Thrifty

What can you really get for $30 bucks these day...11.2 gallons of gas?...McDonald's for 5?...a pair of shoes...on sale? These days $30 bucks won't get you very far. So, I decided to see just how hard I cold make $30 bucks work for me.

My little guys are starting to look like homeless children. Boston has a benefactor (Brandon B) so he's on the money when it comes to clothes. But the little guys...they go through t-shirts and shorts like...well like something.

Anyway, I decided to hit a few of my favorite thrift stores. I'm a big fan of thrift shopping...when I have time. Consignment shopping is great, but when it comes to getting the most for your dollar...thrift shops are the way to go..

My first great deal had nothing do with the boys...but I did get a great deal on these boots for me...$2. I won't need them till the fall, but I couldn't pass them up.

I got these shorts for Boston...I know, I know...Boston doesn't need anything, but for a buck a piece...really?

I got Bran a Reebok shirt and a water proof pull-over. When your a Farmington Cardinal...red is always good.

I paid $2 buck each for these warm-up pants. The red for Boston (yea, him again) and the blue for Cade.

You can never have too many pairs of baseball pants.

Now, we get to Cade and Riley...finally

I found them 7 shirts too.

Ok, ready for the grand total? $26. I even had enough change to buy ironing board for Val's baby brother Eric's new apartment! And it only cost me $2.50.

I guess when it comes down to it...you really can get a lot for $30 bucks!

Now on to something WAY more important. Burger King as these new Funnel Cake sticks. They are the most amazing things I've EVER eaten! I don't know if they always fry them up fresh...but they did for me and I was an appreciative girl. They serve it with icing...and here's the thing...there was actually ENOUGH icing for all of them.
