky, n'est ce pas, but I checked the crotch and bra cups carefully. No trace; everything looked pristine, even cleaner than it would be if it was a new suit that everyone tried on. I tried it on. It fit perfectly and it was even flattering. $3.

    I'm sorry to hear your neighborhood thrift store is closing. At least you got some great buys. Congratulations on the weight loss. That is great!

    Blessings,

    I love thrifts stores but the one thing I refuse to do is buy shoes or undies. I just can't bring myself to it, sorry they're closing...nothing like good bargains
