Do You Shop the Thrift Stores? saved $352. on 2 items

regular $225 at JCPenneys - purchased for $4.99 Thrift Shop.

Recently a BlogFrog friend asked "Do you shop at Thrift Shops?"
LOL, YES! I can support a charity (Boys Youth Ranch, Goodwill, etc.)
and stay on my budget at the same time. I don't buy junk or dust catchers (nick nacks).
I buy necessities.
We have a great Thrift Shop in Lisbon, ND where I shop.
I had two great finds yesterday:

1. a heavy winter coat with hood, looked it up online, it's $225. regular price
at JCPenneys, my cost $4.99 in new condition
2. Shiatsu Massaging Cushion - $134.84 with tax and shipping at Home Depot -
my cost $1.99 in new condition
I saved a total of $352.84 just on these two items!

If I had purchased them at full price with a credit card
I could expect to pay on them for quite a while.
Instead I shopped Thrift, paid cash and saved enough
to buy a freezer! Yay!

Do you shop Thrift Stores?
