Why I love thrift-hunting!

Do you enjoy going to garage sales, yard sales, and thrift stores?

Do you get thrill in digging through piles of ukay-ukay (secondhand) items?

If the answer is a resounding "yes" to the above questions, then welcome to my blog!

I am just your ordinary girl, an inveterate shopper, and one of those newly-converted, insane bargain hunters. Yes, I am one of those hoi pollois, jejemons, or whatever you call us these days, who descend upon ukay-ukay shops everywhere in the city, seeking thrill in hunting items - from gadgets to clothes, to knick-knacks and odds and ends and what-have-yous. As a plain stay-at-home-wife with very limited shopping budget, I found myself excited at branded names inside a garment, accessories, furnitures, or decors.  Never mind the dust and the smell, you easily get carried away and there is never a case where I left empty-handed. There are good, quality finds if you only have extra patience and time.

To me, thrift-hunting is like treasure hunting and there are definitely no rules! Everything and anything goes but I tell you, get there early as you can armed with patience -- lots and lots of it -- and I assure you, you'll get the best selection and great scores.

This is where I will display my fabulous finds and scores from thrift stores to yard and garage sales. And if you share the same thrill with me, I definitely want to hear from you and see your finds, too. So please leave a comment and your blog links at any time so we could start a blog roll!

So here we go friends... I'm excited and I cannot wait to see what treasures will be coming up on this blog!
