TEN THINGS I LOOK FOR WHEN THRIFTING

       TEN THINGS I LOOK FOR WHEN THRIFTING:

When i first started going to the thrift store, i would go down each aisle to see what little gems i could find but what i found was frustration because, i was  missing some good items because i didn't have a system.

  One day i overheard a conversation between two ladies and one said that she sell some of her items on ebay and she was discussing what aisle she would hit to get to the gold.  I took the time to watch this lady as she shopped and when i looked into her cart; she had all kinds of beautiful coats, shoes, and even some jewelry pieces.  I didn't know that some of these items even existed at this particular thrift store.  She didn't waste any time and she walked out that store with mostly designer dud's. So on this occasion, i learned how to truly shop smart at the thrift store.

Now, on to the Ten Things I Look For When Thrifting;

1. Handbags: The first thing i look for is the handbags located in back of the showcase, because handbags in this area,are mostly designer items.
2. Dresses: I hit the dress aisle next because this is where you will find some nice, expensive dresses because people are getting rid of dresses that they wore during a special event such as; a wedding, graduation, or another formal event.
3. Shirts and Blouses: I go right to the aisle with the shirts and blouses because the thrift store usually have an abundance of these items in good shape. I buy lots of these.
4. Skirts:  I usually look for black skirts because you can find any shirt or blouse to match perfectly.
5. Sweaters: Next I go to the sweater aisle to stock up on some nice sweaters.  If I see an abundance of sweaters in the summer; i will grab these so i will not have to get any during the winter.
6. Shoes:  I look for these and when i see a pair that isn't too worn, I hurry up and throw these into my cart.
7. Coats: I sashay to the coat aisle to see what i can find.  You can find some nice spring coats and jackets during the winter season.
8. Blazers:  I look for these because i usually cannot find a whole suit that fits me perfectly at the thrift store. I can wear these with skirts or slacks and make a nice outfit.
9. Electronics:  I look in this area for anything electronic that is in good condition, such as; printers, camera's, computer monitors, lamps and etc.
10. Books;  I look for these on my way out of the store and i usually look for self help books, computer books or money management books.

     

Ban Shower Fresh Invisible Solid Antiperspirant Deodorant

 

 

 

                             BAN SHOWER FRESH INVISIBLE SOLID


I purchased this Deodorant back in 2011 and i had many coupons to use at RiteAid and I bought so many, that it lasted me for 3 years and i still have about 4 left.  This Deodorant keeps me nice and dry throughout the day and the scent smells fresh without being overpowering.

 I will purchase this Antiperspirant again, with or without coupons because it is quite affordable and it is a quality brand.  You can buy this at any dollar store or even at your local supermarket. 

                                           

                                  Super Nail Nail Polish Thinner

This Super Nail  Polish Thinner is one of my favorite things because i have tons of Nail Polish and this helps to keep them at the right consistency.  I purchased this at my local Beauty Supply and it was $2.99.  I found out about this product from a Nail shop in my area.

                                          Silk Beauty Bar


I am a person with very sensitive skin and i cannot use some soaps because i will break out in hives and my Doctor told me to bathe and shower with very mild soap. During my search, i found this soap at my local dollar store and it is really good.  Some of the fragrances are strong but this brand carries a big variety and my favorite, is their formulation called Natural.

  You get three bars in a pack for $1.19.  I can only find this brand at my dollar store in my area.  This soap is long lasting and it will keep you fresh and clean all day.  I suggest if you find it in your area; buy multi packs. 

Thrifting is soooooooooo easy

This is a collection of some of my thrifting video's, so you can see my thrifting skills in action.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thrifting was once looked upon, as an activity geared towards people who were homeless, hard on their luck and also thought of as being tacky.

 

 

 

 

Thrifting is my hobby and i just love to see what i am going to get during my hunt and people actually think that i pay a lot of money for my clothing.  You have to learn what materials and brands to get.

  If you are into designer clothing; the thriftstore is a great place to get them for pennies on the dollar.  You can find a large array of Dooney, Coach, Prada and etc.  I also like to shop on the clearance rack at stores such as; Macys, JCPenney, Sears and clothing from some discount stores.

LUSTI ORGANICS OLIVE OIL HAIRDRESS

 

I just wanted to share one of my favorite hairdress, conditioning products.    Lusti Organics is a cream that is formulated for dry hair.  I have been using this for about 3 or more years and at the time, I picked it up by accident, but i have been buying it ever since. 

 

When i take my wigs off to give my hair a rest; I wash it and put Lusti Organics on and it makes my hair so soft  and manageable. Lusti only cost $1.00 from my local dollar store and they have different formulations.  

 

My Mother use this product also and she loves it.  It is not greasy and it has a pleasant smell and it would be great to use it on your children's hair. You can go to Dollar Tree because they carry it also, but make sure that you don't order it online because, i have seen it on some websites for $5.00 and that is ridiculous because with five dollars you can buy five at the local dollar store.

 

 

 

 

This Laundry Detergent really works well!

 

 

ALMAY BRIGHT EYES

 

 

BEAUTY FOR YOU SHIMMERING SHOWER GEL

 

I purchased this from my local dollar store and it has a nice vanilla smell with hints of Jasmine in it and it works better than some of the name brand products out there, that i have tried.     

                    

I believe in this product so much i think that you can get a few bottles along with some other beauty products and put it in a nice basket and make a nice gift for birthdays, wedding showers and etc.
