Bargain Hunting Superstars!

WOW- was that a move or what?! I am not going to go into all the gory details but I am looking towards our future as Florida residents. We took a day trip to Clearwater today and I will say that it was AMAZING!
The girls and I have been thrifting and making some great finds. We had to rebuy a lot of our things because we could not bring them from Ohio or they got damaged beyond repair in the move. I have been trying very hard to buy second hand as this move turned out to be way more expensive then what we had initially planned.

So here is a list of the the bounty...

2 couches (one with a sleeper sofa), 8 throw pillows, 2 love seats, a chair, coffee table and 2 end tables $350.00 - our living room furniture was molded after sitting in the uhaul for a week and we needed more then one set to fill up the family room.

a full size headboard, dresser with mirror, short dresser, full mattress and box spring, 4 lamps, 2 nice pots with lids, 25 glass tumblers, a serving set for 18 of vintage corelle dishes (made in the USA) a plastic hamper, 4 more throw pillows- $120.00 - this was out of a condo that was used for a snowbirding couple the bed still had plastic wrap on it.

a step 2 video rocker, a folding wood sand chair, a americana basket, a queen bedroom bedding set from bed bath and beyond including the pillows, shams, bedskirt, and curtains. Pier One wall hangings, a pottery barn bean bag chair (that Cooper has decided is his new bed), and 6 various planters for my lanai. $32.87

Now to convince Kevin that he likes to go with us! He is more of an "I don't want to look for it, just buy it kind of guy."
