I bought an unopened Beachbody core mat for $2.99. Today was my lucky day I've been wanting that mat for over 2 years. Talk about patience and luck.

Congrats on your find! Patience is key! This brings me hope that I will eventually find a bosu while thrifting!

congrats - i had to look that up to see what it looks like. i've seen items that resemble that but never thought of opening it up to see the manufacturer.

in my latest trip to Savers, i forgot to mention that i also saw a Billy Blanks Amplifier weighted bar (3#) for $5.99. it was in great used condition. i remember once last year or so, i saw a sealed brand new Amped bar for $15, and it was just too high even though it was brand new.

if the Amplifier bar is still there next week during discount day, i'll consider getting it. it's well made. Vfer juberann here on VF broke a plateau* using the Amplifier and his Get Amped set.

*see this thread: I have lost 7 pounds............

That is great!

I went to my library book sale where they had a buy one free on dvds. For a dollar total I got Crunch Latin Dance by Jennifer Galardi and Mindy Mylrea's Tricycle workout.

I guess perseverance and repetition pay off. I usually only visited my thrift stores sporadically in the past and never really found anything except a single dvd here and there. I started going more frequently and last week I hit it big! I got about 15 DVDs, most of them still sealed. A lot of Pilates and ab dvds that I didn’t have and a crunch yoga and 3 Leslie’s that I already own that I am gifting to my co-worker. Woo hoo!! It felt like Christmas.

At Goodwill I picked up, each $2.50 (and still sealed):
Barre3 Standing Slim, Ballet Boot Camp, and Burner

There's also a local discount store chain that is closing all their stores (Magic Mart), and I saw in the bargain bin (still sealed, $1.50 each):
The Firm Total Body Shaping Mix (unchaptered Goodtimes version)
The Firm Total Muscle Shaping

The TBSM was a rare find!

Yes, I picked all of these up

So I had a great Saturday, store was doing a 50 off, so I decided to go and see if they put out any special goodies they want gone
$15 Pilates Pro Chair with Sculpting Handles and Extra Set of Resistance (No dvds)
$5 Bosu
$20 UGI ball
$3 Hip Hop Abs Set (Bought it yet again, i cant seem to part without it for long)
$6 Turbo Jam Dvd set like 6 of them.

I did pass an APY60 set for $25, didnt get it though. I used to like Kurt's workouts over on fittv, when it was fit tv but then i figured nah after the mixed reviews about it.

Best $49 well spent.
Made off like a bandit Saturday.
