There’s NOTHING like the thrill of a great thrift find! I love when it’s something my family will actually use and love. We’ve been making the rounds at our favorite local Goodwill’s and thrift stores the past few months, and I wanted to share some of our favorable gems.
Men’s Dress Shoes (New Condition)
One my husbands finds was a nearly new pair of men’s dress shoes which were in great condition and super comfortable. These are perfect for church, interviews, or any time a polished look is needed. I ONLY paid $2.00
Women’s Boutique Cowgirl Bootie
I spotted a pair of short cowgirl boots in amazing condition. After a quick Google search, I realized they were originally from a boutique in Nashville Honey Hush Boutique! Definitely a fashion steal perfect for music festivals or country concerts. Great for Nashville! I can’t wait to wear them! I paid $12.99.
Quarter Collector Books
Our son is OBSESSED with coins and loves collecting quarters by year. We came across a few of those classic quarter books for cheap, and he was so excited. He’s now on a mission to fill every slot. We paid about $1.00- $2.00 a piece.
Simple Modern Tumbler (New)
Thrift stores are hit or miss when it comes to tumblers, but this one was brand new and still had the label. I love this Simple Modern tumbler. I grabbed it up so fast. It’s perfect for a daily water cup to stay hydrated. I now use it regularly. Looks dented in the picture, but it is not. It’s in great condition. I paid $6.99.
Kate Spade Candy Cane Wine Tumbler
This one was too cute to pass up: a Kate Spade holiday-themed wine tumbler with a lid. The candy cane design makes it perfect for holiday gift exchange, or let’s be honest, keeping for myself. I paid $2.99
Adorable Hot Pink “Mama” Hat
Hot Pink Mama Hat …because every mama needs a hat that says it all. This one was in pristine condition and the color just pops. Great for sunny days, errands, or those no-dry-shampoo mornings. I paid $5.99
Kids’ Hey Dudes + Snow Boots (New Condition)
Two solid finds for the kids: a pair of nearly-new kids Hey Dudes (easy to slip on, perfect for school days), and a solid pair of Toddler Denver Cat & Jack Winter Boots. They’ll be ready for winter without breaking the bank. I paid $2.00 for snow boots, and $3.99 for Hey Dudes.
Women’s Snow Boots (Like New)
I scored a pair of women’s snow boots that look like they’ve barely been worn. Thick tread, cozy lining, and are ideal for snow days or winter travel. I paid $2.00
Ninja Crockpot
Yes, a Ninja crockpot. Yes, it works perfectly. Yes, I triple-checked. This is one of those rare appliance finds that makes the whole thrifting trip worth it. I love it so so much. I would buy it all over again. I paid $9.99
LEGO Kids Puzzle + DIY Decor
We grabbed a LEGO-themed puzzle filled with mini characters and tiny details. Once our son finished it, we picked up some puzzle glue and turned it into a piece of wall art for his room. He’s obsessed with LEGOs, and It was a family project to work on.
We plan to hang it in his room once we move into our new house. It’ll be a sweet memory of both his love for LEGO and our thrifting adventures. I paid $3.00.
Go Bar (New in Box)
This new in box Go Bar is the ultimate portable solution for entertaining on the go. This Keter Go Bar Table is designed with convenience in mind, and it sets up quickly and easily. It’s perfect for boating trips, camping weekends, tailgating at sports games, or hosting outdoor parties. Lightweight yet sturdy, the Go Bar provides a reliable surface for serving drinks and snacks, while packing down compactly for easy transport and storage. Whether you’re relaxing by the lake or cheering on your team, this Go Bar keeps the good times flowing anywhere adventure takes you. I paid $8.00

If you haven’t been in a while, it’s worth stopping by. You never know what treasure you might find.
