There are zero thrift stores in the DC area with $4 chairs. $75 too much for thrift store furniture? Join me at the Salvation Army here for a room full of $300 thrift store items. I got my dresser there about 7 years ago and considered myself lucky at $100 - half price.

I have been searching for the &quot;right&quot; kind of matching baskets for a couple weeks. Finally some came in at the DI. They wanted $5.00 each. I ask the manager if I could have them for $5.00 for both. He said Yes!. Got them home and found price tags still on them for $36.00 each from another store. I&#39;m still waiting on a great deal for some shelves. I can wait.Laura Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15585254426161993523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1454517372986638242.post-61993535948768250272010-02-03T11:05:55.137-07:002010-02-03T11:05:55.137-07:00wow, those chairs are awesome!

A few months ago I almost paid full price for a Pampered Chef Cookie press, but forgot to place my order. Anyhow, last week I came across one at the DI - in perfect condition for a few dollars!!! YAY! I don&#39;t go quite as often, but I always seem to find some treasure when I do! (and I love to always bring a bag of donations with me as often as I go!)Jenny in Utahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12775212847822380816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1454517372986638242.post-90060611054927337122010-02-02T20:13:53.598-07:002010-02-02T20:13:53.598-07:00I feel just the same.

I do get frustrated with the prices at D.I. I find the best deals at yard sales and on KSL.

Without those two you may as well go shop in a big box store and spend much more for a lot less character ;)Annyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00387909735539879503noreply@blogger.com
