The “Unofficial” Macklemore Thrift Shop Challenge By July / Food, Laughter and Happily Ever After/blogspot.com
This great solid wood trashcan was only marked $5.99... I got for $3... I plan to paint the sides a pink color and will add Emma’s monogram in purple vinyl. Brand new scented drawer liners for $4.99... I Paid $2.50. This will be perfect in Emma’s room as well This large grey plastic elephant was only 99 cents! I scored for 50 cents!!!
I’ve said it before and I will say it again a million times... I LOVE John and Sherry of Young House Love! I look at their blog daily... sometimes twice a day! Last Friday they issued a challenge based on the new Macklemore song. Step #1. Go to a thrift shop with – just as the chorus of the song says – “$20 in your pocket” and take a picture.
The first thing that caught my eye was this gorgeous bronze bowl... With a little rub n’ Buff I’m sure that I can get this thing shinning. I plan to use it on the counter in my bathroom. it can either hold small soaps or jewelry that I take off at night. At only $4.99 it was already a steal but I managed to only pay $2.50! ** more on that discount later!
I visited B Thrifty in Woodbridge, Virginia (13412 Jefferson Davis Hwy Woodbridge, VA 22191) this was my first time at this thrift store and after such a successful shopping trip it will not be my last. I was armed with my $20 and my trusty shopping partners (Hunter and my mom) and boy did we make out!
Do you want a discount??? B Thrifty offers 30% off every Monday!!! I bet you can guess where I will be every Monday! The best purchase of the day however was this GREAT chair!!! It was $9.99 and I paid $5.00! I couldn’t pass it up! I had been looking for a desk chair for Emma’s room for over a month and I knew that I could make this one work the second I saw it. Here is my final bill! Yes I got all of this... for only $15.75.
Here is what I did end up purchasing...
I mean how we could not find something good...look how massive this store is! Also, look at all of that furniture! Step #2 was to spend your $20 any way you’d like and photograph your spoils.
I received a 50% discount because the cashier asked what I was taking photos for and I mentioned that I was doing it for this blog! They are actually looking to start a blog themselves about projects that people have done from items found in their store and I plan to provide them with photos of what I did. I’m so excited to share all of the fun things that I will be able to do with the items I purchased...

15 Things You Didn’t Know You Can Recycle www.auraltech.com.
Garbage. Americans produce more and more of it every year, when we need to be producing less. Even the most waste-conscious among us can feel overwhelmed by the amount of household waste that goes beyond what municipal recyclers and compost bins can handle. That’s why our editors spent the summer of 2007 investigating the state of waste management in our country, putting this list togther for you, explaining how we can get serious about the three R’s – reducing, reusing, and recycling — and divert more waste away from landfills.

15 cosas que usted no sabía que podía reciclar 3223,.
Basura. Los estadounidenses producen más y más de ella cada año, cuando tenemos que estar produciendo menos. Incluso la mayoría de los residuos con conciencia de nosotros puede sentirse abrumado por la cantidad de basura doméstica que va más allá de lo que los recicladores municipales y contenedores pueden manejar. Es por eso que nuestros editores pasaron el verano del 2007 haciendo la investigación sobre la situación de la gestión de residuos en nuestro país, y la resumieron en esta lista para ti, que explica cómo se puede tomar en serio las tres R - reducción, reutilización y reciclaje - y desviar más residuos de los vertederos y botaderos de basura. 1. Electrodomésticos: B-thrifty los acepta siempre que funcionen, www.b-thrifty.com, o puede ponerse en contacto con el Steel Recycling Institute para reciclarlos. 800/ YES-1-CAN, www.recycle-steel.
org. 2. Batteries: Recargables y de un solo uso: Battery Solutions, 734/467-9110, www.batteryrecycling.com. 3. Cajas de cartón: Póngase en contacto con organizaciones no lucrativas locales y refugios de mujeres para ver si pueden utilizarlos. O bien, ofrezca las cajas de cartón utilizadas en su lista Freecycle.org local o en Craigslist.org para otros que puedan necesitar para mudanzas o almacenamiento. Si su lugar de trabajo acumula al menos 100 cajas o más cada mes, UsedCardboardBoxes.com los acepta para su reventa. 4. CDs / DVDs / discos de juego: Puede enviar CDs rayados de música o de computadora, DVD y PlayStation o Nintendo y discos de videojuegos para AuralTech para pulirlos, y van a trabajar como nuevo: www.auraltech.com 888/454-
5. Ropa: ropa usable puede ir a nuestra tienda B-thrifty, llámenos al 703.496.5100.

Done ropa inservible y toallas para refugios de animales que a menudo los usan como camas para mascotas. Considere llevar a cabo un intercambio de ropa en su oficina, en la escuela, o en su congregación de fe, o centro comunitario. Intercambie ropa con amigos y colegas, y ahorre dinero de un armario de ropa que no usa y para el regreso a la escuela de los niños. 6. Las bombillas fluorescentes compactas: Toma a tu tienda IKEA local para el reciclaje: www.ikea. com. 7.

Videos de ejercicios: Intercambia con otros usuarios en www. videofitness.com. 10. Anteojos: El Club de Leones local o cadena de tiendas locales puede recoger estos. Los lentes se rectifican y se le entregan a las personas que los necesitan. 11. Espuma de embalaje: La
oficina local de encomiendas y envios probablemente aceptará cacahuetes de espuma para su reutilización. O llame a la Plastic Loose Fill para encontrar un sitio para dejarlos: 800/828-2214.
