Color Coded Thrifting

I probably spend too much time and money in thrift stores, but I continue to do it because it's my only regular form of entertainment.  Everyone needs a hobby and mine costs less than ten bucks per week (and I don't do this every week either).   One way I try to keep things in check, is to shop for items that are color coded as specials.  The Salvation Army near us offers two colors at half price each week and one color at 99 cents.  For example, these shoes set me back $1.98.  They're both leather and hardly (if even) worn.

 These jeans were a buck too.  They were not worth the tag price because they needed mending.  Even half off would have been too much.  A buck, well, that's just fine.  I've mended them and will use them to bum around in.

 This shirt was a splurge.  Although I had planned to only buy green labels, this half price white labelled item caught my eye.  Since it would still keep my total under seven bucks (including tax), I decided to splurge.

I spent $2.50 on this shirt, $2 on shoes and $1 on the jeans.  That was my cheap and easy thrift fix, and I think I did pretty well.  It's probably bad that I have this addiction, but at least it's not likely to bankrupt me!
