I appear to be on a streak as far as thrift store shopping for goes. Remember how, last week, I considered looking for a $forty flannel shirt on sale for $36, but then determined one I desired even higher for $17? And don't forget how, throughout that identical on line buying journey, I moreover taken into consideration and rejected pairs of pants due to the truth I did no longer really want them? Well, bet what I observed on the thrift hold last Friday?
This actually came about through a serendipitous little string of impulse decisions. When I set out for my walk on Friday, I wasn't actually planning to go to the thrift shop; I just thought I'd stop by the farmers' market and maybe pick up some apples. I ended up deciding the apples there were all too expensive, but I thought while I was there, I might as well pop into the thrift shop and just take a quick peek at the racks. I didn't really expect to find anything, because as I've mentioned before, our local thrift shop has a pretty small selection that doesn't change much from week to week. Sure enough, I didn't see any tops on the racks that I hadn't seen before, but then I made my second impulse decision and went over to have a look at the jeans. I normally don't shop for pants at this store because there's no place to try them on, and the way I'm shaped makes holding them up to check the fit more or less useless. But when I actually found a pair in a size 12 petite, I made my third impulse decision: seeing that there was no one else in the room, I tucked myself behind the rack and hastily slipped out of the jeans I was wearing to try the new ones on. And lo and behold, they fit. I mean, like a glove. Given how hard it is for me to find pants that fit when I'm specifically looking for them, finding a pair by accident like this seemed little short of a miracle.
So, seeing as I turn out to be on this form of lucky streak, I determined to test out the rest of the pants at the racks as well. And positive enough, there was a clean pair of black cotton canvas pants in a 12 petite. I did my quick-alternate ordinary over again, and what do , the ones healthy too. I in fact hesitated for just a few seconds over them, remembering that I already had numerous pairs of black pants at home, however then cause reasserted itself; if you have as a bargain trouble as I do finding pants that suit, you cannot manage to pay for to look a gift pair inside the mouth (or cuffs, or what have you ever ever). So, after slipping lower back into my private denims again, I took the 2 pairs as much because the table and determined that they've been, not $2 a couple as I'd predicted, but handiest $1 a pair. Two crisp greenback bills, and that they had been mine.
The whole thing become so clean that it really seems type of spooky. I imply, how did I do that? Could or no longer it is that I've were given a few form of bargain-searching mojo I did now not realize approximately until now? I almost revel in like I have to strive going to a group of other retail internet web sites, putting numerous extra highly-priced clothes into my digital buying bag, putting off them yet again, and seeing if their equivalents turn out to be falling magically into my palms at good buy costs.
