When I was a young single mom entering the work-place and I got the nicest work clothes at thrift stores. They were really good brands. I am almost 55 now and I still have some of them.
This summer has been ridiculously hot. Triple digits and 90s. The few days it was in the 80s was bliss but it didn’t last. The smoke in the air from wildfires isn’t helping either
That was a bargain haul for all of those clothes. So many pretty dresses for the little ones. Have a safe journey and I hope you are blessed with good camping weather. Have a joyous time together 🏕️⛺🙏❤️🌞🏴
My sister and I went to PE island, absolutely loved it ! I have always dreamed about it, and then we made it happen !it was so beautiful, and I love Anne of green cables, still read those much loved books over and over . That deodorant is the one I use, it is aluminum free! I thought the same thing for the price, but have tried others and this one works for me ! You did really good on the shopping, but you always do as you are a smart shopper and know value! God bless you, and I hope you have a wonderful trip !
You’ve found some great purchases again! Some people use Magnesium gel or oil or Milk of Magnesium as deodorant. I’ve done so in the past and plan to start in again. It takes a while for your body to adjust to it. I’ve had a busy schedule traveling this summer so am off any normal (whatever normal is) routine. I went to a Nordic Fest in Decorah, IA (3 hours from me) on Saturday. It’s always a fun time with a parade, food, craft and painting demonstrations, music, folk dancing, a Viking encampment, a museum, and much much more. My daughter was in a lutefisk eating contest. Lutefisk is a Nordic fish preserved with lye. The fest is always the last Thurs to Sat of July - very hot but such a great time. Sat is the parade so the best day to go. I first started going when I was in the 6th grade. My great grandfather went to Veterinary school in Decorah and other family went to the college there so Decorah is special to me. Maybe some day you’ll make it to the Midwest. I could give some great ideas of things to see and do. My daughter was in a re-enactment on Sunday afternoon. She does several in the summer. I didn’t go this time but she has more coming up in Aug and Sep. I certainly hope that you have a great time on PEI and nice cooler weather. We stayed in a cabin when we were there - there’s many to choose from at relatively reasonable prices, so if you get rained out with thunderstorms it may be an option. We took the bridge across but the ferry back. I went with my sister. She passed away in Feb so I’m thankful for those memories.
Such special memories. At times I have made our deodorant might go back to it. At some point we would like to travel. It’s hard to find people to watch animals. That usually costs more than our actual trip. We are tent people when you have a large family you need a certain amount of cabins for us usually 3-4. We book 3 tent sites at most places or group sites. I’ll do a cost break down for this trip we took.
I am so so jealous. I would love to go to PEi. Have the best time. I have read the books so so many times and watched the movies as much too. So love Anne with a E.
I know you don’t like to use these type of things but triple antibiotic ointment instead of deodorant will help. I use it for a couple days then take some days off. It works on the bacteria that causes the body odor.
when you not long ago done a great clothes haul .looked loads but never seem to be enough clothes when so many in a home , has i said before my mum had 165 of us and always getting bundles clothes :)
Hi, MommaBear! I use something called Lavilin Deoderant Cream. It's expensive, but a little goes a long way and a single application can last days for some people. It does have fragrance, though, unfortunately. It also has castor oil, which I know some mommas don't want to use during pregnancy. I've tried a few different "natural" deoderants and nothing worked for me besides Lavilin (and sometimes Lume). It's just so effective.
I have found that name brands generally are a little bit better quality, but all clothes are manufactured in China and super cheap. The more expensive brands really jack up their prices, and even if the name brands are somewhat better, they aren’t 5 times better, although their prices are often 5 times or more higher. I have no problem buying and wearing used clothing. To me it’s good stewardship of our finances and our beautiful plant earth.
I wanna go to your thrift store... Ugh in Georgia we have value village thrift store. They closed the store to remodel and now it's ridiculously high 8 to 13 a T-shirt, a jacket was 21 and you have to pay for a bag. i said well my value village days are over ! I'm on the lookout for a new thrift store .
Native stuff is so pricey!! Someone suggested it for my oldest for face wash and the price made me wanna cry!! The face wash works really well but still so expensive
How did you get on with native deodorant? I love native deodorant but they stopped shipping to the uk which is really sad 🥺 great haul and some great bargains xx
I use Lume and swear by it. My best friend and I dog showed. You are expected to dress professionally. She lived in St Stephens NB. A person from BC told me that she figured Ann must be wealthy because she dressed so nicely. I never let on that Ann bought all her name brand clothing at Frenchy’s , 😂
Nice clothes& they are cute..you are right..kids get dirty& why pay so much for clothes when you can thrift....Take care& have fun..relaxYou are awsome& blessed& loved.❤🤗🦜🌴
What is wrong with buying cheap clothes. Would not know a name brand if I feel over them. Just do not get it. Get more of a kick out of buying deals then caring where it comes from. Thrust store a my go to. Well done.
I love your haul!!! Half price, you can’t go wrong!!!
Right?!
Great deals!

My sister and I went as well in 2017.
Thank you!
The games will be great. I like the cookie sheet magnet idea. Bocce Ball makes a great camping activity and takes up very little space.
I’ll look up that game!
You’ve found some great purchases again!

Oooo we are doing a trip to Calais on Wednesday for groceries so I'll have to check out the thrift store!
Yes please do! I hope you get some good deals!
Oh my I just love to thrift shop I always find good deals Nice shopping haul Praying your back gets better 😊 God Bless You ❤
Yes! Thank you!
Baking soda or arrow root powder is great for underarm rash and help with odor too! Just a small amount!
Yes I used to make my own deodorant. Hoping to get back to it once I am settled again.
You are a Wonder Woman
😂
We used to use the Native but halfway through the day we smelled terrible. My daughter found that mitchum works really well and its only $5/6!
❤😊

Good to know!

Yes the children also play hard and get messy. So we keep 5-10 outfits per person.
It’s crazy prices on clothing. I try to buy cotton clothing and natural fibres etc. I pick up so many branded clothing and sometimes like new.
That’s wonderful!

I’ll look into that. I should just make some. I used to and had no issues but life gets busy.

True.
I'm not a brand snob, but I've found some expensive name brand clothes when thrifting at bargain prices. And occasionally the tags are still on them ❤
YES exactly!

So sad when a good thrift store closes.
I love the Ann of Green Gables Story. When I started out homeschooling my 3 children they all grew to love that story, even the boys 😊
I shop only at thrift stores for my clothes and I find some really high end brands!! I can’t stand to pay full price for my clothes..
I agree! I do not like full price at all!
Native stuff is so pricey!! Someone suggested it for my oldest for face wash and the price made me wanna cry!! The face wash works really well but still so expensive
Yes it is!
How did you get on with native deodorant? I love native deodorant but they stopped shipping to the uk which is really sad 🥺 great haul and some great bargains xx
I really like it honestly
i like Lume
Good to know thank you!
I have had the same challenges with deodorant. Yes, the clean ingredient deodorant are expensive. I am 62 years old and NOT pregnant.😂
lol are you sure you not 🤣😂🤣
Thanks for sharing!!
Hey,have you tried corn starch for deodorant purposes?? I used to use that a lot years ago
I use Lume and swear by it.
My best friend and I dog showed. You are expected to dress professionally. She lived in St Stephens NB. A person from BC told me that she figured Ann must be wealthy because she dressed so nicely. I never let on that Ann bought all her name brand clothing at Frenchy’s , 😂
I may have to try that!
I use Lume. Need to reload 2 X during the day
You will love the Native deodorant..............works and smells great
I tried it so far so good
It may be a fungus under your arms. Try diluted tea tree oil for the fungus one dry then apply your deodorant. ❤😊
The n
Thanks for the tip!
Try some corn starch for deodorant. 😊
Nice clothes& they are cute..you are right..kids get dirty& why pay so much for clothes when you can thrift....Take care& have fun..relaxYou are awsome& blessed& loved.❤🤗🦜🌴
Thanks so much!
Just discovered HUME deodorant. Not LUME, but HUME. I like it a lot..
Hum I’ll look it up!
Use plain old fashion corn starch. Seriously just brush it on. With a rash i do it Under my breasts get sweaty so i use corn starch
My mom does too. That has not worked for me. But I have made deodorant and it worked great just need to make again. Life got busy
Momma Bear my aunt used rubbing alcohol under her arms
I use fresh squeezed lemon juice as deodorant.
Interesting
Do you have no pong there. I am allergic to most things and No pong works.
Not sure is that a deodorant?
What is wrong with buying cheap clothes. Would not know a name brand if I feel over them. Just do not get it. Get more of a kick out of buying deals then caring where it comes from. Thrust store a my go to. Well done.
Yes I like deals so much better!
I hate buying bras. They should cost the same as underwear. Don't understand why so pricey???? Ugh!🤣
Me too the bra didn’t work either now I need to return. Sigh
@@mommabear2many Oh, I hate when that happens!! Ugh!
