The guy forgot to mention THRIFT STORES!!! I went yesterday with a ChiO friend of mine (Lynn - it was Debbie Scott) to two nearby thrift stores (in Riverdale, Lynn!) and had a blast -- she is teeny tiny (like a size 4

or something) and bought a ton of adorble clothes -- Ann Taylor, etc....I was just shopping for shirts for my older son to wear to church -- e.g. polo shirts -- things with collars (which he loathes!). My friend and I always check out the housewares too -- I got some wonderful Xmas stuff -- brand new xmas mugs (great teacher gift when you put a starbucks gift card or fancy tea bags in it) for just 25 cents! She got some great vintage pottery also.
THRIFT STORES ROCK!
