Just remember..... Christmas is close at hand and these thrift stores hold a lot of potential for Christmas shopping. Who says a gift has to be new?? :) (except for undies like miss puff said)

I am ready for some shopping at some thrift stores NOW!!! but I don't have any money :(

I Scored Today!!! :ya :ya :ya

A 22 quart, one year old pressure canner for $30 :woot

I have had a pressure canner at the top of my want list, and there it was at a garage sale this morning. I spoke with the lady, she said she bought it last year because her Mom always canned stuff. She made one batch or raspberry jam (in a pressure canner???) and didn't tighten the rims and had wattery jam! So she was very happy to get rid of it! I just smiled politely and paid her and scrammed!

Happy dance, happy dance :bun :bun :bun

I love to thrift shop also. One time I found these amazing name brand jeans in my size. I went to try them on and put my hands in the pockets to stretch them and found 2 20 dollar bills folded up !!!

Needless to say I bought those jeans !
