Steal of a deal

Last updated : February 28, 2016

After going through the drop off lane at our local Goodwill store I always step inside to see what treasures I can find.  At the bottom of the donation tax receipt is a coupon. It’s a pretty sweet deal.

But the deal of the day was sweet even without using the coupon.

I’m looking for a couple specific books, so I always take a close look. Even though I didn’t find exactly what I was looking for, I couldn’t pass up these treasures. The novel is for the boys, the knitting directory looked like a really awesome resource and the pink Readers Digest condensed book will become a journal after I remove the text block and replace with my own papers. I simply loved the cover design. I always peek under the dust jackets of those condensed books…sometimes the covers are lovely!

And for the price…

even without using my coupon…it was a steal!

Do you visit thrift stores, second hand shops and rummage sales for bargains? What was your best or most recent deal that had you smiling?

    Yep, that’s a whale of a deal alright. I look forward to seeing the book you make from this cover. Glad you didn’t try to alter the RD, because many of them were made on the cheap, cheap, cheap.

    As for me, I haven’t been to a thrift store since Sally and I took all that stuff to Goodwill a couple of months ago. But I feel like I got a real deal at Michael’s when I found Golden Fluid Acrylics at 50% off. Far more expensive than what YOU paid for your books, but I’m still thrilled with my new colors.

    You got some GREAT deals at Good Will! I realize this is an old post but I just started following your blog & saw this.
    I also love yard & garage sales for finding great deals.
