I am fried, it’s practically impossible to focus, and this is what I did today.
I hate laundromats with a passion, but since there aren’t laundry facilities in Dan’s little Michigan house, my options were to get over my hatred or go commando in dirty clothes. I chose the former option.
Despite it being the early on a Thursday afternoon the laundromat was packed. I guess people don’t really have regular 9 to 5 jobs here. I’m not sure what to think about that.
The highlight of the day was definitely the thrift store. I told myself that if I successfully completed my laundry chores I could stop at this cute little thrift shop I noticed. When I walked in the owner was bustling about, adding things to sale racks and bringing out the spring and summer clothes. She was the sweetest woman and more than once stopped what she was doing to help me find something. I ended up getting several pairs of jeans, some summery things for my trip to Florida next week and a couple of basic sweaters for $45. I couldn’t believe it. I can’t get one pair of jeans for that much money, and I walked out of there with 10 things.
Finding deals almost erased the pain of the laundromat, but not quite.
I’m not normally a thrift store shopper since they rarely carry my sizes, but I might start checking them out more often. I know the prices won’t be this cheap when I get home but I might be able to save some money.
What do you think about thrifting? Is there a method to saving maximum money at thrift stores?
