With the end of October comes our two month anniversary of Compacting and I'm struggling to even remember the beginning of the month, let alone what we bought this month. We did some thrift store shopping a few times this month, hoping to find a snow suit and boots for Macy. We didn't find those, but we did buy a bunch of second-hand books and a Halloween costume for Fletcher.
Marc bought a shirt for himself and a matching one for Fletcher from Woot.com (new, not used). I didn't find out until it arrived in the mail.
Yesterday I broke the Compact to buy Macy a snow suit and water proof gloves (new). She still needs snow boots, but I'm going to keep searching ebay for those. You can read more about that experience -- at Walmart nonetheless -- in my post over on the Green Phone Booth today.
Oh and I almost forgot to tell you about my two big scores this month! First, Marc's school was taking all of the Lost & Found items that hadn't been claimed to the Goodwill. He rescued a cute pink snow jacket for Macy, which she totally loves.
Second, I went to drop off some old clothes in one of those big metal donation boxes you find in parking lots. On top of one sat a practically brand new pair of Nike tennis shoes in girls size 13 -- Macy's size! I took it as a sign of good karma and snagged the shoes for her. Hey, I donated more than I stole.
I love a good find!

Great job! I had to get some new shoes this month (my hubby said "don't you have any shoes with toes in them?"), but figure I wear them til they are so dead anyway it's not too bad. Your karma is working for ya! :)
