A trip to the bins!

What a great day! I spent about 3 hours at the bins today and did amazing. I spent a total of $96 for 147 items. 


The craziest thing I purchased today was this Mickey Mouse (I think he is riding a train) "cuddle rug" sleeping bag. The big issue is I can't find any information on it, I still think it was worth the risk!


Look at this head!



TopShop is a trendy higher priced brand, resale prices are all over the place but I'll estimate getting about $40 for this dress.




Boden is a brand I'll always buy, their children's line Mini Boden goes for high prices. The adult pieces do well to. Estimated price $30




Vince is another trendy high end brand that has great basics. I need to check the fabric content on this piece, but I'll guess around $35 without doing any research.



Lululemon pants! Remember these have pullout tags so most of the time the only way to recognize the brand is by the little logo. The size will be hidden in a pocket. 
Estimated price: $50

A North Face Down jacket! I found this gem hidden under a huge pile of blankets in a bin that had been out for a while. Remember to dig. Estimated price: $60 because it has a very small pinhead sized hole on the sleeve.


Eileen Fisher is one of my favorite brands to pick, I can't wait for a fast high dollar flip. I was worried that the small size would make it a hard sell but it looks like I can still expect around $60!


This Mountain Hardwear jacket just sold on eBay a couple days ago for $70! 


Vintage Pendleton wool flannels are always a hit!! Double check for moth holes, but even in rough shape these will sell. Estimated price: $30

I knew nothing of this brand, Novica Collection, before today. I saw the Alpaca blend fabric label and knew to grab it. I'm glad I did! Estimated price: $50

BUY HANNA ANDERSSON PAJAMAS! Seriously, especially the Disney ones! These basic ones will sell for around $20 but the lincesed ones sell for up to $50-$60! 


Last up is this Ted Baker shirt, I found it in the pile with the top shop dress. Estimated price: $50



I hope this has been helpful and that this weekend is a great thrifting weekend for us all!

    1. Thank you!!!! Adult Hanna does okay, all of it is good to pick up. The PJs are the best though.

  4. Great scores, I'm jealous of your little. Ours is expensive per pound with high "competition" and lousy selection most of the time.

    Thanks for sharing, I learned a lot!

  5. Hi Nicole! Couldn't wait to see what you found at the outlet! Great finds! You inspired me to go to the outlet that is closest to me- about 45 minutes away- this morning. I got 3 of the Goodwill big bags for about $32 (not sure how many items). I did get some jeans which I think made the haul heavier. Planning a trip to a new-to-me outlet about an hour away next week. Do you write down what you get and the prices and keep track of what they sell for? It seems sooo time consuming. Keep up the great work and I look forward to your posts every day! Have a great weekend! Heather

    1. That's awesome!!! I'm glad you found some goodies. I don't write everything down, that would be intense! Thanks for the support :)

  6. Great haul!! I wish I had an outlet closer to me :) Closest is (according to google maps) 50 minutes and 47 miles away (each way) which is about $12 in gasoline and 1 hour, 40 minutes round trip. Plus it's in a not so great neighborhood (this is the Akron, Ohio outlet).. Hmm.. I have been there once but didn't focus on clothing while there so I didn't find too much of interest on that day, but I will have to go back another time!! How close do you live to your bins?

  8. After answering those questions, last but not least, would you happen to still have the Mickey Mouse cuddle rug sleeping bag? If so, how much are you asking?
