Thriftin' Pays!

Just wound up a day of thrift shopping and replacing my trashed cellphone and think I'm almost in for the day so here's the report: I went to a thrift store here in town after finishing transactions at the cellphone place and was browsing around when my new phone rang and it was my buddy Jacie. Her and her dad were not far from there so they came by to see me and wouldn't you know, Miss Jacie has a fondness for thrift stores also so she spent a little time checking things out.. I had already found a couple items and wasn't having much luck and after they left I was ready to go too. As I was headed for the check out I spotted a jacket that I thougt I might like..It was my favorite color and a Columbia, which are pretty pricy new...so I nailed it and checked the size and proceeded to the checkout counter... On the way out to my car I decided to put it on and after I got ready to start up the car..I checked out a pocket to put my phone in. There was a zipper pocket in the front that was barely noticeble due to a flap that was over it...well, as I stuck my hand in the pocket I felt something in the far corner of the pocket and pulled out a folded-up bill... I thought oh, it's probably a one, but when I unfolded it I saw it was a twenty!!! Needless to say..I thanked God for His favoring me today and was as happy as a lark and still am because my husband just brought me a birthday card from my California cousin, Lydia, and she sent me a whole bunch of pictures! This day has made up for the last two lousy days I spent at work!!!
This is how I am folks, when something good happens to me I can't wait to tell someone so I got right on that new cellphone and called Jacie and told her and then when I got to Big Lots to spend some of that loot I just had to tell the checkout lady about it too.. and she shared with me some of her unlikely money finds.. she said she found 150.00 in an old umbrella holder when she was curb shopping! Now, my find didn't beat that but like I said it pays to thrift shop and now I have proof!
What I found in the pocket of that jacket paid for the jacket and gave me some mad money to boot! Oh, by the way, when donating to a thrift store you may want to check all the pockets of any clothing you may be sending and make sure there's no bills folded up in there! But, then again, it's okay if you don't, too, you just may make someone's day and chances are whoever left that twenty in that pocket had forgot about it long before they took it to the store!
