$4.50


Yep, that's what I spent on these at the thrift store. All of $4.50 plus tax! I'm completely in love with these glass canisters to use in my craft room. They are missing the lids, which I think would be a hassle for me anyway! I got the tall jar to maybe store pipe cleaners for kid projects. And a Cooking Light cookbook for all of .50.

Some of you guys commented that I must have a great thrift store. Well, you are very wrong. I have been dropping in this place off & on for years and rarely every bought anything. My husband hates going in with me because everything kind of seems dirty and yucky. I finally figured out how to shop it. I go straight to the home section and dig. Most of the treasures are found on the bottom shelves behind all kinds of junk. So, go forth and dig! :)

  7. Score!

    I was so sad when our Salvation Army thrift store closed. I had just discovered them a few months earlier.

    Love the new background and banner by the way. Nicely done!
