My youngest daughter was in need of some sports bras as well as
more workout wear for her upcoming dance team practices. At Wal-Mart I looked at what they had and
found a cute pair of shorts for $6 and a super cute top on clearance for
$7. I gave it to her as a gift for
making the team. I am so very proud of
her!
The sports bras were priced at $12.88 and she needed at least two. I really didn't want to spend $26 on them so
we did what we usually do. We hit the
thrift store and we found several nice ones priced at $2.99. Three of them were the colored tag of the day
so we got them for 50% OFF! Whoo
hoo! She found a top she liked but no shorts. We will keep looking.
My oldest found a really cute workout skort for $4.99 she liked
and a pair of shorts for $1.99 to wear under her summer dresses.
I have been in need of a swimsuit for awhile. My old one is worn out and a bit too big for
me now (Oh darn) but the ones I looked at that I'd be willing to wear were well
over $100. No way! That is not in the budget right now. But I lucked out and found a cute two piece
and an extra top too. The top and
bottoms were priced at $2.99 and the extra top was half priced at $1.50. Now that is a price I can live with. All three pieces are in like new condition
too.

The grand total for everything came in at the same price the two
sports bras would've been had I bought them at Wal-Mart. I'm really glad now that I didn't get those
and decided to check out the thrift store instead.
Excellent shopping! I know everyone will enjoy the purchases and your swim suits look new!
ReplyDeleteThank you Anne. I thought the suits were a great find.
DeleteWHAT! $100 for a swimming suit when there is less than a yard of fabric used to make it is highway robbery. You made a good choice to walk away and search for a better deal.

It had obviously been a while since I've been bathing suit shopping and I nearly died when I saw the prices. And honestly, I thought they were all pretty ugly. I feel much better about the ones I found at the thrift store.
