Thrift Store Clean Up!!

Here's an example from Rachel about a thrift store find:




Today, the children spotted this. It was in a grab bag that we had to pay three dollars for. It was drawn all over and looked pretty junky. But I had done my homework. I knew what I was looking at. These bad boys go for $30 new on Amazon. The pages are erasable. They are laminated. So I bought the bag, scrubbed the notebook down and wrote Julius's name in the book in a nice dry erase marker.


One thing I've learned is that when you go to consignment sales, thrift stores, garage sales, etc. it helps to know what you're looking for and how much an item is really worth. Who would have ever thought that this notebook retails for so much? Pays to do your homework and keep a running list of things you're looking for.
