Why the coat? I recently purchased this coat for 69 cents at a thrift shop. No, I'm not kidding you! For years now, I have ALWAYS looked in the local thrift shops BEFORE simply paying retail at a chain store. Granted, you will not find exactly what you're looking for each time at the drop of a hat. It may take going back a few different times to finally find your item. It's like a treasure hunt! :)
It's so rewarding to purchase a much needed winter coat for 69 cents, or a like NEW popcorn maker for $2.49. Need I mention a fancy "tournament" version of Chinese checkers for my husband and I to play for a mere $1.99?
Anything you could possibly want or need besides food is right at your fingertips for a bit of searching/hunting and sometimes, mere pennies.
