Thrift Store Finds 2014

I usually have no luck finding anything but old vhs fitness videos at thrift stores, but had quite a find last week at my local Salvation Army. Tracy Anderson's Mat workout, The Method for Beginners, and Precision Toning, all still sealed for $.99 each. My total came to $2.97.

I have never done her workouts. I've been curious to try them, since so many say they are effective, but I get turned off by some of what I hear about her. But, being a vidiot, and a bargain queen, how could I pass it up?

No, there is no way you could have passed that up and remained a certified vidiot! Great find!

Oh how I wish we had some thrift shops with great fitness finds around here, but we don't. I live vicariously through you all!

You couldn't, of course! What's the worst thing that could happen? If you hate them, you can trade or even SASE them, and make three other vidiots happy.

There is a waiting list on Swap-A-DVD for all of those, I do believe.

I bow to your find.

I find Dvds at my local thrift stores, but nothing anyone would want. You found some good ones!

Oh I wish the thrift stores around here had good finds! They still have Firm Classics or Tae Bo in VHS.

That was a good find!

Mine here never have anything either, Jackie. Years ago I did find the Firm Transfirmer and all the DVDs, unused, for $10.
