Some pre-summer bargains!

Usually on a Friday morning we'll nip to the Vinnies in Altona North to see what we can see. Well, I saw this!

 It hadn't been priced so we asked the staff lady who offered it to us for $8 - of course we snapped it up! I felt a bit guilty actually as they probably could have asked a bit more.
I also found this awesome sparkly Crimplene dress for only $6 - original tags still attached!


Sometimes you find one thing that just makes your day, and for me it was this dress - I felt like I shouldn't even look at any of the other racks cos I'd be pushing my luck! Of course, that didn't stop us from sneaking off to Savers Footscray at lunchtime. I nabbed this lovely rayon fabric (about 3m) for $3.99.













And my partner in crime scored a great Hawaiin shirt for $8 too.

I'd also just like to respond to Dian's post about the pushy customer - I think that kind of behaviour is unacceptable. Well done Dian for supporting the sales lady. Volunteers should not have to deal with that kind of drama! She should have reported HIM to the media!!

Happy shopping weekend everyone!

Laying on your fold-out sun-chair in your crimpolene dress. Great finds.

Banana lounge!! I had one but hubby threw it out in a council clean up and I could have shot him. I loved that sun lounge. He bought me a new 'better' model which is okay, but I liked the old one better.
