Taylor Thrift

I have an addiction.  I'll be the first to admit it

Hello, my name is Erin and I am addicted to thrift stores. I know I have mentioned my addiction in past posts, but I think it has become more serious. It doesn't help that we have FIVE thrift stores within 15 minutes of our apartment. I need my weekly fix, even if it is just a quick stop. I think I can honestly say that if we were to become millionaires I would still shop at thrift stores. Mitchell should be thankful I don't have an Anthroplogie or Restoration Hardware addiction ... it could be worse. 

 I have found some great things as of late...

I know these aren't from a thrift store, super duper clearance markdowns give me the same kind of adrenaline rush ...
 Thank you Target for the 75% post Christmas markdowns. Our Christmas tree is going to be awesome next year.   



 I found this adorable coat for Winter ... only $2.00.  Practically brand new.  There is no way that I could ever buy baby clothes at full price ... or even half price for that matter.



A brand new in the box Mr Potato head for ... drum roll ... $1.00. I plan on using this bad boy to help me out in primary singing time next Sunday.


 I have a slight obsession with Halloween costumes.   A few months ago I found a super awesome high quality turtle costume for only $2.00 ... but its for a 4 yr old ... but I just couldn't say no.  I'm sure Winter will want to be a turtle at some point in her life ... every little girl's dream, right?  On Saturday I came across this adorable, brand new and super cheap chicken costume ... once again, for a 5 yr old.   I hope Winter is into animals and not princesses .....


I have been looking for some black heels now for a while ... and stumbled across these.  They still had the Nordstrom tags on them ... $98.00!  I got them for a mere $5.00.  Oh yeahhhhhh.


 My black flats that I bought from Savers about 5 years ago for $2.00 finally bit the dust ... and I found these brand new lovelies for only $5.00.

  
The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem right?

Holy cow! You totally scored on the shoes. Franco Sarto and Calvin Klein? And the coat is adorable. (Baby Gap too!) You are an awesome shopper! Way to Go!

wish you lived out here so we could thrift together!

i also had to get that alligator ornament-- reminded me of our swim team The Gators-- and then we got the stuffed fox ornament that was a throw-back to the foxes that used to live under our old deck!

i'm working on a thrift store blog post too!
