saturday was busy too.
baby bliss left in the early a.m. to go hiking/mountain climbing with our friend S___. i was blissfully home alone for several glorious hours.
later the three of us went shopping at value village thrift. my best buy was a black dress similar to a favorite black dress i already own. i was overjoyed to find this newest dress. a plain black dress can go from the library to the white house with a few changes of accessories. the best thing was that red labels were 75% off and i got the dress for 62 cents. :0)
that tops a previous best buy of a few weeks ago from v.v.t., when i got a dress for 75 cents.
and i'm not talking about clothes with strings raveling, torn seams, or lint balled up all over 'em y'all. 99.5% of the clothes i get at the thrift are very gently worn. the only exceptions i make are for clothing baby bliss or i will use for lounging.
i like the v.v.t. better than goodwill. goodwill's discounts aren't all that good and they're sometimes few and far between. they offer 10% off to people who donate, 25% off (i think) on tuesdays for seniors, and sometimes they do holiday sales.
v.v.t. has better deals but you gotta search for them. saturday, red tags were 75% off and blue tags were 50% off. the v.v.t. i used to shop back home had four discount colors every day. i wonder if they still do that or if they're down to two colors as well.
after shopping we ran off in search of fried fish. we found some but it wasn't as good as i wanted it to be. i asked for whiting and they said that's what i got. but it didn't taste like whiting. didn't particularly look like it either. i think they think that most people don't know one fish from another once it's fried.
i do and i won't be eating there ever again.
