Thrifty Summer Fun

VBS is over and I think we've finally recovered... it was fun but we were TIRED! Today we headed out to a free summer movie and then met Kevin for lunch (that would have been thriftier if we'd packed a picnic... but next time). After leaving him at work, the boys and I stopped by a local thrift store. I love thrift stores! And I especially love them when I find something great. Today's bargain was a set of 6 La Rochere tumblers for a total of $2! I had no idea what they were when I purchased them but just liked them... I noticed the marking and had to look it up. I also found one art book that I'd been eyeing for our homeschool and another one that looked fun. I topped off the purchase with a puppet for Nathan and a Pappagallo shirt for me. By far, the tumblers were the best deal, but with a total of $5 spent, I'm happy.
