50% off equals $20.00

Well today was National Thrift Shop Day and that's what me and my boys did it just so happened to be on a 50% off Day too! Who Knew? I did of course :) I'm so proud of my purchases Ive decided to share with you my haul for today! I went in looking for maybe a used booster seat and anything I can use for my baby's upcoming birthday party. I'm glad to say I didn't find a booster seat but I did find lots of other great stuff! I found fabric to use for his party its cow print with western trim perfect for a barnyard bash! Also picked up a horse on a stick! you know the kind you run around with as a kid and it had a little button on its ear and I got home and took out the screwdriver and batteries and whallaaa! It works it gallops and neighs and all! Going to be a perfect prop/Toy! We've also been looking for a little backpack for the baby to wear cause he tries to drag around the diaper bag we have now...he knows all his stuff is in it but its so heavy and way too big and I found an adorable little puppy in overalls backpack! Has a zipper to hold his diapers and wipe and maybe a snack or two! And it doubles as a stuffed animal That's fantastic! Another great item I picked up today is an abacus...don't know if that's spelt right...My oldest already spent the afternoon doing math problems on it mommas worst subject is math and his fav. subject is math oh yes this is going to come in handy :) I also of course let each of the boys get a lil book cause why not they were like .25 and both my boys love to read.  Here's a pic of the kids/party stuff!
Cute stuff right! its all usable and no even though it may be cheap I don't go and load up a bunch of crap Its all great usable stuff I already had been in need of :) this is everything added up to less than 6.00                                                              

Now the rest of the 20.00 was spent on me and no I don't feel bad about that actually I'm sure I should probably spend more money on my clothes but of course I'm smarter than that I'm losing so much weight right now and getting so healthy that would be a waste of money I'm not going to fit it for long! That being said I picked myself up a cami, a tee shirt, and 4 pairs of pants which I'm so proud of. First off the khaki pants I didn't even try on and I NEVER do that but am so proud that since getting healthier I knew this is my size and I can fit these and guess what I do! the other 3 pairs of pants I knew God just placed right there for me. First off Victoria's secret is one of my fav. places to shop but since getting pregnant haven't been back and its been nearly 3 years anyhow I went down the Pant isle sweating cause my toddler was ready for a nap and now stating to whine but I was like hey look these are nice. and then another and another! yep 3 pairs of Pants all from VS all in my next size down! They are now my happy goal pants! and as soon as I get to it Il post a pic of me in my new pants! Thank you to whoever no longer wanted these they even had he dry cleaners info on them so they're very well taken care of! I like that they are my next size down Il be able to fit into them and wear them by fall and be able to make use of them all fall and winter! and just for 2.07 a piece! Thank You Jesus for sending me a reward/incentive at the same time! Hers a pic of all the clothing pieces I grabbed:
Just slung across my couch nothing fancy and I do also recommend the New York and Co. Cami that I got I'm going to look for more of them its got a full bra made into it and is extremely comfy yet awesome coverage and support! and here's a pic of my goal pants to keep me motivated!
They're the Marisa fit so nice wide legs and Ive got a pair in a creme color and a dark black pair and also a great charcoal grey pair! That's it for today hope you enjoyed National Thrift Store Day too Il be back to school shopping on Friday :)
