Thrift store fail but Ebay SCORE!

Yesterday morning as I thought about my 4 shirts and 2 jeans I decided it was time to go shopping. I have to own more clothes. I have to come of that cash and spend it. I immediately head to my favorite online sites. Banana Republic, Gap, and Express. All of which are having 25% sales. I put 3 shirts and 2 pants into my cart at BR and use my coupon code and the grand total was $180!!! For 3 t-shirts and 2 pants. I don't think so. The same basic formula happened at the Gap and Express too. I couldn't do it. What if they didn't fit long? I would be pissed.

I went across the street to my local thrift store where I scored my 3 jeans a couple weeks back. I searched for work pants and a work blazer and came up with NOTHING! I thought it would be easy. Size 12 is a general size right? Not a single damn thing. I wanted it too. I wanted those $4.00-$7.00 Banana Republic gently used pants. But I walked out of the thrift store with nothing.

So I ventured to Ebay. I've purchased cruise dresses on Ebay before but not anything too major. Let me tell you I scored! I spent more than I would at a thrift store but less than if I bought them from the store even with my 25% coupon. On average I spent about $11 for each item. Some items being valued at $80 new!
