I've not had any luck with thrift stores...and with 2 little ones, we rarely leave the house on weekends (or any day, for that matter) early enough to catch yard sales at their prime.
Last weekend we had to go to a birthday party that was a couple of towns away....so we were out driving on Sat morning bright and early. I passed FOUR humongous yard sales (and b/c we were running late, I couldn't stop). I just had to turn my head and keep on driving. It was torture! |

I think it's a chain cause there's one near me too (that's def part of a chain). No workouts vids worth picking up near me, unfortunately.

Not much luck here lately either. Yesterday I was at one thrift store and the only workout video they had was Denise Austin Line Dance (or some country dance video) on VHS... oh, and last week I saw the purple portion of the fanny lifter at Goodwill... it looked so sad, standing alone in the floor. As I have my own FL, I didn't buy it, of course, but I did step on it

Today I got Mindy's "As seen on TV" sliding set.
It has been at this Goodwill for about three months. I decided today I would get it if they had it (and it was in decent shape). It was behind the counter with the "nice stuff." So I asked to look at it. Unopened. DVD and freisbees in place with the diet book. Marked $8.98. Told them I would get it. They took half off. So we will see if I actually do it. But it was pretty good for less than 5 bucks.

I keep looking and hoping...
The best I got was a VHS of a TAE BO workout for $1.99. I haven't tried it yet, but I think I'll set it out and give it a whirl. I'm going to try to hit more rummage sales this year, and I should get my sister to keep me in mind when she does hers - she goes to them a LOT.

Found Chalene
Turbo Jam 5 Rockin' Workouts at a Salvation Army for $1.99. I had tried the original Turbo Jam once, just didn't click with it, and left it with a VF pal. But at that price, I thought the universe was telling me to give Chalene's special brand of happy sweat another chance.
I recently picked up 3 of Gin's step workouts on 1 old video for 50 cents at a local thrift shop (I like 2 out of 3). And I've gotten some workout clothes that fit really well and are usually new, especially yoga pants. I love thrift stores and yard sales. To me, spring means cleaning house (sort of), flowers, and yard sales! BarbaraVT |

I got a fluidity bar and all three DVD's new in box for $100 off craigslist (today!) - not a steal by any means, but a decent deal. I've found random DVD's (mostly FIRM, but a few Leslies and Crunch) at TJMaxx/Marshalls/Ross and recently even found some FIRMS at Dicks Sporting Goods for less than half off. But now I am going to hit two Goodwill stores tomorrow - you guys have inspired me! KauaiGirl - a Bosu is on my short list too. I probably would have already paid the $100 for one (I want one THAT bad) but since I found out about the surgery I've put my wish list on hold for now since I it will be some time before I can use it - don't want it sitting there teasing me while I recover! It's bad enough my new fluidity bar will only get a few weeks worth of work before I have to stop for awhile.
