Thrift Store Score - Citrus Juicer

Sometimes I need the juice of a lemon to put over broccoli or the juice of a lime to put in guacamole - I saw this juicer in Goodwill and thought it would make those tasks easier.   This was $2.99.

Then I looked how much it would cost to buy a new one - $9.99 at Kohls or Target.  Score!

Thrift Store Score - Xylophone

I found this at a garage sale for earlier this summer for 50¢ and it was in perfect condition and is so colorful and adorable!!

Score!

Thrift Store Score - Books

1. CS Lewis popup book - I found this at a garage sale and since The Chronicles of Narnia are

favorites of mine, I wanted to buy it to introduce the stories to my niece and nephew.  My niece has LOVED it.  She's three, so she doesn't listed to the stories yet, but she loves playing with the pop-out 3D pages.

To buy this new would be $48.95, I paid only a few dollars.  If you have kids in your life and you can find this used - you definitely should buy it!

This is Hadley's favorite page!!

2. Musical Christmas books

There were a bunch of these at my local Goodwill in the summertime and they work perfectly - I bought one for my niece and nephew for Christmas! 



3. I've been collecting the Left Behind series in paperback version and it's been really fun to hunt for them.  I've found books 1-9 so far so.... I have only 7 more to find!
 

Thrift Store Score - Lite Sprite Tree Toy

When I found this at Goodwill, I had no idea what it was, but it looked like a diamond in the rough!  It was all dirty and the battery area was all corroded.  I cleaned it up and added batteries and it didn't do anything.  But after chipping away corrosion (thank you Dad) and trying it a second time, it lighted up and played music!  Pretty fun for my niece and nephew to play with!

If you were to buy it on Amazon, you'd pay $44.95 - I think I paid $3.99!!

Thrift Store Score - The Office Clue Board Game

I am a HUGE fan of The Office - it's my favorite TV show ever.  I watch the entire series on Netflix over and over.  I also love the game Clue and board games in general.  So when I saw this at Goodwill for $1.99 it was an easy decision to buy it.  It did have an "As Is" sticker on it, which made me worried that a bunch of pieces were missing, but I took the chance and bought it.

I opened it up to assess and every single piece was there - in good shape - in fact, it looked like the game had only been played twice.  Exciting!  Also a fun surprise - I paid $21.00 less than if I had bought it used on Amazon.

Thrift Store Score - Cafe Terrace at Night Wall Art

I found this framed Van Gogh print at Goodwill for around $3.00.  I've always liked it, so I bought it and put it up in my office.  

To buy this online would be $63.00!

Thrift Store Score - 3 Tiered China Stand

I'm trying something new - every Thursday I'm going to share something I found at a thrift store, Goodwill or garage sale and share why I believe it was a good find.  These posts will all be titled: Thrift Store Score!  

I bought this at Goodwill for $9.99 (which is more than I normally spend on one item at Goodwill) because I just redecorated my living room in blue and because it is such a unique piece.  

When I got home and started looking at comparables, I discovered it was a good price!

Let me know what you think of these new posts!
