The best thing I found was a Dooney & Bourke tote for only $50!
I only wear vintage and I don't like to spend a lot of money, so I buy 90% of my clothes from thrift stores. This striped one is definitely the best find I've had. It's my favorite dress ever and it was $5. It's starting to get threadbare and I'm bummed.
My dress and purse:
Both the dresses my sister and I wore for Christmas (that green suede one is AWESOME. I would kill for it to fit me. $4!)
For the wedding, I mangaged to find 23 of these all over town:
You girls are awesome! I can never find the patience to look through all that stuff. I usually hit Ross or TJ Maxx, today I found the perfect basket to hold my programs for $3 and I found a dress for Easter Sunday for only $15. :)
You all have found some great deals. I do enjoy a good day thrifting... :-)
My husband and I just went thrift store shopping tonight. I bought a polaroid camera. I also bought a bunch of brand new fabric. I bought some cassettes for 50cents. (I don't normally listen to cassettes but my car has a cassette player and these are so cheap!)
Oh man. I am a thrift store shopper. My best find was my wedding earrings. Vintage 1950's Weiss earrings for $5! Not a great picture, but here they are.
I got my veil, with tags still on, for $2.50! I'm not even sure if I want a veil... but at that price, I figured I'd decide later!
I've found some good deals at Ross. Found vases, box for cards, and best of all a suitcase for the honeymoon! Ross has the best prices for suitcases :)
I have a Sharper Image suitcase from Ross and I adore it. It's orange which I'm not so fond of, but it's an amazing case, especially if I need to take my laptop with me.
I've been scouring my local shops for old silver teapots for my centrepieces. They're usually $5-$10 each. I have 9 so far (halfway there!). I have a circuit of Goodwill, Value Village and Talize. I think VV is onto me though, I've noticed the price of their old silver creeping up, they must realize someone is coming and snatching it all up!
Goodwill all the way! 
My MIL and SIL and I LOVE thrift stores and garage sales!!
One of the stores that I found here in the Bay Area is called Savers and between them, Goodwill, and the Salvation Army, it's thrift heaven. The china pattern I mentioned was found between Goodwill and the Salvation Army hear in the San Jose area as well as in Eureka (8 hrs away from here).
Aw yeah, thrift stores. :)
I was a cashier at a thrift store in high school, and if anyone is in the Minneapolis area, check them out -- Arc's Value Village, in Brooklyn Center, New Hope, and Richfield. I loved working there, and they are very classy, well-organized, and clean for a thrift store! This is not super cool, I suppose, but I once found brand new hardbacks of the first 5 books of Harry Potter for $2.29 a piece... hmm... and an Ann Taylor silk shift that was really lovely but the exact same color as my skin. My mom bought most of my baby's clothes there, and when I was still in high school I bought some Winnie-the-Pooh nursery stuff (wall hanging, bed set) for my hypothetical baby that I was going to have with my hypothetical husband. :) My mom laughed at me, but gosh darn it, it was so adorable and I got the comforter for fourteen bucks!

Hi Bees!
I know that a bunch of us are quite the thrift store savvy bees, so I was curious, what is the best thrift store find you've ever found?
I pieced together 8 settings of a vintage china pattern that was discontinued during the 1970's, and it's cost me less than $70.00.
What have you found/bought?
