must share

I don’t know if this is common to the Midwest or to Minnesota specifically, but when we find a good bargain, we definitely feel the urge/desire/necessity to share the details with those around us.  I am sitting in my room staring at a little pile of bargains I found at garage sales last Saturday and felt the need to share.

1. Brown leather boots, barely worn–$5.  Retail over $100.

2. Boutique strapless dress, never worn–$1.  The girl never wore it!  (I found the brand on ebay and some of the clothes are priced at like $200 retail!)  Crazy.  I have a couple of weddings to attend this fall…now I have my outfit set for at least one of them!

3. Black leather cocktail dress aka the coolest dress you have ever seen–$1.  I am not exactly sure which event in my life will merit a black leather dress, but I am determined to find one!  At the very least, Halloween is covered.

4. The Full Monty soundtrack, brand new/still in plastic–$.25.  My former roommate Lisa had it and I have always wanted to get it because it has some fun songs.  Well, done. 

Moral of the story: Don’t be shy…go check out those garage sales.  I hope you find some bargains worth bragging about!
