A couple of weeks ago we went to Bayfield Wisconsin for an inline marathon, and shopped our way there and back. Here are a few of our finds!
At a Salvation Army store in Grand Rapids we made a haul. I got two cookbooks, Le Creuset's French Country Kitchen for $1.99 and Southern Living Homestyle Cookbook for $2.99.
We got Nora a cute dress for $2.49 and a Little Tykes toy box for $2.49. The toy box was a little dirty, and the lid doesn't close all the way, but it washed up fine and we don't mind the lid being open.
Peyton got a pair of flip flops. I don't remember the price on them, but I think it was around $3.00.
Lauren got a really cute dress for $2.99
Corey found a battery operated boot dryer for $1.99. It had batteries in it so we were sure it worked.
After the race we stopped at a little roadside thrift store and I found a stoneware crock for $7.50. It has a couple of chips, but I fell in love. It was marked down from $25.00.
It was a fun trip for the most part, besides the kids getting sick. There was one store we wanted to hit in Bayfield, but it was closed by the time we got there. We got some great stuff there last year.
We look at thrift store shopping and yard sales like treasure hunts. A big part of the fun is getting a bargain as well as finding unique things. I get that it's not for everyone, and that's fine by me! Less people to shop around! Good luck out there! There are usually a few sales in our area the weekend of the 4th of July.
