So, everyone that knows me knows that I LOVE the thrift store.  Even before the recession we are currently in.  I have not paid for price for clothes, gifts or even groceries in YEARS!

My S.O. says that I have a shopping addiction and put me on a spending “diet”.  It has been over a month since I’ve been in the thrift store and I just had to go yesterday.  I’m so glad I went. 

I’m sure like the rest of you, as you reach your goal weight you go through many different clothing sizes.  I’ve learned from experience that you will go broke buying clothes each time you are in a new size, but if you dont buy new clothes you look like a homeless person. 

The thrift store near my house frequently has things in the $1 bin. Yesterday, I picked up 2 pair of slacks, a skirt, and 4 shirts from the $1 bin and they were name brand items.  old Navy, Land’d End, etc.  I even got a Kate Spade purse for $2.

So, back to the part about the spending diet.  I knew i couldn’t walk in the house with these bags even though I spent less than $10, so i went to Whole Foods and got 2 of their paper bags (they have handles) and put the clothes in there.  I covered them with a few boxes of pasta and was good to go!

I know it’s silly, but a girl has to do what a girl has to do!  I hope I’m off of my spending diet soon, otherwise I’ll have 40 boxes of pasta in the pantry!
