Big Spend-Up!

Today, I found a lot of money in my account from the government.  So, I thought it would be a good day to get exactly what I've been eying off in the stores over the last few months.  I shifted over $100 more than usual and out the door I went with a few more shopping bags than usual as well.
My first stop was Life Line; a great charity store a Logan Central.  I get a great deal of my handbags, coin purses and clothing there.  Over the last two years, I've been looking for a great pair of jeans; and I found one pair (which I'm wearing now and they're comfortable, but wearing thin around the outer leg seams).  So, I went in search for another pair.  But!  I didn't just find one pair, I found two! How's that for luck!  They both fit like gloves and are so, so, so comfy!  One pair still have their tags attached to them from the store they originally came from!  Wow!
While I was walking around Life Line, I found myself a nice bag hanging off a high hook.  It was the very first thing I spotted when I walked into the place; it just seemed to scream out to me from its high position up there.  I got a hold of it and knew it would be perfect to take with me to volunteer work to hold my knitting; instead of Grandma's yarn bag (I don't want to get that damaged or dirty).  The best thing is that this bag I found is from the Sydney Art Gallery and is made from twill cotton!  Oh My God!  I couldn't believe it was an art gallery souvenir!  Another bit of luck!  I found a cute little coin purse in the store as well.  It was the first one I've found in around 6 months.
So, there you go, I spent $21.00 at Life Line and bought some lovely things!  What have you scored lately that's worth letting people know about?  Until my next post, happy bargain hunting.
