Free Money

October 31, 2007 By Frugal Babe

Last week a friend at the library gave me $50 worth of gift certificates for our local thrift store.   She and her husband got them because they donated an old car, but she doesn’t shop there and she knows I do.   They had no strings attached – it was like $50 in cash to spend at the store.   I have a friend visiting from out of town who is my original thrift store buddy;   she and I went there yesterday and got all sorts of good stuff.   She got clothes for her kids and herself, and I got some great clothes, including a couple cute maternity shirts.   Our total bill was $62, so we only had to pay $12.   I’m going to bake some cookies for my friend at the library!

    Oh fun! I like how much more you can get at thrift stores, compared to the same amount of money at a regular store. It might have bought you two shirts. Maybe.
