THRIFTY VACATION TIP - DON'T FORGET THE THRIFT STORES!
Last week my husband and I were on our second honeymoon in Carmel Highlands. We enjoyed the ocean, the beach, lots of seafood (especially from the fish market) and of course shopping. But when I talk about shopping, everyone who knows me knows that I am talking bargain shopping. My husband realized that he really did not pack enough warm clothing and since we were going to be gone a week, I took that opportunity to suggest that we hit the thrift stores. We did, and we found some great deals. So I am taking this opportunity to tell you that you should totally look up thrift stores, second hand stores, and benefit stores when you vacation. You could seriously stumble into some great finds AND you will also be doing something extra special for a good cause. Once I caught site of sun dresses for, and I'm not kidding here $278, I knew that I was more than willing to check out their second hand stores. I figured I would not only find a good deal, but I might get something REALLY sweet! :)
