As I mentioned it in one of my posts, our family loves to shop at thrift stores. We also like checking out garage/yard and estate sales. Our days out shopping for clothes or any other things we need, besides groceries are usually on Fridays and Saturdays. These are the days where we can find inexpensive items and the best deals! Others may sleep in on these days, but that to us is overrated. It's a day filled with lots of driving, snacks and fun! We also get to spend the whole day together as a family. Thrift--ing has become a family activity for us! Believe it or not, Laien loves it too!!! This past weekend we were out whole day on Friday and Saturday just hitting up yard sales and thrift stores. We found lots and lots of great deals and we were just so excited we did not want to stop. The weather here has also been so nice that it makes it even more enjoyable. There was a big church yard sale that we went to and I went crazy. I love church yard sales because you can fill up the trunk of your car and leave with your wallet still full. Saturday was the last day of the sale and they had to get rid of everything. You get as much paper bags you want and fill it up with whatever you can find for $2! YES!!! For $2 ONLY! I was able to pick out some cute skirts and dresses for the missionaries, bunch of clothes for Laien, and of course myself. Ethan also picked out some good stuff:) I had so much fun and I remember just going through racks after racks filling up my bags. We left with four full bags and spent a whopping $8 for what could have been at least $500+ worth of clothes. The following pictures are evidence of the great deals you can get from thrift stores and yard sales.
Clothes that I got for Laien. They have been washed and ready for him to wear :)

My Sunday outfit were all found at either thrift stores or yard sales. The sunglasses and shoes were what I found this past weekend. I just love how I am able to find some of the cutest clothes and I don't have to pay much!!! It becomes even more exciting when you find things you've always wanted but could never afford. Try it out! I think you will enjoy it too:)
