I don't normally shop at thrift stores or go to yard sales, but I have to say that I found a few good finds today.  I got the kids some clothes (that look almost brand new and name brands), a couple of toy cars, a dufflebag for Will to take to school, and a Spiderman blanket for under $20. 

Does anyone else do their shopping at thrift stores, yard sales, or on Craigslist/Ebay?

yes, the thrift store near me has 50% off Tuesdays, so I get all my stuff then. This past Tuesday I got shorts and a shirt for $4 (capri shorts)

See, that is the problem I normally have.  With yard sales, I always get there after all of the good stuff is gone.  lol

Awesome, that is definitely a great find!  We got the boys an iPod touch from Ebay too last Christmas  :)  But, it was a 2G.
