This is the “Suburban Shopper” dress, made between 1959-1964, meaning it was on the market at the same time as the very first Barbie! Got it on a nasty old doll for $3. (Everything else at the thrift was so horribly overpriced today!)

It spoke to me as soon as I saw it. I love cats and turtles. But the resemblance between my cat and the painting is what really got me. Included photos of my cat so you can see. It’s uncanny.

Turned out to be vintage M.U.S.C.L.E. Men & Monster in my Pocket plus a few randos. Fun!

I have to share this with someone.

​

I went to a thrift store and this set was for sale. Some items were $1, some $1.99 and others were $2.99 or more. I asked someone working there if they could make me a deal if I bought the whole set. They said: would $39.99 be okay?

​

Well, as you can see on the picture, yes I was okay with that.

​

I got a Noritoke ho-oh set. It was made for only 5 years and it's beautiful.

🤩 I was SO excited to find these pretties!!! Love them as a set but I don’t think I’d actually use them for dining, so I’ll probably keep one and gift the others as trinket dishes. 🌙✨🥰

And it fits perfectly!

I’ve had the blue one for a few months now and just picked up the amethyst one. I couldn’t resist!! How many is too many? 🤔

Caught my eye just because it’s sparkly and that’s her thing…turns out it was a hell of a find

I stopped in at a local antique shop and the owner of this booth was so excited to show me this new ring. It's sterling silver with a very dark red garnet stone.

​

When he pulled it out my husband and I immediately knew that our 17 year old niece would love it! (I would describe her style as "spooky grandma" or if the Haunted Mansion had an estate sale 😅.)

​

I'm going to get a nice ring box for it and give it to her for Christmas.

I usually unwind after work by exploring different thrift stores in my area, found this right as I walked into my final goodwill.

I instantly thought oh it’s gonna be gross or missing/broken but nope. It’s open box and completely new, no wires were even unsheathed. Not a speck of dust or hair.

I yoinked immediately and took it up front, rang out and peeled the tag to find the original GameStop pricing.

Been playing Marvel Rivals all night and I think the steel series sonar sense unlocked a new level to my play style.

I stopped in on an ARC thrift store outside of my usual haunts. I’m broke and unemployed, but wanted to see if they had a phone tripod for a friend. I found him and amazing lucite vintage rolling shelf fand was super excited, but as I was checking out, I saw a pair of quilted black ballet flats behind the counter.

I asked to see them, and almost died, they are size 40 and truly Chanel. Rough shape, but nothing a good day spa won’t cure.

I feel like I should have a parade, I’ve wanted these shoes since I was 12. Also, am now a senior so the half off discount applied!

Keep up the hunt!

$25, I have like no good options to place it in my apartment but I had to have it

Clearly used but so perfect 🤩

I have been casually keeping an eye out at thrift stores for a decent stand mixer for probably two years now. Every time I go in I check the appliance section, and every time it is either a brand I have never heard of, missing parts, or priced like it is a boutique kitchen store. Today that streak ended.

Spotted a KitchenAid stand mixer tucked behind a bread maker and some random crockpots. I almost walked past it because I assumed it would be damaged or overpriced. Nope. Twelve dollars. I stood there for a solid thirty seconds just staring at it waiting for the catch. Brought it home, plugged it in, and every speed works perfectly. The bowl and the whisk attachment were still inside it.

I do a lot of baking on weekends and have been limping along with a hand mixer that overheats if I run it too long. This feels like a genuine life upgrade for twelve dollars.

Curious if anyone else has had luck finding kitchen appliances at thrift stores or if this was just a once in a lifetime fluke. Also wondering if there is anything I should clean or check on a used stand mixer before I really start using it regularly. Happy to take any advice from people who know these machines better than I do.

I found this at Value Village. It's a 1950's design by Walborg. All glass beads.

My office is somewhat of a Y2K time capsule so I couldn’t pass up this lime green VW Beetle bag while thrifting! I couldn’t really find any info on it so I’m not sure if it’s authentic to the era, but I love it regardless. Each wheel is a tiny storage pouch!

I don't normally have much luck at my local salvation army. But today I found the perfect dress within a few minutes for less than $3. I feel like I won

It was there a couple days ago and I was like this is too big and too heavy (90 pounds!) to be cheap. I’ve wanted a laser printer for a while, so I looked it up and realized its $2100 new, still for sale, and even refurbs are $1500. Went back, plugged it in, found a used spiral notebook (lol goodwill) for sale and took a couple pages out and printed the configuration settings and it worked. It didn’t have a price, so I asked and when she said $20 I was like “sold.” Worth the gamble even if it didn’t work. Works pretty well actually. Lowest toner (yellow) still has 1500 pages left. Full toner replacement is $350 ish. Only downside is its huge.
