Thrift shoppers?

[eratmama]

What are your favorite things to hunt for? Do you have certain things always on your radar?

A new Goodwill opened and it got me thinking...

Books, solid wood furniture that I can refinish, and decorative things for the house.

I buy a lot of the kids stuff at resale kids shops, but don't have a lot of luck at general resale places like Goodwill. Although, I always walk through and have gotten an rei brand bike for Carrot for $10. A leap frog table and push walker for pumpkin for a few bucks

I always look for Pyrex w lids because I freeze a lot of food. Cool fabrics I intend to craft with.

Today I am also looking for more silverware for lunches (everyone takes a lunch everyday & takes cheap stuff, because it gets misplaced too easily). Decent school pants for Carrot-I love that she plays hard, but she gets holes in her pants all the time.

Oh and I really want some kind of low bench for the playroom. Pumpkin pushes his leap frog table over to the window to look out. So not safe

Off to Pinterest to get inspiration!

I wear your grandpa's clothes... I look incredible... ;-)

LOL Meegs, that song is awesome.

For me, I always look at the shoes first. Usually I don't find anything, but every once in a while I find something like a pair of Nike Frees for $10 or cute boots. I always look at the t-shirts to see if I can find anything fun, and sweaters. I stopped looking for clothes for the kids - everything decent goes to the plentiful consignment shops around here.

I look for good wooden toys, and books for everyone.

I haven't been true thrift shopping in ages but I will garage sale and go to consignment sales. Most of that is for kid stuff. I generally look at clothes, toys, and books. I'll also look for 1950s pink pyrex.
