Saturday was the big day! The day the thrift challenge went down. I challenged the Thriftanistas to spend $25 or less and have the lowest price per item cost.
11 Thriftanistas competed. Two walked away with a $25 gift card to Unique Thrift. Everyone else received a $5 gift card for participating.
 |
Some people were still shopping after the challenge or went back for more with the shiny new cards. |
I almost stuck to my own personal budget of $20. Only $3 over.

Our thriftiest Thriftanistas |
Sunday, I had another thrift date and was $10 over budget. Gahh! I said I was only going to look and take pictures of everyone else's find but I just couldn't help myself.

Long tunic - check out my Jolie leg. Vintage parisian sweater dress - More leg. Orange 80s blazer - This is going to be a fun piece to work with. Vintage London Fog trench - Another trench for the collection. |
I met up with some very lovely ladies at a Unique store I had never been to. I was impressed. The store was very clean. It was quiet and there were nice gems at affordable prices.
 |
I bought the beaded bag and the Liz Claiborne. The other 2 vintage bags had us all green with envy. Gorgeous finds! |
 |
All the beautiful Thriftanistas. My sister is on the right. This was her first time thrift shopping! |

Which one do you go to? I tend to go to the one on Elston and Kimball but haven't had many finds there at all lately! Itching to find a new thrift haven.
