I may have just outdone myself. I just spent $0.13 on a Christmas present. And I think the intended recipients will love it! I can't share this online thrift score with you all just yet, of course - it's a secret! But here's the hint I just sent the giftees on Facebook (names have been changed for their privacy):
Mr Transformer and Mrs Transformer: be on the lookout for a package addressed to "Transformer Family", sometime in the next 5 to who knows how many days, from a seller called "betterworldbooks_". The underscore, is apparently part of their name. I have ordered you something for Christmas. Used. And sight-unseen. And for exactly $0.13, plus shipping. Enjoy!
So what do you think - am I horribly tacky for thrifting a gift? Or for bragging about it?
Somehow I don't feel tacky at all. I feel giddy. Can't wait to hear how they liked it.
And with that, I have just noticed that it is past 2:00 am. Good night(morning) all!

Are you tacky for thrifting a gift? NO. Are you tacky for bragging about it? NO. That's a victory if I ever saw one! Job well done.
ReplyDeleteHee, thanks! I think they'll get a kick out of it - it was definitely an impressive bargain.
