Thrifty Finds

So usually I only go to Goodwill when they are having a 50% off sale.

 (yes I am THAT cheap) 

BUT the other day was a exception.. due to the fact that well I was bored and felt like getting clothes.

 Judge all you want :D

So I go this haul for $53 (I also bought a movie and a brotank...) 

So if you do Kayla's Shopping Math

$53 / 13 Items = $4 per item! 

If I had bought all this on a sale day... My total would have been around $23 and $1.79 per item. 

Shopping Tips & Tricks

When going shopping, at either the mall or thrifting I like to follow some 'guidelines.'

These are my shopping must-have carry alongs:

1. Wear (or bring) a waist belt (especially if you are going thrifting)

This helps if you are trying on dresses that are a little big, or if the dress is recommended to have a waist belt. 

2. Wear (or bring) a black or tan cami

This comes in handy when you are in the dressing room trying on sheer, low cut, or crop-top like clothing.

3. Bring Snacks!

The worst thing about shopping is you either get a headache from lack of nutrition, or you end up spending more money on food than you did on clothes!

4. Bring a list! 

Make a list of things you NEED, and a list of PLACES you need to go. 

 I like to sometimes print out pictures of the exact products I am looking for so I don't get distracted. 

Some other tips:

1. Make sure to not get extremely dolled up. Get ready like you would any other day. Of coarse everything will look better if your hair is curled and your make-up is done to extremes. 

2. Wear somewhat comfortable shoes

3. Save your receipts

4. If you are on a budget go and get the amount of cash your budget allows and leave your credit card behind. 

Happy Shopping!
