unthriftiness at the thrift store...

[smittenbyu]

oh dear me! I went and spent $120 at the thrift store!!! The whole point is to be thrifty and I have no idea how I spent that much! But you can imagine how much stuff I got too!! Way too much!!!

I love shopping for D. If you see my cart it will look like I have twins...a boy & a girl! :P D & I are completely ready for snow this winter! To play in the snow!! She has snow boots & pants and a beautiful woolen (actually woolen, not polyester) jacket! I have boots too that will (should anyway) keep me warm, with nice woolen (yes, actual wool and not acrylic or polyester) sweaters! I already have a woolen jacket.

My sensitivity to cold got worse last winter. None of the fancy gloves have helped. This year I will have to fork out and get ski gloves that have wool in them! Hope I never lose them and should last me ten years! That's usually how my clothes go too. I have stuff I have worn for a decade! It embarrasses my dad to a point who sends me shopping, but heck it still looks nice, then I still wear it! My hubby is just like me. A pair made in heaven! ;)

So, it usually gives me a reason to be unthrifty and so you can imagine what a thrift store is! It's like I found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! They actually had boots that I liked in a size 5! (It still was a little big for me, but that's how life is)!! Yes, my feet are small!

oh yay! My first shopping trip in a shop in months too! I don't like shopping actually. Now I need to get a new pair of jeans too...the ones I got last year in India are tad bit too tight. I could get back on the treadmill and exercise, which I really need to, as my knee is acting up too. But yeah....

But I did enjoy the shopping, which I finished in 45 minutes!! That's a long time for me!! hah haha...

Jas and I wear clothes until they have holes or rips in them too... I also have clothes over a decade old! I didn't inherit my mom's fashionable genes haha. Jealous of your woolen finds :-) Just when I can finally go clothes shopping in peace we have another baby, making shopping very cumbersome again! Guess that's a good way to keep me from buying things, except I do need to get some new clothes and online clothes shopping isn't ideal.

haha...and now that I have a sewing machine, I started sewing up the holes!! haha!

I tend to wear clothes until they wear out, too. That's partly because I don't like clothes shopping, but also that I don't feel a need to buy new things all the time.

Hope you stay warm this winter!

but isn't that "normal" for a guy? I am always given a hard time being a "girl" and am supposed to like shopping and being all fashionable and stuff... I think my sis makes up for that part of the equation! :)

Yeah, that's true, it is probably normal. I have friends who are better about it than I am, but for some of them, it's possible that they have help from their wives...
