Just this week, I visited our local thrift store/Christian ministry.  I was looking for jeans for my children.  I just can’t find it in myself to pay $10-15 (or more) for a pair of pants when I know I can get several almost new pairs for that price.  I did pretty well during my shopping trip.  I was able to get 12 pairs of pants (mostly jeans) for only 12! 

I was pretty pleased with the jeans and so were my kids.  Here are some reasons that I like thrift stores.
6)  I don’t have the guilt.  I can’t force myself to pay …read more

This week, I visited our local thrift store/Christian ministry.  They sell donated items and use the money to help those in the community.  Since it is time to begin swapping out the children’s summer clothing, I decided to shop for pants.  No matter how much buying ahead I do, we never seem to have enough jeans.  I just can’t justify paying $10-15 for a pair of pants. 
You never know what you’ll find at a thrift store.  This week, I was blessed with some bargains.  I found 12 pairs of pants for my kids for only $12!  That’s $1 per pair.

Over the past year, I have had the pleasure of trying out a few Lands’ End clothing products.  Let me say, I am impressed with the quality of their products.  Until a few weeks ago, I’d never owned a Lands’ End bathing suit.  As mentioned in my review, I’m extremely pleased with the fabric, SPF protection, and the information on choosing a suit for your body shape.
I told you earlier this week that I’d have a special surprise for you.  We’re giving away a $100 credit to Lands’ End.  Woohoo!
As usual, I have several ways for you to earn entries.  Of …read more
