"I Dare You" Contest!

Hello Cheapers! I told you yesterday to look for the "I DARE YOU" contest today! This is part of your learning process of how to thrift shop like a pro. Are you ready??????    Here are the details...I challenge you to find your local thrift stores and put together an outfit of whatever you like. It can be anything that you love or that you put together for someone else. Take a picture of your special find and email it to me so I can post what great things were found and show all the other cheapers what is being found. Then I will take it to a panel of judges (fellow cheapers of course) and choose our favorite. Now that's not so hard! I know you can do it and I can't wait to see what you send in. If you don't want to send anything in then just post a comment and let me know if you have found something great. Let's show everyone what we find and get excited about being a cheaper. The winner will get a $25 gift certificate of your choice to something in your area! Dinner? Visa Card? Starbucks? You name it. Can't beat that!

Here is an example....this outfit cost $12

Today's shopping experience

Today I went shopping at The Coalminers Daughter and got some really great things that I can't wait to list in my store. I also took pictures so you could see what it looks like. They are so nice in there and I always look forward to my shopping days. It is such a quaint little store and not so overwhelming. Here are a few pics of the store.



Take your time and look through each rack




Notice the sale sign, everything in the store was 50% off. I bought alot!



Oh how I love shoes and purses.





 When shopping for a piece of clothing make sure that you take the time to look over the pieces especially the bottom of jeans and the end of sleeves. If you hold it up and only look at the middle and not the rest you might get home and see a big stain so just make sure you look it over carefully. Especially with kids clothes, they ruin the ends of sleeves alot more. There are plenty out there that are in perfect condition just keep an eye out. Stains aren't always bad because some you can get out.

Here are a few cute things that I found today that will be going in my store. All of these pieces were under $2.00 each except for one.
