Thrift Store Find: Vintage Tupperware Mixing Bowl

Tupperware bowl

My friend Emy and I went to a local thrift store two weeks ago to look around for something that might catch our eyes. There I found this vintage Tupperware bowl in almost new condition for $3.00. I checked the bottom of the bowl and it says, "Made in USA". I bought it right away :) Here in the United States, you seldom see stuff that are made from here, seriously. 

Looking at this in my cabinet reminds me of my Tupperware stuff back home.

Thriftshop Finds: Wooden Salt and Pepper Shakers

Shakers :)

I've been wanting a good pair of salt and pepper shakers for a long time and I keep forgetting every time hubby and I go to WalMart. I am glad I found a beautiful pair from a thrift store in Reno. They were very new! I checked both for any scratches but found nothing. 

The price was $1.99 for both. What a screaming deal!

Thriftstore Finds: Small Vision Corning Ware Saucepan with Handle and with Pyrex Cover

My kitchen aid :)

I got them from my favorite thrift store in Reno last week. The saucepan was $2.99 and the cover was $1.99. I was too excited to buy them because they would make a good pair with this Large Vision saucepan  I got from a garage sale 2 weeks before. 

I think they are cute! Whatjayathink?

My Latest Thriftshop Find: Fossil Leather Purse

cute!

back part of the bag

so leather!

Last week I went to the local thriftshop to donate some stuff. Afterwards, I checked the store's purse/bag section. Then I saw this Fossil leather bag, a Rosette brand shoulder bag and a brandless cross-body bag for $3.00 each. After checking them inside out, I bought them right away :)

Everytime hubby sees me bringing stuff like bags/purse from a thriftshop/store, he would grin and say, "Mahal, you remind me of  Imelda Marcos, it's just that you like bags not shoes." And I would reply, "Oh, whatever.. You should be happy that I don't shop at the malls/boutique." He would say, "You can do whatever you want." Hehehe!

My First Thriftshop Find: Fossil Purse

As far as I can remember, this purse was my first thrift shop find about 3 years back. My family went to Carson City and hubby dropped me and my daughter Jen off in a thrift shop while he and my son Jun went somewhere. When I saw this purse, I fell in love with it right away but  I was a little skeptical to buy it because it was really very pricey. As in really pricey.

I remember I was holding it while having deep thoughts should I buy it or not, checking the purse inside out looking for some flaws (there was none) when Jen said to buy it. That's what I did. I bought it :)

Oh, the price of this was $15.00 (if my mind serves me right). Pretty expensive huh? But it was all worth it because I believed that fossil is a good brand. I think I was right, wasn't I? 

Thanks for dropping by :)

Thrift Shop Find: Xoxo Red Handbag

My other son Chad took me to a thrift shop last month when hubby and I flew to visit him and his  then fiancee, now his wife, Jenny in Surprise, Arizona.

He knew that I am crazy for thrift shopping, hehehe! Anyway, I bought 1 Guess top, 4 pairs of new branded pants, and this handbag/purse. This purse is new without tag for $5.99 only.

Good deal, ain't it?

Thanks for dropping by.

Thrift Shop Find: DKNY Denim Long Jacket Coat

I so love this jacket coat!  I considered it as one of my best possessions because it is DKNY :)

I bought it for $6.99 from a thrift store in Reno. The Asian Store (Manila Hongkong) in Reno has 3 thrift shops nearby so after I'm done with my Pinoy foods shopping, I'd go to one of the stores afterwards to look around and to buy if I see good finds.

I spend long hours inside the store, sometimes hubby would complain especially if he waited like 2 to 3 hours and when I'm done, I check out 2 or 3 items only, sometimes, nothing. Well, that's just me, hehehe! Before I buy anything especially from a thrift store, I would check the item inside out to make sure that it's a good find, otherwise, it's just a waste of money.

Thrift Shop Find: Kathy Van Zeeland Purse

My gay friend Pinky just moved in to his new apartment last week and he needed table and chairs. A Filipina who is working as a volunteer in one of the Thrift Shops has informed him that they got table and chairs over there so I drove him to the said shop to check.

While he was checking the stuff, I looked around for just anything. Then I saw this white purse... I was like, "Hmm. This is pretty!" I checked it inside and out to make sure that it has no defect. I did not find one. I wanted to run to the cashier to pay it right there and then until I saw the price. I was like, "$6.00! This is too much!" I only pay up to $3.99 on purses I found in yard/garage sales, and thrift shop. I don't "splurge" on second hand stuff, hehehe!

Pinky said it's already a good find so I bought it anyway :)
