A Few Thrifty Finds

October 13, 2009 By Michelle Barneck 3 Comments

I have been doing some major thrift store and garage sale shopping over the last couple of weeks. You saw much of it in my fall decor post, but here are the rest.

My little one has been obsessed with bikes for months. His legs are a bit too short for tricycles just yet, but I had been watching for a good deal. These babies are expensive. I found a Radio Flyer tricycle with a push handle for $8. I was thrilled and snatched it up.

I had also recently purchased an above ground pool on clearance at Big Lots for $20 and was wondering how in the world we would get in and out next year without collapsing the side. Tra la, I found this pool ladder for $4. Oh, how I love D.I.

Sometimes you just need a fake plant. All its little arms reached out to me, wanting me to take it home. How could I say no for $1?

I’m not usually in to rummaging through other people’s clothes. It just seems wrong in some inexplicable way. But, when we pulled up to a really nice house with a bin full of practically new name brand clothes in just my little guy’s size how could I not take home a few? $1 each.

We found these cowboy boots at D.I. for $3. They are the real deal, really high quality leather! He would not let them out of his sight. I thought they would make for a good dress up accessory. He can get them on all by himself and he LOVES that!

    Love the boots!!! I also love it when the littles can get their own shoes on… one reason why those black rubber boots are a staple in our house during the fall & winter!
