On Monday I gave you guys the rundown of last weekend's Housing Works $25 all you can stuff in a bag sale and now I'm showing off the goodies I nabbed. The warehouse was full of secondhand threads and I was able to fit 29 pieces of clothing in one bag. Though the bag normally costs $25, I took advantage of a Groupon deal so the price was only $10. If you break that down per item, the cost is less than 35 cents per piece!

Check out a few of my favorite finds from the Housing Works sale.

This past weekend I was in thrifter's heaven at the infamous Housing Works warehouse sale. The $25 Buy the Bag event featured bins, boxes and crates of thrifted clothing for anyone brave enough to deal with the 90 plus NYC weather. In last week's video I showed you how to prepare for a sale like this and now I want to share how the event went down.The awesome Housing Works staff let me take a peek at the scene before the hungry crowd entered. Several dozen bins were piled high with goodies.

Last week I told you guys that the awesomeness known as the Housing Works "Buy the Bag" warehouse sale is returning. For $25, you get a bag full of clothing. This sale is only held a few times a year, so I can't tell you how excited I am for it to finally return this Saturday, 7/23. But because I love you guys so much, I want you to be as prepared as possible if it's your first time attending. It can be a mad house in there. Though it's...

Earlier this week I gave you guys a quick recap of the first Adventures in Thrifting where I met up with a few readers to go thrift shopping. The theme was The Big Three and we went to Goodwill, Housing Works and Salvation Army on East 23rd Street in New York City. I already showed you what I found, so now it's time to see what my amazing readers scored.Peep the quick video below where the ladies show off their goods, including on trend pieces like a coral...

This weekend was the inaugural Adventures in Thrifting and we had a blast. I met up with four readers for a day of thrift shopping. We hit up the "Big Three" on East 23rd Street: Goodwill, Housing Works and Salvation Army. Here's a peek at what I found.

We started at Goodwill where everything with a green tag was 50 percent off. I found a ton of goodies in less than 30 minutes. These Nicole Miller peep toes had me at hello. Believe it or not I don't have any red pumps, so I was hardcore crushing on these. They were only $12...but they were too big!
