I have been inspired to try "thrifting." My aunts have always been masters of this. But I am not a shopper and when I need something I prefer to go and get it at one place. But when I started reading the Soule Mama blog my interest was renewed, not only for my fashion but home and most importantly budget. Last week I desperately needed a new pair of maternity jeans. Not knowing where else to go in my neighborhood I went to Target and found a great pair for $32.99. I had severe "post spending" but knew I needed it.

At the Living Green Expo the ARC Valu Villiage had a booth. I stopped and asked if they carried maternity clothes and was overjoyed to find out they did. I even got a couple for 20% off. I must have gone on the right day because all purple tags were 50% off that was all the maternity clothes so here is a list of my purchases.

For me--Cute black skirt, gray shirt dress and navy blue and white summer dress (all maternity.

For Two--long black shorts and the toy of his choice.

For Avril--Summer dress with pink flowers, purse, wallet, "crown" head band and toy of choice.

For Mavis--sweater dress, sweater, short sleeved shirt, and 2 pair of pants. All so cute and totally my style.

For the house--4 matching teacups with flowers. I have been drinking my raspberry leaf tea and the girls enjoy it to so now we have matching cups for our tea parties.





All for less then I paid for my jeans.
