Annual Gift to Myself

Every year after Christmas, I buy myself a snowman on sale for my collection. They are usually plush toys and only a few dollars at most. But this year, I went to a local thrift shop since there aren't many department stores where we live now. I found the cutest little set of salt and pepper shakers, and they were marked $3.00. But because it was after the holiday, they were 50% off. So the set was only $1.50! Aren't they fun?

Western Steal

I think I have mentioned using Facebook Marketplace before. I have used it to sell all our furniture and have found some great bargains on it too. It just depends on what you're looking for at any given time.
This week, I happened upon some amazing clothes for my husband, who is in a band which often plays country music. He sometimes looks for "costume" wear. A local gentleman (also a musician) was selling some clothes he had been given. The western style shirts sell new for $80-100 each, and he was selling them for only $10 each! And they had hardly been worn. The suede leather jacket sells new for $250-350, and he was selling it for only $20!

He got all these items (plus 3 other shirts!) for only $60!!! What a steal!
