Goodwill tripping...

My goodwill trips are starting to get all backed up! So I am going to post a lot in one post! Don't think I got these all in one trip! I mean I am thrifty...but most of the time Im a little thrifty at a time! Remember I only get 20 dollars a week to shop on! That includes if I want a drink at school, or if I want to catch lunch with a friend!

Oh and before we get started a lot of you have been asking about school! School is going great! I am super busy, and things a really hectic most of the time. I started student teaching last week. So far I love the teacher I work with and I love the class. They are too cute! It just reminded me why I wanted to be a teacher. Sometimes I forget, but stepping in that classroom was a good reminder of what I am working so hard to get to!

So on to the Goodwill finds!
I found this green glass vase/bowl. It was too cute and it matched those mini glasses I got a while back if you remember!
I was a 1.99 and that was the color of the week, so I got it for .99 cents!
Snow man! Isn't he cute!? I love getting christmas decoration for cheap at goodwill!
It was .99 cents but it was black too! So it was only .49 cents!
I got this one on a different trip! I love it! It is so 70s vintage and cute!
It's going to hold paper clips or something like that!
It was .99 cent. I didn't get it half off :) But I love it!I got Austin Power and Stranger than Fiction on DVDThey were 2.99 each. They were half off so I got them both for 2.99! 1.50 each is a good deal I think! I can't wait to watch them. I haven't seen the Austin powers one is a loooong time.
Ok...Why did I get this apple? I have no idea. It was lime green and perfect and new!
I actually found a place to sit it and I looove it there, but I had no idea what I was going to do with it when I got it!it was .99 cent and it was half off so it was .49 cents!

Alright that is it!

Happy Shopping!

  5. I just said to my Daughter last night, wonder where my friend "Queen of Clearance" is? So... I am glad you are OK. Isn't if funny how blogging brings us all sooo close to each other? I am thankful that I started blogging and that blogging led me to be your friend! Teachers are Angels without wings and I can really see you at the front of a classroom:) I have a feeling I know what Eve is talking about:) Come on.... Love to all and have a blessed day.

  14. First, I am so happy that school is going so well for you. It must be nice to get a feel of what it will really be like when you're done. I also have to give you credit for making that $20/week last. That is really good budgeting on your part :)

    I love your Goodwill finds, especially the new green glass to match the kind that you already have and the cup with the green flowers. That sounds like it will make a nice desk accessory.
