Yesterday’s post was set in a thrift store. Today I’m going to tell you about the amazing deals I found there. It’s going to make you so jealous. Unless, of course you live in Minot–in which case you’ll just be thanking me for the tip.
Okay, so starter info. This is useful to anyone anywhere. We all love Target, right? I have yet to meet someone who’d rather be at Wal-Mart. Barf. Anyway. Local Targets always make a deal with a thrift shop. At the end of the season, when they change merchandise out, or have overstock, they donate it. Brand new, untouched, off the rack, off the shelves overstock. In a lot of places it goes to a Good Will. But not always. I’d even venture that you could call your Target store and ask them who they have a deal with. Then shop there.
In Minot, this stuff goes to the Dakota Boys & Girls Ranch Thrift Store. If you don’t know, it’s on Broadway just south of Heritage Park and it looks like this.

It’s not just clothes. There are lampshades, table cloths, bedding, dishes, yard stuff. After Christmas this place is a treasure trove.
But right now they are having an amazing sale. All the clothes they are getting from Target, as the store makes room for back to school merchandise, are coming here–and they are all $0.99!! They have a ton of clothing from baby to adult and they are all less than a dollar. Best of all, I talked to an employee and she told me that they have received so much they will be processing it all through the month of August and the sale will last until the end of the month. So get over there already.
Did I mention shoes are a dollar too? And purses? Yep. And everything from Target is new, untouched and usually still comes with the tags on.
It’s practically stealing.
I went a little crazy. Here is a small sampling of what I picked up.
To give you the full rundown, I bought a dress, a skirt, two shirts, red pants, a pair of jeans, a scarf and five pairs of shoes.
Derek also lucked out. Well…I lucked out for him. He hates shopping, but his wardrobe has been looking really sad. I am talking olive cargo shorts with the hem ripped off of one leg–sad. Really, we are old enough and financially stable enough to afford pants. Come on. But he has been out of town, and as stated he hates shopping. So I took a stab in the dark and picked up a pair of new cargo shorts, some khakis, three polos, a pair of flip flops and another pair of shoes. All fit. Less than $10.
Awesome.
So. Be jealous, or get out to the Boys & Girls Store.
