A Trip To The Thrift Store

Today Mom, Meredith, and I decided to hit a tiny thrift store in Farmville, VA after working in the Pregnancy Center this morning. When we pulled in the parking lot, we noticed an absolutely wonderful sign that stated a brown bag sale for clothing. Any clothing item that could fit in a grocery-sized paper bag was ours for only $5! We immediately hopped out of the van and started rummaging through the racks! Even if we saw name brand items that weren't our sizes, we threw them in the bag to sell on eBay.

The cashier said that in order to cram as many clothes in as we could, we needed to roll each item into a little ball. I think they were pretty eager to get rid of some things! After a while, she even said we could put shoes in our bag too. Our poor little brown bag was piled high and bulging at the seams! Meredith and I counted 45 thrift items when we got home. Several of the shoes and other clothing items we kept for ourselves, but the rest is going on eBay. We figured that we spend about 11 cents on every piece. What a blessing! I love thrifting! :) ~Alli
