It's my favorite time of the year :-) … ready, set, go! It's time to for back to school! As a child, the back to school season is how I was introduced to thrift shopping. Growing up in a family with six kids, Mom always had to look for ways to stretch the family budget. I wasn't always happy with shopping at the thrift store because I wanted brand new items like my classmates. Now that I have a family of my own, I always keep this in mind. Kids like to arrive to the first day of school with new trendy items and that is totally fair. I pick up a few popular brand new items and then I take a trip to Goodwill to see what school year staples are available. Check out what I found on my last shopping trip...
