In our area Back to School starts the August 8th. Yup, that means right around the corner. My 11 (almost 12) year old daughter is 5’ft 3″ in tall & is currently in Ladies/Junior Sizing. The hardest thing to buy for her is bottoms. We went to Academy Sports & Outdoors last weekend to purchase her uniform tops & khaki shorts. What I came out with was 4 short sleeved junior girl tops, 5 khaki shorts, 2 pairs of gym type shorts, a backpack for my son , & a drink/snack for myself (I was tired & hungry at the end of the trip). Grand Total $154.10!!
Since my son has all his uniforms already purchased (minus pants for winter), I decided this week I would finish my daughter by purchasing her pants for when the cold weather sets in. My mission was to purchase all her bottoms (4-5 pairs minimum) this Saturday morning. I was bringing $40 which should be plenty to see what kind of deals I can get hitting the garage sales, thrift sales, and consignment sales.
Want to see my haul??
5 Pairs of Khaki Pants: Coldwater Creek, Old Navy, Eddie Bauer, Ana& Liz Claiborne
PLUS I picked up 2 dresses: 1 was a Brand New Karlee Dress with a Boutique tag priced of $89!
Lastly, I bought my daughter a Levis Yak Pak- Bag to match her Khaki bottom dress code. I also bought my mother a Robe NWT
Grand Total: $39.04

I love, love, love thrifting!
I OS want that Levis Yak Pak-Bag! It is so my style!
Nice Haul, love the dresses! Good deals on the Khakis too!!! Back to School shopping can be very costly if you don’t use your resources wisely! š Thanks for sharing, did you want to go shopping for me too?
ESO!!!!
back to school shopping at thrift stores is not only economic, but cool! great haul amiga!
I shop for family little kids, teen boys, grown daughters, sons-in-law at consignment (in their $1 corner) and at Goodwill. Absolutely stunning what is out there. Daughter bought a $400 evening gown for $100 at consignment that was brand new. Got beautiful shoes to match for $12, brand new. This for an officer’s military ball.
Great haul. I rarely have luck finding stuff for mine. They just have a hard body type. All legs and no waist. I do like the pants at Childrens Place. They roll and button into capris. Good for the whole year!
