Hey everyone!!!
Woo-hoo!! There's NOTHING like a bit of retail therapy especially if it's for a good cause and you get some bang for your buck whilst doing so.. 馃槀
What can YOU fit into this bag?
My friend and I went to the The Good Shop Mauritius this morning for a look see... Silly me saying at the door. I'll just look around. 馃槀 馃槀 馃槀 My family and friends know me better. The Good Shop has a shopping spree going where you can take a bag for Rs300 or Rs500 and fill it up with whatever fits in it!! Whatever goes into it is what you're taking home with you.
Books, books and more books
They have everything from books to kitchen stuff. Clothes, toys and more.
Liz and I both took a Rs300 bag but I had to upgrade halfway through... 馃槀 馃槀 I'm addicted to secondhand stuff. What can I say. I found some awesome almost brand new shorts and t-shirts for the Xman and some cute little outfits for myself and the girl-child. Plus... We've had so much fun! I've been meaning to go forever but as I don't have the car in the mornings I always forget about it and today was my first visit but not my last.
This is everything I managed to fit into my bag
Buying secondhand shouldn't be looked down upon. Buying new all the time is damaging to our planet and there's really no need if there's good quality 2nd hand stuff around. I've always felt especially with the kids that were growing so fast in earlier years I didn't mind having them wear hand-me-downs.
At the end of our shopping spree Liz has paid about R120 for her bag of treasures and mine came to the princely amount of R210. Wow!! I couldn't even buy one of those books new for that price. Now to put everything through the wash!!
Some nice things for the kitchen
An amazing start to my day and good time spent with a friend.馃挒
