Yesterday I got a Liz Claiborne designer purse brand new, an $80 purse I got for $2!!!! It makes me giddy!

Have you ever got any good second hand finds?

I love second hand shops also!

Ive had many bargains over the years...including...

An Armani wool sweater for £1 (Dollars r about 1.60 to the £)
A G-Star belt, worth £45 that i got for £4
A Karen Millen jacket for £2
A billabong jacket for £2
A web cam with all accessories (headphones, mic) for £3

My latest bargain...i like decorative plates, and i found a set of Designer limited edition plates which i found on the bradford exchange. It was a set of 3, different goddesses from the Egyptian era.

They were originally priced at £5 each, and they had been reduced to £2 each, and i haggled and got them 3 for £5. I later looked up the bradford exchange and discovered that they were worth around £35 each!

It is like a treasure hunt when you go to these places. You may have to dig for the bargains, but sometimes you come up with some pretty amazing deals and stuff.

Like the saying goes. Another man's junk is another man's treasure.

You may not of had a choice growing up. But what about today? You are grown and able to make your own choices. Do you like treasure hunting in them? Have you ever found any deals?

If I need a pair of cheap work pants, or to shirts to ruin, but no. it is only out of desperation.


I wear my new clothes only for a period, but never for them to get worn much at all. I always buy new. I insist apon the look of new clothes.

It used to be fun to find new or newer stuff as a kid, but it just brings back memories of having nothing, and being dirt poor. Ah, no thanks lol.

As a teen they were great for grunge wear, and granny dresses I wore, but that was the only time I found anything that was a fashion I would wear.

Reading back, you know that IS WIERD about the Liz purse. I love them, and for some reason they always end up in thrift shops.
