It's Been A Pretty Slow Two Weeks

I haven't really been thrift or coupon shopping (extreme coupon show = extremely lame shelf clearing), that's why I haven't been posting much. I am just not finding anything good at Goodwill so I stop going in as much. Well, we all have our dry spells I guess or maybe I used up all my thrift karma. Well here are my few sad little items...

This little box was only 75c
I did manage to find my first...
Pyrex Fridgie! The color is a bit lighten, but it was only a dollar & I have already used it :)

I spotted this Old Orchard dish, it was only $4 + it had a holder & lid..... but I think it's ugly so it stayed at GW. I also spotted a Forest Fancies dish, another ugly Pyrex -sigh- why couldn't I have found one of the other million patterns I love?
These brightly colored pillows immediately caught my eye. I guess I could have just gotten rid of the inserts and kept the covers, but they were $5.99 each - at that price I really don't need any more pillows.
I also got some vinyl: The Worst of Jefferson Airplane, The Best of Carly Simon,  Let It Bleed - Rolling Stones, and a near perfect condition Born to Run - Springsteen (personally not my thing, but maybe I could trade it somewhere) 80c each.
 
I had to stop at Joann's and I scored some awesome clearance...
Spray paint for 97c each! I got canary yellow, sunset orange and pure white in gloss. I guarded that case with my life while I waited for a worker to come and open it. I also picked up some acrylic paint in green and pink for 10c.

I went to an of Montreal show Sunday. Everything was amazing, I was serenaded by Kevin Barnes. It was the most fun I've had at a show in a long time. If you get a chance to got to one of their shows - GO! You won't regret it I promise.

  4. Oh wow - Congrads on finding your first Pyrex fridgie. I still haven't been able to find my first one yet. I totally hear you on the extreme couponing show - as a couponer myself I'll be glad when that one goes away.

  7. Annabella, I know that show is so awful. I have no idea why I tivo it, I end up yelling at the TV all night. I guess I am up for train wrecks.

    Joyful & Sir I know right?! I was very excited, unfortunately that was about all I found in 5 separate thrift stops. I'm trying to be more optimistic but it's hard. What a time to start a thrift blog!
