Don't Sleep On Thrift Stores!

I do shop with coupons and sales even for clothes but don't go much to thrift stores to get clothing.  I usually just donate old or outgrown clothing.  Well, my couponing gf and I decided to go to this one thrift store that I've donated to, but had really looked for any clothing in since my daughter was very little (at least 5 years).  But times are tight and a deal is a deal.  Lo and behold, what do I see?  A pair of Timberland boots that I've been in love with for since they first came out (maybe 5 years ago).  They were my size!  I just couldn't resist.  They looked brand new like they had never been worn.  I carried them with me around the store trying to decide whether I would get them or not.  One thing for sure...  I couldn't put them down.  If someone else got them, I was going to be HURT!  For 29.99, I just couldn't pass them up!  As soon as I got them home, I looked them up on the Timberland.com website and sure enough, they are still being sold for $165!  I would have never paid that price of course, but I was just too excited!  I won't sleep on thrift stores ever again!
