GREAT FALLS THRIFT STORE JUNKIE


I'm still a little sweater obsessed. I haven't been lately to any of the second hand stores here in Bozeman, partially because they're a little expensive and I'm afraid I'll find a perfect sweater that's marked at $9 and won't be able to help but buy it.

Over the weekend we went to Great Falls. I haven't been since Thanksgiving, when I went on my first thrift shopping outing. I've had the itch to go back and right away Saturday morning went to check them out. There's 3 that I know how to get to and have a TON of stuff.

Salvation Army Bargains and Treasures
Scored 8 sweaters for less than $5!! Typically they're about $3/each, but I hit it just right with the time that I got a couple of really good deals : )

Goodwill
Found the most "fashionable" sweaters here. .. meaning ones with more of a pattern, which are what I really like to make my mittens out of. They're just a little more fun that way.

St Vincent de Paul
Didn't have so much luck here with great deals or finding many sweaters mostly made of wool. I did find a wool sweater dress! And an old men's jacket that I'm gonna tear apart for a bag or a hat. .. we'll see.

Also am going to try make some fun hats with any extra pieces!
