Value Village had a 50% off sale on Monday. It was like a magnet! So a couple of friends and I went to the city for a girl's day. We started with the VV in Dartmouth; then went back across the harbour for lunch and VV #2 at Bayer's Lake. .
.
I am, of course, on the hunt for flat shoes. I found 3 great pairs.
.
- Here's a brand new pair of Liz Clairborne's, originally from Winners. These were an expensive purchase at the VV price of $24.50; 50% off = $12.50. They're very comfortable and are really cute with their 2 tone grey/charcoal coloring.
.
- This pair of Naturalizers have a cute little kitten heel; when I tried them, my foot didn't turn over but felt nice and secure. I love the color and the cute buckle; these ones cost me $6.25 with the discount.
- My last pair are just a fun little cheerful 'n' cheap pair of pink flats; cost = $4.
- I don't need another jacket; but everyone loves a double-breasted pea coat, right? Plus look at the fabric combination -- wool, viscose and cashmere! It was so soft, and it fit beautifully. I confess, I was seduced --- by the look, the feel and the cost! $6.50 with discount!
- Naturally, I hit the jewellry counter and found some sweet little trinkets. I got a red pendant necklace ($2), a pair of silver Xmas bells with a little sparkly bling (50 cents) and this lovely silver leaf necklace ($150).
And the green beaded bracelet? I looked at it a couple of weeks ago and put it back because I didn't want to pay the price they had marked on it. I don't remember what the original price was; but since then, the tag had fallen off; and when I asked the price, the clerk said that any item of jewellry without a price tag has a flat rate. My cost this week? 49 cents! It sure paid to wait.
- So then I nabbed this little ring for my daughter's birthday at the end of April
when she will turn 21 years old. My cost = $3.50.
.
It was a fun day not just because of the great bargains but because I got to share it with 2 more die-hard thrifters. And it was a treat to drive home with my usual Starbucks skinny vanilla latte and stories of our bargains.
Drop by and visit Thrifty Thursday at Tales from Bloggeritaville.

Those shoes are absolutley fabulous...you can never have too many pairs of shoes. I was also rather taken by that amazing ring you found for your daughter.Well done. I spent months looking for something for my son's 21st - I made him a book about his life which took nine months to do and was beautiful. It's now in his garage under a load of junk!
