A Saturday of thrifty finds.

My brother recently had surgery (due to a football injury) so my mom and I graciously made some freezer meals for him and met him and his girlfriend for lunch. On the way back home however, we saw excuses to stop and spend money, little money, at garage sales.

Now my grandmother trained me from a young age to shop thrifty. Not saying that I get all my clothes at Savers or anything, but I like stopping places to see what I "need" or just to find other odds and ends to be crafty with.

The main purpose of stopping today was to find some furniture for my new apartment. No such luck. I did however find some other neat things.

This super cute clutch was only 85 cents at a garage sale! I don't think the pictures does it justice, but its black with gold lace. In love!

My  next purchase comes from Goodwill, so I spent around $4 for this dark purple clutch. I liked the pop of color and its attached wrist strap. Its Target brand and snaps as well as zips close for added security.

And then this guy! $10 at a garage sale, barely used! I love that the straps unzip for use as a backpack. My camera bag that I have now is more of a cross body bag and can get very uncomfortable. This one has ample space and pockets for all my camera accessories.

I couldn't forget about Miss Ellie, she got a bunch of stuffed animals to chew on and tear apart for 25 cents

>I also had my eye on some N*SYNC CDs, but one was missing from the case, and the other was scratched to high heaven. BUMMER!!

I'd say it was a pretty productive day. Well, except the part where I spent money instead of studying. I still have another day in the weekend, right?

Until next time, 
XOXO
