I'm honestly surprised that I wasn't born at a thrift store. Ever since I can remember, my mom and I have been complete thrift store junkies. Seriously, what's cooler than finding pieces that no one else will have for a next-to-nothing price?
While I was living in Iowa, we basically only had a Goodwill on each side of town, and it was really hard to find anything actually worth buying at either of them (save for my seafoam seahorse cardigan), so when my mom told me about her favorite thrift store in the town I'm living in now, I jumped at the chance to go.
One thing that's really cool about this thrift store is that every time you donate, they give you a $4 off coupon towards your purchase. I brought a bag of clothes I didn't want anymore and my mom had a few boxes of random stuff she found while unpacking that she didn't actually need anymore.
I didn't bother taking any pictures of the inside of the store, because my mom and I were too busy trying not to kick this girl's ass that wouldn't back off (anyone who has gone shopping with my mom and I knows to STAY OUT OF OUR WAY). But here's some pictures from their back lot that was pretty awesome looking!

Sign that let's you know there's more stuff in the back. It's basically where they keep all the bigger stuff/outdoor stuff.
I found this disturbing and intriguing at the same time. I want to know what inspired it.
They have this huge dumpster in the back that's covered in bright graffiti. I thought it added a nice touch and made the back seem more vibrant.
I want/need this pumpkin so bad.
I was really impressed by the amount of vintage skis/snowboards they had. They're all decked out in total 80s/90s stickers and paint jobs.
The only picture I took inside. I found the ultimate "nice guy" uniform.
If I go shopping and don't get Starbucks, did I really go shopping at all?
Here's the stuff I ended up leaving with!
Found these little guys for 25 cents a piece. They were with the shot glasses, but I'm going to put tea lights in them as room decoration.
I don't remember how much these cost, but I know it wasn't more than $1 a piece. I obviously needed them.
I found three shirts: WWJJD-What Would Joan Jett Do?, a Joe Cool shirt to add to my collection of 80s/90s shirts, and a shirt from Deschutes Brewery. Each one was $2.
Last, but certainly not least, I found this amazing 90s lavender baby doll dress for $2.
Sorry the pictures of the clothes aren't the best. A projector my mom bought fell on my foot before we could get it in the car, and it hurt too much to keep standing while taking pictures.
I hope you guys enjoyed this post and until next time...
Stay Stellar,
