Goodwill Hunting 1.26.13

uuggghhhh...I have an addiction. An addiction to Goodwill. Why does it have to be right next to the grocery store?? And why does there have to be TWO within a 10 minute driving distance? aaaahhhh...

At least I can say I spent more on the kids today...

All paper back books are $1.50...hard covers are $2.50

My kids are just as big pirate freaks as i am...

Pirate piggy bank... $1.99

Another cool picture frame for $1.99 (which I decorated in my next blog)

aaaaand of course, some new books for my library

Goodwill Hunting 1.25.13

Today was a mental f**k sort of day, so logically, I needed some retail therapy. What is my favorite place for retail therapy? That's right...Goodwill!

I think my favorite find for the day was this awesome picture frame. It is perfect for a future craft project. 

Kinda bummed that I only found one book to add to my library today, but at least its interesting...(kinda thought it would be punny to add the 'fish' bottle opener I found to this pic)

and of course...my redneck hooker tank...

The Babe came with me this time and found me a reading light for when we are in bed! LOVE

and this really cool mug, which I am totally jealous of...

You never know what you will find at a Goodwill...people get rid of the most random things (and we of course buy them!)

Gettin Thrifty Wit It...Na na na na na nA NA,... Na na na na na nA!...You know you were singing along... ;)

We still needed a few more gifts to fulfill our gift giving experience this year so we headed back to Goodwill after work. (It is safe to say that 90% of our gifts will be from the Goodwill this year. With so many treasures for such affordable prices, one mans junk is my "omg...SCORE!!") I am thankful that I have people in my life that can appreciate this same awesomeness.
