Thrifty Finds

As promised, I present today's bounty...

I visited 4 thrift stores, and bought 10 things:


I got the boys two stuffed animals, and a nice blue sled for Arlo and I!
We tested the sled (as in we both sat in it on the floor), and we both fit! 
I think we're too late for this snow, but we'll be ready for the next!



The alligator was clearly the popular choice.



A bottle opener and a cheese/fruit knife peeler thing!
We were tired of using the hinge on the can opener.
(For opening bottles, not cutting cheese!)



Three books (from left to right): 
1. The Pacific Crest Trail by Nat Geo from the 70s. Arlo plans to
hike the length of it someday, so I thought he might enjoy this!
2. Another Nat Geo book, but this one is about the Sierra Navadas.
It has a lot of pretty pictures. I like Nat Geo books.
3. Enduring Patagonia - to balance out the purchase of two picture books.
I don't know anything about it yet, but I'll be sure to share what I find later.



2 shirts for Arlo, one of which is not pictured because he was 
sleeping in it when I took these. The shirt not shown says 
"Easton Farmer's Market". Seems to never have been worn! =)


Total Spent: $22.21


And so I would say my finds for today would rate as very good. The pick of the day would definitely be the $10 sled (though the boys may argue it was the alligator). I looked it up, and it's a Pelican Mega Snow Runner - $25 on Amazon. Not bad! Looking forward to the next snow!!!
