thrift store shopping

we had an ice storm here in michigan..but that didn't keep us away from out favorite thrift store today..we just waited til the temperature was warmer and the ice melted so we could head out for the sales..i had a 50 percent off coupon for the local thrift store and i was amazed to find out after i arrived at the store that the coupon was for 50 percent off every thing in the store..i was delighted..so was my friend we shared the coupon at the check out she charged the items and i paid her with a check..it was fun..my boyfriend found a comfy chair and sat down he knew two women loose in a thrift store would be a long wait but he didnt mind..indeed it was a rat race in there..i managed to find some outfits for summer and jeans and dress pants and a new skillet for 1.00..my friend found blankets and clothes for her husband mother and son..two hours later when we arrived at the check out with three buggies full of stuff and my boyfriend wanted the comfy computer chair we waited  eagerly wondering what the total would be and to our surprise it was just under 60 dollars..even the sales clerk was amazed and a few of the items i had bought still had the original store tags still on them..the stock boy had to help us to my boyfriends truck as the side walk was still a bit slippery from the ice storm..after that we were off to michaels to use our 50 percent off coupons..i bought paint brushes there and my friend used her coupon to buy paint brushes and she gave them to me as part of my xmas present so it was liking buying one and getting one free...even tho the weather wasnt the greatest all in all it was fun..we exchanged gifts at her house.. i made her a woodburned clock for her dining room it cost 2.00 for the wood and 4.00 for the clock kit  and she loved it...i buy all my wood at the lumbar yard for woodburning crafts it so much cheaper and you can have the wood cut down to any size you want for free..i wrapped it in recycled gift wrap and but it in one of those xmas bags that i bought last summer at a garage sale 20 bags for a quarter..
