I have a thrifting win to share with you today!
This is Denver's largest antique mall. It's over 50,000 square feet and has almost 300 dealers. I can always find some good Pyrex here, but the prices aren't cheap!
I stopped there today to hunt for Christmas gifts for my antique-loving friends, and while I was there I saw this {I always see a few sets of these when I'm there}:
A complete primary fridgie set for $75.00.
This is a very typical price for antique stores, I've found.
But today was a WIN for me, because before I stopped in the antique mall, I ran down the street to Savers. I have a problem with passing a thrift store, I HAVE to stop in to see what I might find.
I'm sure some of you can relate...
Anyway, I immediately checked the "Pyrex shelf" as I always do first thing when I enter a thrift store. Sadly, there was no Pyrex in kitchen ware today.
BUT, when I turned the corner and went down the knick-knacks aisle,
I FOUND THIS!
Sure, it was one red 501 short of a full set, but I didn't care! I snatched them up and ran for the registers to make them officially mine.
They even have the old style lids:
So this is an old set--which made it even more exciting when I got them home, washed them, and inspected them to find...
And now, at the risk of making you all completely green with envy,
check out these prices!!!
That's right.
$0.99 for the 501.
$1.99 for the 502
$2.99 for the 503.
GET OUT!
I could kiss the person who priced these.
So that's my major win.
The antique mall down the street wanted $75.00 {including the 2nd red 501} but I paid a whopping $6 for my happy little set.
And we all lived happily ever after...
The End.
