Is It Monday Yet?

I, unlike most people, LOVE Mondays. One reason is because my husband is gone and I can sleep in (he’s an early bird). But mostly because Mondays are sale days at my favorite thrift stores.

Why is it that 25% discount can make my day? I have come to the conclusion that it is because I can buy higher cost items for less… which translates into higher profit….which means less work….which means more time to shop.

For example, I will ONLY buy higher cost shoes on sale days. Most thrift stores price higher end brands significantly higher than other brands. Just the other day, I saw a pair of Dansko clogs for $49.99! Now, I don’t like to tie up that much inventory money on one item, so I passed. However, assuming I was interested, $37.50 sounds much better than $49.99, don’t you think?

I have a list of the thrift stores I shop in and next to them, the days they have sales. This includes “fill a bag” sales and holiday sales. It may not seem like much savings, but it really adds up. Even if you only listed 50 items you bought, assuming you saved $1 per item on sale days, that would increase your profit by $50 that month! I don’t know about you but I will take anything I can get!
