I'll start out by saying I had a GREAT day yesterday! I went shopping (real stores, RETAIL shopping!?, about an hour from home) and STILL found some great deals - it's all about the savings! I used the 15% off entire purchase coupon at Joann's, which luckily included sale & clearance items this time - and almost everything I bought WAS on sale or clearance :) We did manage to stop at a thrift store - I found a light-up night sky constellation "thingee" for my 5 year old nephew...He loves it! While we were out & about, we also noticed that a NEW thrift store is opening this weekend! We'll have to make sure to check it out next time we're over there.
My thrifty tip for today is that you should learn the schedule & discount programs of your local thrift stores...
