This diva scored big at her fave thift store -- and you can, too
We love it when our scouts in the field give us a heads up about the great deals they find. Here's one from fellow Times fashionista Kim Wilmath, who grabbed all sorts of deals at her favorite thift store this week:
Oh, Divas. Have I got a deal for you.
Wednesday, I went thrift store shopping, which is of course always a bargain. But WHOA. It was deal overload.
I went to Life Treasures on Dale Mabry -- my fave because it's not too big or overwhelming and because the staff are all volunteers and so sweet AND because they donate the proceeds to LifePath Hospice.
Anyway, they're having a huge sale on jewelry and watches (50 percent off), mugs and glasswares (50 percent off) and a big $1 deal on a ton of clothes (anything with a pink or blue tag! Had me hunting!)
I got a silver retro digital watch for $4, a cheesy mug that says "May your day be filled with love" for 30 cents, two leather purses for $20 and a silk blouse for $1. The sale is going on through the weekend, according to the store's marquee.
Bargains on top of bargains? We like it.
